Colored film for lettering and graphics

It depends on the film series and how strongly the surface curves. The manufacturer's information for Scotchcal Series 50 specifies flat to slightly curved surfaces; Series 100 is also described for curved substrates. This does not establish suitability for every contour. Check the information for the specific product, the substrate and the application instructions before selecting a colored film. Tell us about the component geometry if you need help choosing a variant.

Parts that form one area of color should come from the same production batch. The manufacturer documents for the Scotchcal ranges advise this to reduce visible color differences. With metallic variants, the direction in which the film is applied can also affect its appearance. Include the design, required parts and desired color in your inquiry so that material selection and converting can be reviewed together.

Outdoor use should be assessed for the specific film and its application conditions. Manufacturer information distinguishes between colors, climate zones, orientation and exposure to light. Substrate preparation and cleaning also affect the period of use. A single durability claim for all colored films would therefore be misleading. Check the information for the chosen variant and describe the location and expected exposure when you make an inquiry.

A suitable colored film can be cut for lettering and graphics; the manufacturer documents describe processing with computer-controlled cutting systems. Krückemeyer GmbH also converts suitable films for specific applications. Whether a particular design is suitable as a cut or die-cut part depends on the material, geometry and desired supply format. Send us the outline and details of the substrate so that we can review the options for your application.
