Cutting, printing & shaping.
Polypropylene
We can cut these by guillotine or by a shaped knife
into almost any shape you need.
Printing: The thin Polypropylene
sheets can be are treated on both sides to give improved
printing adhesion. This treatment remains effective
from the date of production for 6 months. Our range
is not guarantee suitable for printing unless you
obtain a certified corona production date label. Some
litho inks can be used with the corona treatment in
effect. Some Litho and Screen printing inks are acceptable
but Litho inks with a high mineral oil base should
be avoided. Test them first. Vegetable / Soya based
inks are usually suitable. Film lamination sealing
is recommended if they are in contact with any Litho
printed surface. They can be Hot Foil Blocked. Brass
or steel block is preferred.
The thin Polypropylene sheets can be creased at room
temperature up about 1400 microns. They can also be punched,
perforated, welded and sewn.
PVC - please ask if
there is any technical data you require.
Thin Plastic Sheets - PVC & POLYPROPYLENE Only
You can also cllick POLYSTYRENE
as it has a good colour range but is harder and does not bend as much or fold like Polypropylene.
