We continue to introduce our fellow graphic installers and curious visitors to the manufacturers of vinyl graphics that we have installed or tested in our projects. Today, we will discuss Fedrigoni, a renowned name in the paper and adhesive products industry, particularly known for its high-quality offerings. The company’s adhesive products are designed for various applications, including labeling, packaging, and specialty uses. Fedrigoni’s adhesive products are distinguished by their high quality and commitment to sustainability.
Fedrigoni manufactures self-adhesive papers and films widely used in labeling and packaging, as well as luxury packaging materials designed for high-end applications. They also offer specialty adhesive solutions tailored to specific requirements. Our interest lies in their products for indoor and outdoor applications, lamination for digital printing, and solutions for graphic signage and films. These materials are engineered to offer excellent print quality, durability, and reliable adhesion to various surfaces.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl Films, Indoor Installations
Fedrigoni’s self-adhesive vinyl graphic films are suitable for a variety of indoor applications. These films come in both monomeric and polymeric types, with options for permanent and removable adhesives. They are ideal for point-of-sale displays, wall graphics, window graphics, exhibition stands, and promotional signage. These films offer high print resolution for vibrant graphics and smooth application on flat and slightly curved surfaces.
- Monomeric vinyl indoor films are generally used for short to medium-term applications. They are cost-effective and suitable for flat and slightly curved surfaces. We have installed them as indoor promotional signage, and they can also be used for retail displays, point-of-sale graphics, and temporary outdoor advertising. They typically last up to 3 years, depending on environmental conditions, with a shorter lifespan in the Greater Toronto Area. These films are affordable, easy to apply and remove, and offer excellent print quality.
- Polymeric vinyl films are more flexible and durable than monomeric films, making them suitable for medium to long-term applications with a lifespan of up to 5-7 years. We have tested them on vehicles; they are also used for outdoor signage, window graphics, and floor graphics. These films offer greater flexibility, higher durability, and better resistance to environmental factors.
- Cast vinyl films are the highest quality films, offering superior conformability and durability, ideal for long-term applications. We plan to use them in our future projects for fleet graphics and high-end signage, especially on complex curved surfaces. These films last up to 10 years and provide excellent conformability, superior durability, outstanding print quality, and resistance to extreme weather conditions.
High-Durability Vinyl Films, Outdoor Installations
For outdoor signage, Fedrigoni offers cast and polymeric vinyl films with strong permanent adhesives to meet various signage needs. Cast vinyl films are ideal for high-end, long-term applications requiring superior conformability and durability, making them perfect for vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, and outdoor signage. Polymeric vinyl films provide a cost-effective alternative with good durability and moderate conformability, suitable for medium-term applications such as partial vehicle graphics, general signage, and window graphics.
- Cast vinyl films are produced by casting liquid vinyl onto a moving web, resulting in a thin, flexible, and highly conformable film. They are typically thinner than polymeric films, providing superior conformability and excellent resistance to environmental factors, including UV light, temperature extremes, and moisture. These films are highly flexible, making them ideal for applications involving complex curves and irregular surfaces. They have a long lifespan, typically lasting up to 10 years, and can conform to complex shapes and surfaces, including rivets and deep channels, without cracking or peeling. They provide a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the visual appeal of graphics. Cast vinyl films are ideal for full and partial vehicle wraps due to their ability to conform to complex shapes and surfaces, suitable for long-term branding of commercial vehicles, and perfect for high-end, long-lasting outdoor signs and advertisements. We have used them in our boat wrap projects.
- Polymeric vinyl films are produced by calendaring, which involves stretching the film to enhance its dimensional stability and durability. They are generally thicker than cast films, providing good durability and moderate conformability. They offer good resistance to UV light, temperature changes, and moisture, but not as high as cast films. Polymeric vinyl films are more flexible than monomeric vinyl films but less so than cast films, making them suitable for moderately curved surfaces. These films typically last up to 5-7 years and are suitable for medium-term applications. They are more affordable than cast vinyl films, providing a good balance of performance and cost.
Fedrigoni’s materials are known for their excellent print clarity and color fidelity, and they offer versatile adhesive options suitable for various surfaces, from rough and textured to smooth and flat. These materials are designed to withstand environmental factors such as moisture, UV exposure, and abrasion. The manufacturer continually develops adhesives and substrates that are compostable and derived from renewable resources, customizing products to meet specific client requirements, including custom colors, textures, and adhesive properties.
