Printing film

Depending on the printing process and/or ink system, various plastic films can be printed.

Want to print plastic films? We produce lots of different film types for this purpose, which offer different printing qualities depending on the plastic. To balance this out, “difficult” films have appropriate pretreatment.

To achieve good adhesion, all our films require appropriate film inks with binders matched to the plastic type.

Sometimes printing is only possible with film pretreatment or by applying a primer.
And then there are differences between individual print shops – although all use the same printing process.
We therefore recommend always testing the film type in advance if not regularly printed on. We are happy to advise – give us a call!
