Rap's Printing specification:
Rap Industries digitally print in house to an extremely high standard using pigment-based ink. This type of ink provides a water resistant and light fastness surface that with over lamination provides a scratch resistant surface.
Bannerstands are printed on 240 microns polyester stoplight film, which is tear and crease resistant to give your banner a much longer life span and the laminate is 125 micron PVC, giving an overall thickness of 365 microns.
Pop-up displays are printed on 320 microns stoplight film, Rap use a 125 micron laminate on both sides of the print giving an overall thickness of 470 microns which is tear and crease resistant to give your pop-up a much longer life span.
Rap Industries always use a stoplight material to prevent shadowing and being able to see through your graphic display. If you are comparing Rap's pricing to other companies products please double check their printing specification and materials used.
