Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can GF 162 laminate be used on any kind of vehicle graphics?
No. GF 162 is ideal for flat or very slight curves. In the cases of vehicles, it is best to use a comformable, long-term laminate that matches the specifications of the wrap (print) vinyl used. GF 162 laminate is meant for applications where up to one year of durability is needed and is not meant to be stretched or to conform.
-
Will a Calendered laminate like GF 162 work on a Cast print vinyl?
No. You can apply a cast laminate to a calendered vinyl, but you should never put a calendered laminate on a cast vinyl. They must be of a similar construction so that over time they shrink at the same rate to avoid delamination.
