Choosing the right material for point of sale / point of purchase displays is a complex equation balancing durability and cost. A low cost graphic that looks great but cannot withstand the constant hand and foot traffic of a retail space is no more successful than an indestructible graphic that only needs to last for one event. The choices can be overwhelming. That is where Sihl comes in...

While much of the industry relies on vinyl for this application; Sihl manufactures a wide variety of durable, adhesive print media, including wet strength paper, polypropylene, scrim banner and yes, self adhesive vinyl.

3198When pennies count, finding a lower cost print media that still has the color gamut, density and drytime of its more expensive cousins is not always easy.
