Frequently Asked Questions About SuperSmooth PET Greyback Banner
What makes SuperSmooth PET Greyback better for roll-up displays than PVC materials?
As it isn't possible to hem the edge of a banner going into a roll-up banner cassette, supported PVC banner material will eventually curl at the edges. SuperSmooth PET Greyback's no-curl formula is specifically designed to maintain perfect flatness through repeated rolling and unrolling cycles, eliminating edge curling and ensuring a professional appearance every time.
Does SuperSmooth PET Greyback require lamination?
No, one of the significant advantages of SuperSmooth PET Greyback is that it does not require lamination. The material's durable surface provides excellent protection for printed graphics, saving time and reducing production costs while maintaining outstanding print quality and longevity.

SuperSmooth PET Greyback is compatible with multiple printing technologies, including solvent, eco-solvent, UV, and latex printing.
