Shining a Light on Creativity: New 3M Wrap Reflective Film Improves Application with High Conformability and Self-Healing
Oct 19, 2016
St. Paul, Minnesota – As the graphics industry continues to flourish, product quality and versatility have become the name of the game. Setting a new standard for reflective film innovation, 3M has developed Scotchlite™ Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R, opening the door to the next era of vehicle wrap installation. Engineered with wider retro-reflective viewing angles, the film’s chief advancement lies in its increased conformability and self-healing properties. This multifaceted film provides installers with a film that stands up to the rigorous vehicle wrapping process that includes repositioning, elongation and conforming without severe bruising.
The highly forgiving, robust 3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R possesses increased stretch and bend capabilities, allowing seamless molding around vehicle contours like door handles and bumpers with little to no bruising. If soft bruising or dark spots do occur during the installation process, it can be "healed" with heat to leave a uniform graphic appearance with restored reflectivity.
“At 3M, we’re eager to see how graphic installers incorporate this new reflective film into their designs and how it impacts their customers’ businesses,” said Tammi Johnson, Marketing Manager, 3M Commercial Solutions. “3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R is the latest step forward in reflective technology, furthering 3M’s commitment to developing the most innovative products on the market.”
Equipped with the new micro Comply™ Adhesive with non-visible air release channels, 3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R facilitates the ease of application with high-precision installations and easier film removal. Offering increased retro-reflectivity with wider viewing angles that disperse light over a greater surface area, this white, printable film provides the perfect canvas for installers to create dynamic graphics that offer brilliant brand visibility and safety with a daytime sparkle or nighttime shine.
From the sloping curves of a motorcycle to the intricacy of textured wall, 3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R opens the door to the widest breadth of reflective vinyl applications yet, and is compatible with Solvent, UV, and Latex Inkjet printing and Screen-printing.
