3M's Newest Innovation for Backlit Signs

Today, the sign industry got bigger and brighter. 3M (SGIA Expo Booth 2661) is excited to launch its latest solution for backlit signs: an extra-wide, 5-meter (197-inch) version of 3M™ Envision™ Flexible Substrate FS-1. This expanded addition allows shops to create larger, brighter sign faces, while reducing the need for seams.   The Envision FS-1 line of flexible substrates – which now comes in roll widths ranging from 59 inches to 197 inches – is engineered to be more light transmissive and energy efficient, because it requires fewer LEDs to achieve the desired luminosity. The 3M™ Panagraphics™ III Wide Width Flexible Substrate – typically recommended for fluorescent light sources – is also available in 59-inch to 197-inch wide rolls.   Envision FS-1 flexible substrates offer multiple decoration options, including cut vinyl as well as direct print. Graphics manufacturers and installers will also benefit from peace of mind, because this product is backed by the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty, providing up to 9 years of outdoor durability.   To learn more, please visit www.3m.com/envisionfs1. Customers should contact their local sales rep or distributor for more information on pricing and availability.
