Translucent Vinyl
The Translucent Vinyl is a high-performance, thermal transfer printable material designed for wire and cable identification. Featuring a self-laminated format with a white printable zone and a translucent overlaminating area, this material offers excellent durability and resistance to harsh conditions, making it ideal for use in challenging environments. Its clarity, conformability, and resistance to water and oil make it a reliable choice for long-lasting identification solutions.
