Printing materials for long-term performance

As printing technology evolves, so do the printing substrates designed to produce eye-catching, beautiful and engaging promotional goods. We recognise that printers are making significant investments in the latest print machinery, and it is therefore paramount to provide them with the best printing materials on the market.

• Palight® PVC Foam
• Alupanel® Aluminium Composite
• Solid PVC
• Polystyrene

Whilst it is possible to print on practically any substrate, PERSPEX Distribution strives to stay ahead of the market with materials that produce the best possible finish for digital print, wide format and screen printers.
