Note: Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) laminating film is suitable for short term indoor or outdoor signage on flat or slightly curved surfaces with vertical exposure. Durability of the laminate depends on proper drying/curing/ outgassing of the ink. Printed PVC must be allowed to dry for 24-48 hours at 70° F prior to lamination to allow residual solvent to evaporate.
