There are literally hundreds of materials available on which your Level design can be printed:

  • Recycled Type II Vinyl
  • Smooth & Textured Type II Vinyl
  • Window Films & Polycarbonate
  • Commercial Pressure Sensitive Films
  • Eco-Friendly Commercial Paper
  • Wood Veneers
  • Acoustic Sound Control Fabric
  • Burlaps, Silks, Jutes, & Paperweaves
  • Glass Beads
  • Rigid Materials

And the number of new prinatable materials grows almost daily. In an effort to offer the best of these to our customers at an affordable cost, we have categorized these into two groups:

  • Standard Substrates
    • We offer three standard substrates that are our most popular and most often specified materials. Each has been thoroughly tested, is maintained in inventory, and is recommended for Level designs:
      • Recycled Type II Vinyl
      • Solara Heavyweight, PVC-Free, Premium Grade Commercial Paper
      • Optically Clear Window Film
  • Specialty Substrates
    • This group consists of any of the hundreds of other materials available on the market. Many of these materials have already been tested and evaluated by Level, and we routinely print on them (though we generally do not carry them in inventory).
    • Upon request of a material that has note been previously tested, we will gladly attempt to procure and test that material as efficiently and economically as possible. Please be aware that additional charges will apply for this service, and we can make no guarantee as to the printability of untried materials prior to testing.
    • Specialty films, rigid materials, wood veneers, natural fibers, and glass beads are just a few of the materials in this group.

Contact your sales representative to obtain technical specifications or inquire about the availability of a particular substrate.

All standard substrates offered have been tested to meet commercially acceptable standards of performance. With that in mind, some substrates such as the wood grains or glass beads are by their nature more delicate than a standard vinyl and proper consideration of installation requirements is necessary when choosing these.

It is important to remember that each substrate will handle color differently, and printing on different substrates can have a dramatic effect on the way color is reproduced. For example, a light tan that looks great on a white vinyl may appear much darker on a wood grain substrate, or it may dissapear on a light tan grasscloth. Or a full-coverage design that accentuates a grasscloth may completely obscure the beauty of a glass bead when printed on it. Ask your sales representative for assistance in selecting the right material for your application.
