SCREEN PRINTING/OFFSET/LITHO
Catalina Graphic Films offers a full range of pressure sensitive vinyls, polyesters, window graphics and specialty films for the screenprint, offset and litho industries. Catalina’s continued commitment to using only the highest caliber of raw materials ensures high value solutions for an ever-changing market.
POLYESTER FILMS
Metallized Polyester
A series of print treated metallized polyester films with a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive and a 90# stayflat release liner designed for use in graphic arts. Available in bright, brushed and matte finishes, they are appropriate for applications where metallic luster, durability and dimensional stability are critical.
 
Printable Polyester
These clear films in top-coated clear and matte are available with permanent or removable acrylic adhesives, as well as a variety of other Catalina specialty adhesives and release liners. They are intended for use as high quality markings in applications requiring clarity, durability, high temperature resistance and dimensional stability.
 
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
Holographics
For outstanding visual effects, Catalina’s 2.0 mil Holographic vinyls are brighter than any traditional type product presently available. These holographic films are clear embossed films available in various patterns, and are metallized to create 3-D and prismatic patterns. The resulting special effects create eye-catching signage such as decoratives, posters, children’s toys, game cards, labels and lettering on banners.
 
Prepared for Print (P.F.P)
Catalina has the capability to "Tip" or "Prepare for Print" (P.F.P.) plastic films so that they may be offset printed. This entails attaching offset paper to the sheet to be printed by gluing it along the long (gripper) edge with either a solid or dotted glue line. Materials that can be tipped include: acetate, polyester, rigid vinyl, petg, and oriented polystyrene.
 
Styrene
High impact polystyrene specifically designed for screenprint or litho printing. Standard finishes are matte/matte, opaque white. Custom finishes and colors are available. Oriented polystyrene (OPS) is available in clear, matte, or white.
 
VINYLS
Computer Sign Vinyls
Intended for the Computer-Aided Signmaking (CAS) market, Catalina offers a complete line of premium calendared vinyls with the highest gloss level offered in the computer sign making industry today. Catalina’s films are superior for die cutting and are available in a flexible range of films specifically formulated for many applications such as lettering and graphics on banners, automotive, marine, store advertising and displays.
 
Intermediate Vinyls
Intended for use in high quality interior/exterior marking or such as bumper stickers, fleet markings and signs, requiring durability, flexibility, and low cost.
 
Premium Vinyls
Flexible vinyls—offered in clear, white and opaque colors—are intended for use in high quality interior/exterior markings or decal applications, such as bumper stickers, fleet markings and signs, requiring durability, flexibility, and low cost.
 
Rigid Vinyls
Rigid vinyls are non-plasticized and dimensionally stable. They are ideal for use as high quality markings or decal applications requiring durability and dimensional stability.
 
WINDOW GRAPHICS
Barrier Films
Applied to Clear-Ad® or Hi-Stat®, the complete opacity of our barrier films allow the printing of two-way decals for interior and exterior viewing. Using barrier film avoids having to print many layers of ink on one film, which can cause the material to become extremely brittle if printing with UV inks.
 
Clear-Ad®
Widely used at most fast food restaurant chains throughout the country, Clear-Ad® is a clear, flexible vinyl with a specially formulated, low-tack removable adhesive for easy application and removability which leaves no residue.
 
Hi-Stat® Non Top Coated
A very soft, flexible static cling vinyl — in clear, white and various colors — which adheres to most clean, high polished smooth surfaces without adhesive. Some of the many uses of Hi-Stat include window advertising, point of purchase decals, seasonal decals, oil change labels, price stickers and vehicle advertising.
 
Hi-Stat® Top Coated
A very soft, flexible static cling vinyl — in clear, white and various colors — which adheres to most clean, high polished smooth surfaces without adhesive. Some of the many uses of Hi-Stat include window advertising, point of purchase decals, seasonal decals, oil change labels, price stickers and vehicle advertising.
 
Opaque Films
Intended for use in high quality interior/exterior marking or decal applications which require block out or opacity. i.e. bumper stickers, point of purchase decals, fleet markings and decals.
 
Perforated One-Way Vision Film
Ideal for fleet graphics, glass windows and many other applications requiring graphics on one side and a clear, unobstructed view through the other. It is among the thickest perforated film currently used in the industry with two different hole sizes — standard view and super view for interior and exterior viewing.
 
Sign-Ad®
A matte white, flexible vinyl with a specially formulated low-tack adhesive used for interior and exterior applications with no solvents required. Instead of flood coating clear film with white ink to make colors pop out, Sign-Ad® is the ideal alternative when printing signage.
