Traditional Printing

A wide range of polyester film suitable to help all printing requirements

Traditional Printing

Polyester film gives superior print quality compared to other plastic substrates and paper. HIFI Polyester Film supply polyester film in bright white, crystal clear or mirror finish varieties. These are the perfect media for creating eye-catching posters, calendars, shelf strips or point of sale displays.

Our PET films can be printed using traditional methods such as screen printing, offset, flexo and litho printing.

HIFI Polyester Film offers a choice of printable polyester films from 36 to 330 microns in bespoke sheet sizes which can be interleaved with either tissue or poster paper if required. We also have facilities to edge-glue poster paper to the sheets to allow improved sheet feeding through printing presses.
