Avery Dennison® 500 Event Film Series
Avery Dennison® 500 Event Films are a highly versatile choice for many outdoor and indoor display applications – including directional signage, promotions, point-of sale, exhibitions and a wide range of other short-term needs.
These opaque, monomeric, calendered sign-cut films are available with a gloss or matt finish (upon special order). A water-based adhesive improves sustainability by avoiding pollution from solvents, which means that 500 Event Films are also especially suitable for indoor applications.
The Avery Dennison® 500 Event Film Series offers excellent cutting properties on a wide range of computerised sign making equipment, with easy weeding of the matrix after cutting. The films have been developed specifically for signcutting purposes, and are thermal transfer printable.
