Stickers without adhesive: adhesive film
Adhesive film allows you to apply and remove promotional graphics from smooth surfaces as often as you like. An overview of all the benefits.
Which shopkeeper hasn’t been there? Spring is over, and the shop window display needs a revamp. It’s particularly frustrating when a window graphic has been put up specifically for the new season, only to find that once it’s removed, it’s unusable and ends up in the bin. But it doesn’t have to be that way! With self-adhesive film that doesn’t require glue, you can swap seasonal designs as often as you like and easily reapply them when they’re relevant again.
What is adhesive film?
Adhesive films are designed to adhere to the surface to which they are applied by means of static charge, thereby eliminating the need for glue. For this reason, they can be removed very quickly and easily without leaving any residue, and can be reused as often as you like. However, it is important to note that adhesion depends largely on the nature of the surface and has proven most effective on smooth surfaces. For this reason, adhesive films are mainly used on glass, tiles and metals – even the thin protective film on your smartphone’s screen is nothing other than an adhesive film! In the YOW! online shop, you’ll find transparent adhesive film from the Ritrama brand, which not only looks great as protection for your mobile phone but is also ideal for advertising on glass surfaces or as decoration for your shop window. You can have it printed with your chosen design using the screen-printing process. Of course, lettering using self-adhesive plotter film is also possible.
What needs to be borne in mind when fitting it?
When applying the film, you should first ensure that the surface to which it is to be applied is clean and dry, as any dirt will reduce its adhesion. The film itself must also be completely free of dust. If it does become soiled – for example, after repeated use – you can easily clean it with a little soapy water. Afterwards, the product will be as good as new! Avoid creasing it, as this can cause unsightly air bubbles to form. If looked after properly, it can theoretically be used indefinitely. For this reason, when not in use, it is best to store it in its shipping sleeve with the backing film to prevent creasing and soiling.
Be smart and save money on your promotional materials with adhesive film – transparent, self-adhesive and a real eye-catcher year after year!
