pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) to a graphic at
the same time. This is commonly referred as a decal
and it makes a sticker out of the graphic. After this
process is completed, the graphic can be mounted
to whatever substrate based on the application and
the type of mount adhesive used.
Examples include POP and window signage,
countertop graphics, and refrigeration unit signage.

only one piece of tape to allow the film to shift

• When webbing the top laminate, make sure
the edges of the laminate line up from the
unwind to the laminate roller to ensure the
materials feed straight.
