Show off your brand
The global marketplace is teeming with businesses vying for
name recognition. To make their brands stand out, companies
from St. Paul to Shanghai turn to 3M fi lm and adhesive solutions
for on-premise signage and for bold graphic displays on planes,
trains, buses, trucks and ships.
Quality graphics, while critical to a company’s image, are not
without challenges for the workers applying them. Consider a large-
scale graphic designed to wrap around a bus or adhere to the
corrugated, riveted surface of a 53-foot-long semitrailer. Getting
the fi lm properly positioned and both bubble- and wrinkle-free
can make installation a super-sized headache – unless you use
3M™ Controltac™Graphic Film with Comply™ v2 Adhesive. This
proprietary fi lm features a pressure-activated adhesive, enabling
workers to slide and reposition it; non-visible air-release channels;
and a smooth, high-gloss appearance.
