Material guide
Choose by how the piece needs to look, feel and function. Compare opacity, surface finish, rigidity and use, then check the options listed for the exact product you plan to order.
Think through four questions before selecting a product: Should the piece be opaque or let light through? Do you want a smooth, matte, coated or textured look? Should it stay flexible or hold a rigid shape? Where will it be used and how will it be displayed? These questions help narrow the catalog; the product page remains the source for available choices.
Business cards and other handouts where paper feel, surface and writable areas shape the experience.
Compare coated and uncoated choices, texture, finish, and whether people may write on the piece. The selected product lists its own stock and finishing options.
Large printed messages for events, storefronts and displays that use a flexible banner format.
Review the listed material weight, matte finish, size, and finishing selections such as hems, grommets or pole pockets in the product configurator.
Printed graphics supplied as adhesive pieces, from individual shaped stickers to larger adhesive graphics.
Check the specific product's listed material, opacity, finish, cut style and intended surface. Options differ between sticker products and adhesive graphics.
Window graphics where transparent areas may be part of the design.
The catalog lists clear gloss and clear matte options with white ink. Decide which artwork areas should print white or remain clear, and confirm the required viewing and adhesive side for the window.
Rigid sign formats where a clear or frosted acrylic appearance is part of the presentation.
Compare the acrylic product's available construction, size and display choices with the space and mounting plan. Product configurations define the current options.
Lightweight rigid boards for presentations, displays and short-term sign use.
Check listed board thickness, color, print sides, shape and planned support. Confirm exposure conditions and mounting needs for the particular application.
Printed boxes where the structure and the printed panels work together.
Compare corrugated mailer board with folding carton stocks, then confirm the product's box style, print sides and approved dieline. Listed size fields may not specify interior dimensions.
Printed table covers and fabric graphics where a flexible textile face is wanted.
Check the matching product for its fabric format, display hardware, size and finishing. Fabric products are not interchangeable across display systems.
