Rolling & Shipping Recommendations

• Allow a 2 to 4 hour wet-out period before rolling
• Roll single-side laminated graphics with laminate facing outward
• Use a minimum 3 to 5 inch core for graphics under 10 mil total thickness
• Use a 10 to 12 inch core for graphics 10 mil or greater
• For double-sided lamination, roll with the thicker laminate outward

Larger core diameters improve long term stability.

Durability

• Indoor: 3 to 5 years
• Outdoor Vertical Applications: 2 to 3 years

Graphic longevity depends on ink system quality, environmental exposure, and installation conditions.

---

Storage & Handling
