Commercial Window Films
Retailers, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial businesses are constantly searching for new and unique ways to reach potential buyers. One impactful, but often overlooked, method is through printable window graphics. Printable window films are an ideal way to promote a business or event in a way that sticks temporarily or longer term, both to windows, and in the consumer mind.
Learn more about which window film will work best in your clients’ applications and how Continental Grafix can help supply the solution.
1. Know Your Customer
Short-term window films work when there’s a need for flexibility, seasonality, or a temporary solution – think retail promotions, leased spaces, changing designs, or even seasonal spaces that need to be quickly adjusted. Our films are great for efficiently changing the look of a space or creating a functional adjustment without a long-term commitment. Best of all, these films are designed to be easily applied and removed, making each application a breeze whether you use a perforated or non-perforated solution.
Perforated films offer one-way vision from the inside out and are available in a variety of durability options to meet shorter to longer-term applications, for up to seven years in exterior spaces. In contrast, unperforated window film is the ideal solution for translucent, full-coverage, or double-sided graphics, offering a short- to medium-term application solution.
Our Favorite Long- and Short-Term Solutions
When choosing printable commercial window film for your project, consider durability, visibility, and longevity requirements of the space.
Short-Term Solutions
Traditional commercial films offer a permanent solution – think window tint, permanent decoration, and bird strike materials. This can be a benefit, including for eye-catching, printable, removable solutions for sales, events, or promotions. Continental Grafix can offer a wide array of window films ideal for application.
