What is Backlit Film And What Is It Made Of?

When displaying a graphic of any kind, whether it is textual or picture-based, companies or individuals strive for the best representation of their signage or display. Backlit film is a material upon which graphics or text can be imprinted so that when light shines through from behind, the design lights up. 

Backlit film is a material upon which graphics or text can be imprinted so that when light shines through from behind, the design lights up. This is an incredible choice for windows or backlit lightboxes as a simple poster may not be the best choice for every scenario and every advertisement on display. It can adhere to acrylic surfaces as well as glass and other surfaces easily. Customers can make the choice for themselves which side of the decal is adhesive, meaning that they can adhere to the outside face of a lightbox or the inside face of a window. This can be helpful in limiting wear and tear from outside surfaces. 

Many customers assume that the process is expensive and tedious for converting a design into signage that is able to function on windows or light boxes and that allows it to be seen at night as well as during the day. What they don’t know is that backlit film can be an incredibly cost-effective strategy for advertisement and an aesthetically pleasing design element for decorative signage.

A cheap backlit film can also be of high quality when it is made properly. The materials to create this type of signage are relatively inexpensive, the construction is uncomplicated, and it is not time-consuming. Our professionals here at Foam Core Print are able to save clients money while delivering a quality, satisfactory product.
