Currently Trending Custom Hydrographic Films
Digital Film Vs Production Film
We currently have two options available for printing hydrographic film: production film and digital film. Digital film requires less print time (1-2 days) and a significantly lower order minimum (only 3 meters). This makes it more cost-effective, and perfect for short-run production and prototyping. Production film is our standard and preferred printing process. It is designed for high-volume decorating.
Production Film (High Volume)
- Takes 8-12 weeks to produce the film.
- Cylinder development costs are required up front and vary by pattern.
- The minimum order for new pattern development is 500 meters.
- The film is designed for high-volume decorating. No peelable backing.
Digital Film (Low Volume)
- Print time is 1-2 days.
- No cylinder development costs. Can be printed to any length. The cost is $30/meter.
- The minimum order is only 3 meters.
- Digital film is designed for low-volume decorating (approx. 50 meters or less). The film has a peelable backing.
