Seal Graphics UK has released a new low-cost anti-graffiti film in order to help printers and print finishers combat the effects of the recession.

The Basildon, Essex-based supplier, blamed the low take-up of anti-graffiti films on "perceived price" rather than their suitability in applications.

PrintShield Pro Gloss Anti-Graffitti is a solvent-based, pressure-sensitive laminate for use with a wide range of digital media.

Seal Graphics UK said that the laminate was ideal for outdoor applications, including those using rigid PVC or aluminium composite panels.

"In addition to providing excellent protection against UV exposure, this tough film also resists degradation by cleaners and chemicals commonly used to remove vandalism caused by marker pens and even aerosols," said a spokesman.

The company claimed that the film provides an excellent bond when used with UV directly printable panels and offers a life expectancy of around 24 months.
