What type of wrapping vinyl is best ?

There are many types of vinyl wraps. And many vinyl brands.

To decide which type of vinyl wrapping is best for you, there are several choices to be made.

Categories

There are two different categories of wrap films: calendared and cast

Calendared vinyl is thicker than cast and usually contains a direct tack which is more difficult to re-position.

Cast vinyl is highly conformable and easily re-positionable.
