The two new colours within the Grafityp range of
cast GrafiWrap AMD films are STx02 (satin black)

cover a vast range of different applications. It
accommodates applications ranging from vehicle

including brick and concrete blocks. The print
performance and stretchability of this PVC-free
material makes it a straightforward choice for
applications where looks really matter, and where
there are challenges arising from irregular curves.
