CONVEX PRINTABLE MEDIA

CONVEX GearWrap is the vinyl for helmets and sport gear.

Finish: Gloss for thermal printers and inkjets.

Applications: CONVEX is designed for complex curves, and GearWrap adhesive is designed for high-energy surfaces such as helmets and painted metal surfaces. CONVEX GearWrap is cleanly removable for up to one year. GearWrap adhesive is ideal for the process of refurbishing or relabeling helmets because clean removal reduces labor.

Convex vinyl conformable media

CONVEX Lacrosse & Hockey for cold weather sports and application to plastics and helmets.

Finish: Glossy for thermal and ink jet printers

Applications: Thick and flexible, this vinyl sticks to plastics, even in cold environments.

Convex Vinyl media, laminates, MX decals

CONVEX High-Bond is the choice for high quality decals for motocross bikes and other vehicles with low energy plastic surfaces.

Finish: Gloss and Matte for thermal printers and ink jets.

Applications: This material is ideal for high-quality durable markings or decals on MX bikes, ATV’s, and golf carts, as well as ATMs, outdoor power equipment, and other interior and exterior markings.

OTHER PRINTABLE MEDIA

Convex Vinyl media, laminates, power sports decals

Motowrap: gives you excellent high-bond adhesion to plastics, and will stay on even in frigid weather.

Finish: Gloss for thermal printers and ink jets.

Applications: MotoWrap is great for Sleds and other machines that feel the cold. It conforms to the complex curves of MX bikes and ATV fenders. It is also compatible with MotoWrap, and Pro-Shield laminates. MotoWrap™ gives you the best mix of economy, adhesion and conformability to compete in the fast-paced decal market.

 

Pitbull™ is the vinyl with adhesive that won’t let go.

Finish: Gloss for thermal printers and ink jets.

Applications: Pitbull is ideal for LSE applications such as pelican cases and motorsport vehicles. It also works on coolers and other textured plastic surfaces. Due to the aggressiveness of the adhesive, wet application techniques may be preferred. Pitbull vinyl may not remove cleanly from surfaces so – on MX plastics – it may be advantageous to sell new plastic with the decals already installed.

PlaStick has extra-aggressive adhesive that will stay stuck no matter where you put it.

Finish: Glossy for thermal and ink jet printers

Applications: Use PlaStick for permanent adhesion to almost any smooth surface. For motosports and any other application where durability is a concern, PlaStick stays put.
