Perforated Window Vinyl

Window Perf Pealed back to show adhesive side.

Over the weekend I decided to put together a post covering Perforated Window Vinyl also called Window Perf.  The main purpose of perforated window vinyl is to display a graphic on a window and allow visibility from inside the building or vehicle.  Window perf is a printable vinyl that has holes to allow light through.  The holes determine print quality.  On a 50/50 window perf you have 50 percent graphic coverage and 50 percent holes.  With 70/30 you can get a little better print quality because the graphic is covering more of the surface.  I would like to point out 50/50 is easier to see through.  In automotive use you might want to see a little better.

Perforated Window Vinyl can be used in many different applications.  It can cover store front windows and vehicle windows with an advertisement or other graphic. Perforated Window Vinyl is a good choice for vehicle wraps when you want to carry design elements larger.  Other uses for Perforated Window Vinyl can be wrapping tail lights on a camo wrapped truck.  The idea here is to print the camo pattern on perf and then wrap the tail light.  The red light will show through the holes when the lights are on.

Window Perf Print Side

Just about any graphic or photograph can be printed on Perforated Window Vinyl.  Keep in mind when printing large format the image quality and size does matter.  When printing on perf you can get away with a lower quality images because all of the little holes will take away from the print quality a little.

If you have a custom Perforated Window Vinyl project that you would like to discuss please feel free to contact me.

You can see in the pictures the adhesive side of the vinyl is dark and the print side is white.  The back side is dark so the light coming through will be brighter than the vinyl allowing you to see through the perf.
