Self-adhesive construction
Specify the planned adhesive, liner type and face finish. The assessment should consider how these components work together, including application, cutting and the presentation of the product your company delivers.

How to choose this material
Specify the film with the complete self-adhesive material in mind
Selection starts on your conversion line and ends with the customer's application. Gather the film, printing, adhesive and liner requirements to assess a coherent construction, with approval criteria defined before supply.
Printing and finishing
Describe the printing technology, inks and subsequent stages, such as cutting and lamination. Define a trial using the actual process components to assess appearance, drying and material behaviour during conversion.
Surface and conditions of use
Indicate where the self-adhesive material will be applied, its geometry and expected exposure. This information helps discuss the film and the necessary tests, without attributing the durability of the entire self-adhesive construction to the PVC alone.
Confirm colours and finishes in the sample book.
Material in context
The film that comes before
conversion.
PVC for those developing self-adhesive materials, labels and tags from the base material.
Labels and tags
Film for converters that produce labels and tags to identify products and packaging. Selection should consider print legibility and the surface where the label will be applied.
Visual communication
Raw material for sheets used in graphic applications. Specify the format, printing and place of use to discuss the configuration your company will convert.
Promotional materials
Brand identification and communication projects in which the converter defines the self-adhesive construction, including adhesive, liner and print finish.
Prepare for the technical discussion
To specify this range.
- What combination of printing, adhesive and liner will be used?
- On what surface and under what conditions will the final self-adhesive material be applied?
- What dimensions and estimated consumption does your conversion line require?
Include this information when speaking with the team.

Helpful answers
Before you
decide.
Does the film come with adhesive and liner?
No. Plastvinil supplies the monomeric PVC film. Adhesive coating and liner application are part of the conversion carried out by the self-adhesive manufacturer; these stages complete the construction for application.
How do I choose film for labels and tags?
Start with the object that will receive the label and the production process. Specify dimensions, desired finish, printing, adhesive and liner. With this information, the team can discuss the film configuration and evaluation criteria.
Is it compatible with any ink or printer?
Compatibility must be assessed with the combination of film, ink, equipment and finish used by the converter. Organise a representative trial before scaling up production, checking the visual result and behaviour at each planned stage.
How can I assess a sample in conversion?
Request a sample evaluation, specifying your process. The test should follow the relevant stages of the self-adhesive material: adhesive coating, printing, cutting and application to the target substrate. Record the configuration used and your company's approval criteria.
What should I send to get a film quote?
Send the intended width and thickness, estimated consumption, finish and conversion process. Include the end application and a reference, if available. Configuration, quantity and supply scheduling are agreed with the sales team based on these requirements.
