Arlon announces the release of a new economical 5-yard roll package for Series 2100, cast film in 15” punched and 24” unpunched widths.

According to Arlon’s research, signs and banners are often restricted to those ‘fast mover’ colors or digital printing with a trade-off in creativity or in warranty life. To meet this trend head on, Arlon will offer these short rolls in 83 colors at the same sq.-ft. price as larger rolls.
