What s the difference between Cast and Calendered vinyl?
Cast and calendared refers to the two different production methods for vinyl films. Cast vinyl film is considered to be the premium material and benefits from better dimensional stability, thinner film thicknesses, and better conformability. Cast vinyl film can also be expected to have a longer service life in outdoor applications with better colour retention and durability. Calendared vinyl films are generally thicker making them easier to handle and due to the high volume nature of their production process a cost effective alternative to premium priced cast films.
