Graphic Overlays
Graphic overlays are front panel sheets that protect the graphic elements from wear and tear. They are the most durable form of non-metallic labels and are typically printed on the back side of a transparent or translucent substrate. The label’s structure protects the ink from abrasion and fade, offering top quality and cost-effectiveness.
