Perforated Vinyl - See Through Window Graphics

2023.04.19
Perforated vinyl is a unique type of window film that is used in many different ways. It is a versatile way to add branding and graphics to the front of your vehicle. It also is a great way to create a unique look for your office building or storefront. It is one of the more popular vinyl decals that we offer here at Sign Shop.
Perforated Vinyl is a See Through Window Graphic that allows the light to pass through but blocks people from seeing outside the window. This makes it perfect for retail spaces, office buildings, and even cars. It is also great for displaying advertising that requires a lot of room.
This material is ideal for small-format window graphics that require fine detail and text, and a higher image resolution than standard PVC vinyl. The 65/35 perforation pattern provides a greater surface area for printing, making it a good choice for small-format signage applications.
If you're looking to design a perforated vinyl sign, it's important to know how the material works. The outer side of a perforated vinyl is usually light colored, which means that when the sign is seen from the outside, the eye naturally focuses on the brightly-colored surface and the holes rather than on the darkness behind it.
When the sign is viewed from inside, however, it is dark on the inner side because the eye naturally focuses through the perforated vinyl toward the light and motion outside of the window. It's a unique feature of the one-way vinyl sign that can be very useful for people who are using it to advertise in a store or home, as well as on automobiles.
The key to designing a one-way vinyl sign is to make sure that your design is large, bold, and bright. This means that you should avoid large areas of black, blue, purple or dark brown in your design, and instead use whites, pastels, red, yellow, orange or light blues for the majority of your design.
You should also consider what kind of lighting is coming into your space when you are choosing a color for your perforated vinyl. Because the surface of the perforated vinyl is a bit darker than the space on the other side, it's best to choose a light or neutral color that will reflect the light from both sides of your sign.
Another option for a one-way vinyl sign is to choose a holographic material, which has a special glossy finish on the surface that allows it to be viewed from both sides of your window. This holographic vinyl is also suitable for outdoor signage and can be applied to glass windows.
Unlike other see through vinyl, this product is laminated to protect it from rain, sun and other elements. It can last up to 3+ years and is a great option for outdoor applications.
This is also a good option for commercial vehicles that need large graphics on the rear or sides of their vehicle. Because it is perforated, the graphic can be printed larger and will allow for branding to be displayed on the back of the car without blocking the view from the driver or passengers.
