Indoor Outdoor Signage with General Data Coated Products

Posted On
Business Unit

Indoor and outdoor signage applications demand materials that balance visual impact with long-term performance. From short-term promotional graphics to multi-year exterior signage, General Data’s Coated Products Division offers wide-format pressure-sensitive solutions engineered to perform reliably across a wide range of environments.

By combining high-performance films with optically clear UV acrylic adhesives, General Data delivers signage materials designed for durability, print compatibility, and consistent application—indoors and out.   

Engineered for Indoor and Outdoor Environments

General Data’s wide-format signage materials are available in vinyl, polyester, and polypropylene constructions, allowing converters and printers to select the right facestock for each application. When paired with UV acrylic adhesives, these pressure-sensitive laminates provide excellent adhesion, plasticizer resistance, and long-term clarity.

Depending on construction, materials offer up to five years of outdoor durability and resistance to UV sunlight fading, yellowing, moisture, and solvents. Both permanent and removable UV acrylic adhesive options are available to support long-term installations as well as temporary signage that requires clean removal.

Available film finishes include white and clear options in gloss, matte, semi-gloss, and satin—giving designers and printers flexibility without sacrificing performance.

Print Compatibility Across Platforms

Print compatibility is tailored to specific platforms, supporting common wide-format printing technologies including solvent, eco-solvent, latex, UV inkjet, screen, flexographic, thermal transfer, and laser printing. Select constructions also feature print-receptive topcoatings to ensure consistent ink adhesion and image quality across demanding production environments.

This flexibility allows signage producers to standardize materials while still accommodating diverse print workflows.

General Data’s indoor and outdoor signage materials are commonly used in applications such as:

  • Exterior signage
  • Floor decals
  • Indoor banners
  • Retail point of purchase displays
  • Sidewalk a-frame signage
  • Indoor product launch signage
