Panagraphics III Wide Width Flexible Substrate
Every project is diff erent. Some may be big and bold while others are small and subtle, but
no matter the scope, success depends on having the right products. As the sign industry
continues to evolve, 3M is introducing a product expansion that will help graphics manufacturers
tackle larger-than-life illuminated sign projects. Th at new off ering is 5-meter-wide
3M Panagraphics III Wide Width Flexible Substrate. While maintaining its superior quality
and unrivaled dependability, 3M Panagraphics III Wide Width Flexible Substrate is now
available in a fi ve-meter-wide selection (197 inches), joining the current portfolio of options
between 59-165 inches. Th is increased width fi lls a gap for large-scale signage and reduces
seaming, as it’s the ideal size for super-wide printers. Th e result is a more effi cient workfl ow,
improved productivity and a fi rst-rate visual fi nish for any sign face. Th e 5-meter-wide fl exible
substrate off ers multiple decoration options, including cut vinyl and direct print. It is also
backed by the 3M MCS Warranty, providing up to nine years of outdoor durability.
