Our Versatility Saves You Headaches and Dollars: Data Graphics is one of the most versatile Mylar printers in the nation. If printing on Mylar is truly your best printing solution, we can either screen print or digitally print. Screen printed Mylar overlays, labels, tags and nameplates tend to have the most vibrant colors and can be most cost-effective on larger runs. Digitally printed Mylar overlays, labels, tags and nameplates can create photo quality images with color gradient, and tend to be most cost-effective on smaller runs. There is also the possibility that printing on Mylar is not the best possible solution, and that printing on another substrate, laser etching, digitally engraving, or metalphoto ® printing is a better option. This is especially true if your custom label needs to endure years of abuse, or exposure to the elements or harsh chemicals. Over the years, these other methodologies might prove significantly more cost-effective because the label or nameplate does not need to be replaced for decades. Our expert staff will be happy to provide you with the best Mylar printing solutions.

History of Printing on Mylar

Mylar printing is done on a substrate known as boPET polyester film. BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched poly-ethylene terephthalate. This versatile polyester material was developed in the 1950’s by DuPont, Imperial Chemical Industries and Hoechst, and also goes by the common trade names Melinex and Hostaphan. It burst into the public consciousness in 1964, when NASA launched Echo II, a high altitude boPET balloon 40 meters across. Since then, it has been employed in an amazing number of different applications because of its versatility, and because it can integrates so well with other compounds to create new materials.

Advantages of Printing on Mylar

• The reason most firms turn to printing on Mylar is because it provides a great combination of functional durability and versatility at a cost-effective rate.
• Printing on Mylar has been recognized by UL for indoor/outdoor use with occasional exposure to lubricating lubricants, cleaning solvents and some chemicals.
• The ink-receptive surface is compatible with most conventional and UV ink. Thus, when printing on Mylar, the primary concern is color match and choosing an ink that is appropriate to the use, such as fade-resistant UV inks. The decision is based on the application, and not the substrate, unlike some materials.
• We can screen print or digitally print Mylar labels, which means it is possible to include variable info, such as UID’s, barcodes, QR codes, and serialization.
• Printing on Mylar leaves you with a consistently smooth surface and a clean finish, regardless of printing methodology.
• A Mylar decal, tag, overlay, or labels is both flexible and maintains high tensile strength.
• Mylar labels are quite durable both chemically and dimensionally stable, especially for a plastic. They possess outstanding mechanical and dielectric strength.A Mylar decal has low water absorption capabilities and is a remarkably good electrical and heat insulator. In fact, it is such a good electrical and radiant heat insulator that metal laced Mylar is used in aerospace, thermal blankets, and even NASA space suits. A Mylar decal, label or overlay is able to withstand extreme heat fluctuations, as high as 302 degrees as cold as – 40 degrees.
• One of the advantages of printing on Mylar is that the substrate is compatible with a wide array of bonding agents and pressure sensitive adhesives. Permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds well to low- and high-surface energy plastics, metal, powder coated paint, paint, ceramic, paper/fiber, glass and fiberglass. Some adhesive offers moderate tack, peel and shear properties. Other adhesives offer high initial tack, high shear, and high ultimate bond to a wide variety of surfaces including low surface energy plastics and painted metal. A Mylar decal, overlay or label can have high performance characteristics in many different circumstances and on a wide range of surfaces.
