Printbase Textiles launched two 100% locally manufactured fabrics, both world-firsts in their categories, at the Sign Africa and FESPA Africa Expo, held from 9-11 September at the Gallagher Convention Centre.
Unicorn Double Side Coated Fabric
The fabric redefines versatility in UV printing. Marketed as a 5-in-1 fabric at 215gsm, it performs seamlessly as a backlit, frontlit, fabric frame, gazebo/parasol, and double-sided UV printable material.
Soft and supple, with just the right amount of stretch, this fabric is both durable and versatile, making it ideal for a wide range of indoor and outdoor signage applications. Featuring both mechanical and chemical diffusion properties, it has quickly become the go-to lightbox fabric.
Completely waterproof for outdoor use and available in 3.2, 2.6, and 1.6m widths, the Unicorn’s non-scratch surface ensures vibrant, long-lasting print quality and superior handling performance, even under demanding conditions.
UV Pro Seamless Textile Wallpaper
The 3.2m wide, 315gsm substrate is designed for floor-to-ceiling wall wraps with no joins, making installation simple and efficient. Its 100% non-scratch coating prevents UV ink delamination, while a grey back enhances opacity for flawless, professional installations.
With thousands of visitors at the expo walking over it, the print adhered and there was no scuffing or delamination whatsoever. Additionally, the fabric’s unique coating technology ensures colours appear exceptionally bright and rich, delivering visual results comparable to dye-sublimation printing.
Every metre of these premium fabrics is individually inspected to ensure fault-free quality, reflecting Printbase Textiles’ unwavering commitment to excellence. Both products are stocked in Johannesburg and Cape Town, ensuring fast and reliable supply to the South African market.
The event was sponsored by Stixo and Roland.
