Vycom's Celtec Proves Medium is the Message for International Sign Expo Promotional Materials

SCRANTON, Pa., May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- What better way to promote a highly printable, expanded PVC material to signage professionals than to create a mini sign on that very material highlighting a brilliantly colored peacock.  That is how Vycom reached attendees at the International Sign Expo 2015 held last month in Las Vegas.  The idea was to create something that showed the vivid color printing and die-cutting capability of Celtec, an expanded PVC signage material.  The peacock is known as one of the most colorful creatures on the planet, and is often a metaphor for bright, brilliant color.

"Our goal for the Sign Expo job was to deliver vivid color definition, eye-appeal and impact for the ISA Trade Show promotional piece," said Jim Billetter, Orange County Industrial Plastics (OCIP) based in Anaheim.  The company is a recognized leader in the Plastic Distribution and Fabrication Industry, which includes digital printing of retail signage and panels. "We were supplied with the artwork files and printed the peacock on a digital flatbed Arizona 360 printer and then had Aggressive Dies & Cutting do the premium die-cuts, said Billetter.  "It turned out great.  This really opened some eyes about the possibilities of Celtec."

"The Celtec expanded PVC worked great for this job—there was no need to heat it up and it cut very cleanly," said Cory Harrison, co-owner, Aggressive Dies & Cutting of Anaheim, CA.  "The material was flexible and the die cut edge rolled really well."

"We had the vivid peacock image printed on 3mm white Celtec expanded PVC, which sign professionals like for its high gloss and resistance to UV rays.  It was the perfect way to show sign professionals what brilliant color quality and clean cuts Celtec could deliver," said Ron Harker, Harker sales, which provides Celtec to the Western U.S.
