New Co-Branded Products: MGX/Transilwrap Digital Plastics
Recently Masterpiece Graphix partnered with Transilwrap, a manufacturer of high-performance printable plastics and synthetics, to manufacture and distribute co-branded products to the digital printing market. This new relationship grants MGX customers access to new high-quality digital-ready materials from the Transilwrap catalog. These co-branded sheet and roll products will be available for HP Indigo, as well as other digital press technologies like the Kodak Nexpress and Xerox iGen. Masterpiece Graphix is in the process of receiving HP Indigo certification for many of these new substrates.
Here’s a partial list of some of the digital-ready products being offered through the MGX/Transilwrap partnership:
Clear Polyester
New to the MGX and Transilwrap digital catalog, clear polyester is a versatile plastic substrate that is ideal for graphics, packaging, electrical and industrial use. The substrate is durable, strong, and offers anti-curl characteristics. This material can be ordered as sheets or as rolls as a custom product.
Pro-Print®
A diverse synthetic paper, Pro-Print® is an environmentally-friendly white opaque sheet. The substrate is highly heat-resistant up to 350° F and is microwavable. A durable and versatile material, Pro-Print® can be folded, hot stamped, embossed, die cut, riveted, stapled, and sewn, lending itself to multiple end-use applications.
Styrene
Perfect for outdoor sign applications, styrene is a high-impact, economical substrate that is UV-resistant and durable. The material is completely recyclable and is suitable for displays, point-of-purchase, and other signage applications. Styrene sheets can be guillotine cut, die cut, or punched when finished. MGX stocks 15 mil and 24 mil white styrene in 12” x 18” sheets. Rolls up to 13” width are also available. Other colors, thicknesses and custom options are available by request.
PVC
A versatile, durable substrate, MGX PVC is optimized to print on both sides and is compatible with HP Indigo as well as the Xerox iGen and Kodak Nexpress. PVC is an ideal substrate for many applications, including retail signage and in-mold labeling. MGX PVC sheets are stocked as 10 mil, 15 mil, and 24 mil 12” x 18” sheets. Digital roll options, custom sizes and thicknesses are also available.
Other Options Coming Soon!
MGX is developing new technology for other exotic Transilwrap substrates. In the future, look for digital-ready holographic, eco-friendly and special-effect films as a result of MGX & Transilwrap’s new relationship. Eventually many of these co-branded products will be offered as HP Indigo-certified substrates. Do you have a Transilwrap product in mind that you would like to purchase for your digital press?
