Cast Vinyl Wrap Printing

Cast Vinyl Wrap Printing for the trade. Top-of-the-range 10-year premium Metacast wrap vinyl by Metmark with meta-glide air release system, making this vinyl graphic solution easily repositionable and bubble-free.

Vehicle Wrapping Film is a product from the market-leading vinyl suppliers Metamark.

Made from a Soft Cast 50 micron film. When over-laminated with our matching 40 micron cast gloss laminate, the material doubles in strength but still keeps its suppleness and workability. This product is supported with a grey solvent acrylic adhesive which helps defuse dark background colours.

We also offer a lower cost wrap vinyl, a very good product for wraps with shallow recesses.

Cast manufacturing process

Cast vinyl printing differs from other printed vinyl. Cast vinyl is much more conformable to shapes and curves than calendared vinyl. The basic calendering process of cheaper vinyls sends the film through rollers where heat and pressure create the vinyl film. Once a calendared vinyl has been formed, the material wants to keep its original shape. The process of producing Cast vinyl is different from calendering and more and costly. High-performance Cast vinyl is manufactured on Casting lines. The high grade heated vinyl is sprayed onto large silicon sheets. The vinyl is then left to settle and form by itself without heat and pressure. The result is vinyl with little memory. The memory of the vinyl is then set once it’s been ‘super heated’ upon installation. Superheating or baking is a process carried out by wrap installers, heating the vinyl just below the point where it starts to blister. Cast vinyl, when correctly installed, shouldn’t move or ‘pop’ from deep recesses. Calendared vinyl will always pull away from recesses because the vinyl memory was set when it was manufactured.

Custom Printed wrap vinyl

We print our custom digitally printed wrap vinyl using the latest in large format printing technology. The maximum print width is 1320mm, with larger sections being supplied in panels with overlap.

Cast vinyl lamination

We gloss laminate our Cast vinyl as standard. Once printed, cast vinyl requires time to ‘gas out’ or ‘outgas’ as it is also known. Gassing out refers to the process of allowing solvent gasses to evaporate before lamination. Without outgassing, cast vinyl wraps can fail and weaken the adhesive side of the vinyl. When ordering printed cast vinyl, please allow four working days for delivery. Laminating ensures your prints keep looking bright and colourful for years to come. Laminating protects the print from fading and scratches to the solvent print surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Guarantee

Buying banners in confidence

Every BannerWorld order goes through several checks before it reaches production. Although most of our ordering system is automated, our team still checks each order manually before it is printed. If we spot a problem or have a question, we will contact you before manufacturing begins.

Our standard turnaround is 5 to 6 working days to delivery, and most products are also available on an express service. Some express products can also be produced on our super express service, with delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

How Your Order Is Processed

File checking is standard on every order, at no extra cost. We make sure your artwork matches what you have ordered, so you can order knowing mistakes will be caught early. If anything is unclear, we will get in touch before going any further.

Step 1: Initial Artwork Check

When your order arrives, we cross-reference your artwork against it. We check that the artwork sizes and file types match the order and that we have the correct number of files for the job. If anything looks wrong or a file is missing, we put the order on hold and contact you straight away.

Step 2: Order Processing

Once your order passes the initial check, we gather all the job details, including material type and finishing. This information is sent with your artwork to our pre-press department.

Step 3: Pre-Press and Second Check

Pre-press is the stage before printing. Here your artwork is converted into the correct format for our printers and finishing equipment. This gives us a second chance to catch any problems, and if we find one, we will contact you again.

Step 4: Printing and Tracking

Your job is batched with other items printed on the same material. Each item is given a unique code that tracks it through our factory and confirms the correct material, quantity and finishing at every stage. Your order then goes to print.

Step 5: Finishing

Every job is different, whether in size, material, shape or finishing, and each one is finished exactly as specified on your order. A banner with hems and eyelets is made in a different way to a flag with a pole pocket, so each finishing process is set up to suit the product. We automate as much of this as possible using our pre-press data, which keeps labour costs down and lets us pass the savings on to you.

Step 6: Packing

Finished items move to our packing department, where your order is collated and every item is checked off against it using the order code system. Your goods are then wrapped and packed ready for despatch.

Step 7: Delivery

Our logistics team arranges delivery of your order. Most orders are sent by next day courier, and large volume orders may go on a dedicated courier.
