The New Black

A new way to print on black PVC

The solid bright white surface of SINTRA ECLIPSE allows for superior printing capabilities with black SINTRA, saving time and costs by eliminating the need for laminating or flood coating prior to printing. It retains all of the premium qualities that SINTRA provides including rigidity and durability, light weight, superior dent and scratch resistance, and easy fabrication.
