Motorcycle graphics are about more than just a great looking design. The vinyl material you use should also work well on curved surfaces, apply with confidence, and be suitable for printing and installation. For print shops, distributors, and motorcycle customization businesses looking for a professional grade material supplier, here's how Great K2 can help.
Motorcycle (Moto) Vinyl Made by Great K2
Great K2 manufactures moto vinyl for use on motorcycles, including graphics, stickers, decals, and wrap projects. With adhesive technology, printable film construction, and large-format manufacturing capabilities, Great K2 has material solutions that customers can count on for dependable motorcycle vinyl.
How Great K2 Manufactures Moto Vinyl
Motorscycle surfaces are difficult in comparison to flat indoor graphics. Fairings, fuel tanks, fenders, side panels, and other body parts may have curves, bumps, and angles.
This means that moto vinyl should allow for flexibility during installation without sacrificing adhesive strength. Material that is too difficult to apply can increase production time. On the other hand, not enough adhesive can create edge lifting or problems on high-contact surfaces.
Great K2 designs adhesive vinyl with these considerations in mind. Our goal is to produce a material that performs well during printing, cutting, and application.
High-Tack Adhesive for Moto Vinyl
The ability to adhere to surfaces is one of the most critical characteristics of moto vinyl. Motorcycle graphics can see frequent handling, outdoor elements, and high-contact surfaces. Areas like motocross fuel tanks may even see abrasion while riding.
Great K2 offers high-tack adhesive options for customers who need strong bonding strength. Great K2's high-tack motorcycle vinyl provides adhesive forces greater than 25N for graphics on appropriate surfaces.
Bond strength is just one factor in successful application. Surface prep is also important for best results. Make sure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of grease, wax, dust, and other contaminants.
Flexible Material for Curves and Corners
A motorcycle doesn't have many flat body panels. Graphics will need to stretch around corners, angles, and other three-dimensional shapes.
The moto vinyl from Great K2 is designed with stretchability in mind. It can handle curves without wrinkling or lifting when installed correctly.
Low shrinkage is another desirable trait of moto vinyl. When installing graphics on a motorcycle, you want the finished product to look as close to your original design as possible. Low shrinkage rates can help ensure a stable graphic over time.
Although Great K2's material is flexible, some tougher curves may still require professional installation methods and the application of heat.
Printable Moto Vinyl and Custom Designs
Great K2's moto vinyl is ideal for customers who want more than generic printed colors. With printable vinyl, your business can print custom artwork like logos, racing numbers, unique branding, patterns, illustrations, or full color graphics.
Great K2's printable motorcycle vinyl works with many types of digital printing systems. Eco-solvent, UV, and HP Latex printing technology are all compatible with Great K2's material.
Once printed, the graphic can be cut to match the design.
Glossy or Matte Finishes
A motorcycle graphic's look can be affected by the surface itself.
Great K2 offers moto vinyl with a glossy white finish and a matte white finish. Glossy prints have vibrant colors and a defined graphic appearance. Matte surfaces have less shine and work well with designs that require a more subtle look.
Providing customers with two surface options allows them to choose the best material to match their design, motorcycle style, and finished appearance.
Extra Wide Material for Motorcycle Projects
Commercial customers may have need for small decals as well as large panels for wrapping motorcycles.
Great K2 has extra wide moto vinyl available in widths up to 1.52 meters. Wider materials are ideal for large-format graphics and can help minimize seams.
Being able to print wider can also increase material utilization rates for printing businesses.
Formulated for Printing and Cutting
When you are searching for printable moto vinyl, it helps to know that the material will work with your existing production process.
Great K2 designs materials that can handle printing, cutting, handling, and application. Not only is the printable surface compatible with most large-format printing systems, but the film can also be cut to shape after printing.
Great K2's moto vinyl can be used for small custom orders or large production runs needed by customization businesses and resellers.
Always run a sample with your specific printer, ink set, substrate, and installation process before starting a large production run.
