Protective Overlay Film for Long-Lasting Traffic Signage
When it comes to traffic sign durability and clarity, using the right protective overlay film is essential. A premium clear overlay film ensures that your signage remains legible under the harshest environmental conditions. Whether it’s resisting graffito, shedding dew, or guarding against UV damage, these films play a crucial role in preserving the integrity of your road signs.
UV and Graffito Protection
UV protection is vital for outdoor signage, particularly on high-traffic highways and community roads. Without it, signs can fade and lose visibility. Reflective coatings with a protective overlay significantly enhance resistance to UV light and graffito. Our Avery Dennison OL-1200 and OL-1000 series are engineered to block sunlight and repel marker ink, making clean-up easier and ensuring your signs look professional for longer. The anti-graffiti surface lets you clean off spray paint and stickers without damaging the overlay film or the print underneath.
Anti-Dew and Hydrophilic Technology
One of the leading issues with outdoor signage is the accumulation of dew, which can reduce visibility in the early morning or late at night. Our anti-dew films feature hydrophilic coatings that prevent water droplets from forming and disrupting legibility. This ensures the surface of your traffic sign stays clear, even in moist environments or fluctuating temperature conditions. Signs remain effective during all weather conditions and continue to guide drivers with reliable, crisp information.
Durability and Enhanced Visibility
Choose Avery Dennison OL-1200 or OL-1000 for a premium, durable solution to extend the life of your signage. These transparent overlays are perfect for use with reflective traffic sign materials and work well with TrafficJet printing systems. From snow emergency route signs to event parking signs, our protective overlay film options help maintain sharp, clean visibility. Each protective layer adds value to your investment, helping enhance sign performance and remain legible longer in the field.
Engineered for Demanding Environments
With a commitment to quality and durability, protective overlay films are more than just a coating—they are a critical layer that ensures signage withstands vandalism, weather, and time. Built for high-performance, these protective films are the preferred choice for municipalities, construction zones, and transportation authorities looking for reliable signage solutions that endure. Use them with confidence in any application where clean, clear, and compliant traffic sign visibility is non-negotiable.
