Backlit Film Printing

Custom Backlit Film Poster Printing by AxiomPrint

Backlit film is a semi-translucent material used for catching and distributing light when lit from behind. This is very effective as it illuminates and makes the graphics deeper and makes the design visible both during nighttime and daytime. Designed for lightboxes, window displays, and illuminated signage, backlit film enhances your graphics with vibrant colors, sharp details, and a professional glow that captures attention in any setting.

Among the advantages of backlit films  there is the design of your displays, which can not be affected or damaged by artificial light or sunlight. What’s more, it will raise the visibility and intensity of your message and will attract more customers toward your brand. Most commonly used in lightbox applications, backlit film is a popular marketing resource. It makes colors pop and shine brighter than ever through a special printing technique which results in high-quality translucent finishes. Artificial light, as well as sunlight, will no longer pose a threat of poor reflection, but rather provoke a boost in the intensity and shocking value of your displayed designs. 

Whether it be a movie premiere, special promotions, emphasizing your new brand or logo, or simply using a new creative way to make your business shine, these backlit poster prints are one of the most unique tools on the market.
