Adhesive Backlit Film

$10.00 sq.ft.

(11 customer reviews)

This is an adhesive version of our popular opaque matte backlit film with an adhesive and liner for applying to glass, plexi-glass or similar surfaces.

We use the highest quality backlit film in the industry. Our adhesive backlit is the Avery Dennison MPI 2050 matte translucent film.  Avery’s MPI 2050 Matte Translucent is the answer for self-adhesive, illuminated signage with great image quality. MPI 2050 is a premium calendered film with a permanent adhesive that features superior stability, long-term durability and excellent shrink resistance, even with heavy ink loads.

Better than duratrans, our backlit film is a durable translucent and opaque film which is moisture, smear, scratch and fade resistant. Our 8 color eco-solvent high resolution print process delivers a vibrant photo quality print perfect for any indoor or outdoor backlit application.

Combining our ink process with only the highest quality film results in prints that last 20 times longer than others and that remain bright and vivid by withstanding UV sunlight for years.

Professional installation is always recommended with adhesive products.

  • opaque matte finish with adhesive backing
  • 10 mil thickness (standard), 8 mil thickness (adhesive)
  • indoor & outdoor use
  • backlit film is also known as “duratrans”

Remember that backlit film will print and appear darker than your original image when you receive it and before illuminating it. This is necessary so that when lit from behind, the image is vivid and not ‘washed out’.  Like it’s name implies, backlit film is meant to be backlit and looks best when placed in backlit applications (light boxes, menu boards, lit frames, bright windows, etc.)

    Low Quality

    The materials and adhesive are very low quality compared to what’s on the market. Should have educated myself a bit before purchase. When telling their customer service, I get told I’m ‘the problem with this generation’. Mind you, I’m a 40 year old journeyman plumber who both provides and expects quality in any line of work. I have to imagine most of these reviews are fake, my local print shop laughed at what they sent me. Take your hard earned money to a company that appreciates it.

      Hi Jaret! We’d like to address the points in your review. (a) our reviews are clearly not fake, as every review is automatically published by verified customers only (like yours now), and we take the time to respond to any unsatisfactory reviews. (b) the media and material you received on this order (as described above) is Avery Dennison’s MPI 2050 (a link to its description is available above). This media is recognized in the industry as the highest quality adhesive backlit film available and is what is requested by all major sign houses and installers, so no, it is not cheap or low quality. (c) what occurred with your installation is that you were not familiar with how to install or apply adhesive backlit media (you ripped the entire liner off at once before applying, which of course makes it a sticky mess) despite our site explaining that professional installation (or at least following provided videos) is recommended and finally (d) in your aggressive comments to customer service, you demanded refunds and repercussions of negative reviews if your demands for refunds and a replacement were not met even though we provided exactly what you ordered and cannot be blamed when the installation is done poorly. Despite all of this, we are still happy to respond to your negative review and point out below the hundred of positive reviews from customers that love this product and know how to install it. Thanks Jaret!

    Great job

    Wonderful color density. The translucent prints look great backlit or front. Trimming was more exact than I expected. I ordered oversized to do final trimming here, but next time I’ll just order exact size.

    The Title says it all. The backlit film came out exactly as I expected. Amazing quality at more than a fair price and it arrived really fast. I could not ask for more than that.

    Was searching for clear adhesive film and this is what popped up. It is not that. Was informed by customer service bluntly that the description of the product is accurate and I got what I ordered. Certainly not clear!…however…It’s not translucent(as the description states)…it’s opaque. I won’t be ordering again.

      Hi Shawn,

      So sorry that you didn’t read the description of the media before you ordered it, and also not sure where you would have been led to believe it’s clear. As stated in your review, you are 100% right, backlit film IS white, as it is also described this way on our site with sample pictures so that you’ll know what you’re getting before ordering.

      We do have a ‘clear transparency film’ but that isn’t what you ordered. You ordered adhesive backlit film, and it is opaque and translucent (as described on it’s media page on our site). It’s never listed as clear. Make sure you’ve removed the adhesive back liner for the light to show through, and when you do, you’ll see it fits the very definition of translucent, which means “light will shine through.” Thank you!

    My backlit film prints are perfect. the ordering process was intuitive and helped me optimize the size of the print based on the jpg file size. I was glad PosterPrintShop invested in the website so I could create my print effortlessly. After I made the order, I have received notifications on every step of the process. I am very happy with the print quality and even happier with the per and post order support. PosterPrintShop is setting the standard in how to be a web based business!
