Duratrans (backlit film) is a semi-rigid, flexible and heavy duty material that is translucent and allows light to shine through from behind so that the printed design “lights up” when illuminated.  Graphics and text are printed directly on to the film with high quality UV resistant solvent inks.

We use the highest quality duratrans backlit film in the industry. Our 10 mil film is a durable opaque translucent film which is moisture, smear, scratch and fade resistant. Our 10 color eco-solvent high resolution print process delivers a vibrant photo quality print perfect for any indoor or outdoor backlit application.  We use the highest resolution printers with the widest color gamut in the industry.

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

  • opaque matte finish
  • 10 mil thickness (the heaviest weight available in film)
  • indoor & outdoor use
  • there is no adhesive on this version, it is held into place by your lightbox frame edges and/or slides between two glass or acryilc panels
