MHL Backmount 10mil 51" x 250' Low Temperature Paper Backer

MHL Backmount is an economical 10.0mil, bright white, paper-based backer/stiffener, coated with a low temp, heat-activated copolymer adhesive. For added protection, the back side (non-adhesive side) of Backmount is coated with a clear moisture barrier. As a backing / stiffening film for graphics, Backmount is engineered to add rigidity and durability, yet maintain enough flexibility to allow graphics to be rolled for transport. The true white adhesive surface will reduce "show through" while enhancing the look of the image. Backmount is ideal for applications such as POP displays, prototyping, aisle danglers and other indoor signage.

Backing films & Materials Overview and Tips

A quality image deserve the very best "support". With this in mind, there are a number of backing films and materials available on the market to help give your documents, prints, maps and signs the support and rigidity that they need and deserve. Choose from pressure sensitive Protac backing films, thermal MHL films and Heatset MediaShield backing films. We carry everything from heavy-duty materials for extra rigidity to specialty linen cloth backers.

When choosing a backing material, consider the following criteria:

Thickness: Determine the maximum total graphic thickness the display hardware or graphic holder can accept.
Rigidity: this attribute is determined not only by the thickness but also the type of base material. For example, a 10.0 mil polycarbonate will be more rigid than a 10.0 mil PVC (vinyl). This is especially important when graphics will be rolled for transport
Weight: This factor is related to the first two criteria, but is not the same. Some materials may be the correct thickness and stiffness, yet are not suitable because they are too heavy. Excess weight especially affects performance and stability of graphics on banner stands or pop-up booths.
Color: A backing material is usually visible only from the back of the graphic. However, black or white borders can be created by encapsulating an image with a specialized backing material and trimming it accordingly.
Adhesive: It is important to consider the type of adhesive component when choosing a backing material. For example: HeatSet (heat-activated) adhesives cure very quickly, enabling you to roll images immediately, while pressure sensitive adhesive have a longer curing time during which graphics should be stored flat. Also, some aqueous based adhesives may not be suitable for outdoor use.
Opacity: For graphics installed against a metal frame (pop up booth) choose higher opacity backing materials to eliminate show through.
