The new addition to the VION range offers “an affordable, reliable vinyl designed for everyday print and display work”
William Smith has expanded its VION range with the launch of VP1, a monomeric vinyl developed specifically for short-term promotional applications. The new film broadens the portfolio further, giving printers and sign-makers a cost-effective option for projects where lifespan, budget and visual impact all play an important role.
VP1 is designed for one-year applications, making it well suited to point-of-display graphics, exhibitions, retail promotions and decals. By focusing on short-term performance, the film is offered at a significantly lower price point than polymeric alternatives, while still delivering reliable print quality and ease of use.
For busy print environments, consistency is key. VP1 delivers a clean, bright white surface that supports vibrant colour reproduction across a wide range of print technologies, including eco-solvent, solvent, UV and latex. The gloss finish helps graphics stand out in high-traffic settings, while the film is available with either a removable grey adhesive for clean removal at the end of a campaign, or a permanent adhesive where a longer-lasting bond is required.
The lay-flat polycoated liner has been designed with production in mind, supporting reliable liner release for contour cutting and decal work. Available in 1520mm and 1370mm roll widths, with a 50-metre roll length, VP1 is easy to integrate into existing workflows.
“VP1 is a great example of how the VION range continues to evolve around real customer needs,” said Lindsay Hutchinson, Head of Marketing at William Smith Group 1832. “We know there is strong demand for a dependable, short-term vinyl that delivers excellent print results without the cost of a polymeric film. VP1 does exactly that and gives our customers more flexibility when quoting and delivering promotional work.”
VP1 reinforces the VION promise of strong performance at excellent value, offering sign-makers and printers a practical solution for short-term projects where quality still counts.
