Profile with strong signal effect thanks to foil coating.

While some profiles appear inconspicuous and perform their service reliably, warning and protection profiles should be clear and immediately noticeable. A machine manufacturer needed such a profile for warning signage. The foil coating system from mobil Kunststoffprofile provided the perfect solution for finishing and functional integration.

The challenge

The customer defines the requirements as follows: the foil must form a good and reliable bond to the profile. It was important to reproduce the specified colours (black RAL 9005, signal yellow RAL 1003) and shapes exactly.

The joint solution

mobil Kunststoffprofile used a transparent foil that was digitally printed with the desired pattern and an integrated customer logo. There are virtually no limits to colours and shapes, as long as the profile dimensions of 10–300mm in width and 5–140mm in height are adhered to. The result impressed the client so much that another project is already underway.

Customer benefits

Reliable weather protection
Laminated foils effectively protect the print and/or lettering from external influences; they prevent the ink from “flaking”.

Uniform look
The foil ensures that the gloss and the overall look of the profile are even.

Preventing plagiarism
The foil helps to prevent plagiarism because the paint and the customer’s logo cannot be removed.
