Awning Graphics
New Haven Awning excels in awning graphic design. We offer many different processes that can be used to apply our graphics, depending on the awning material. For backlit awnings, an Eradication process is used that involves reverse-masking of areas where graphics will be positioned. An eradication fluid removes the color from the fabric on those areas–allowing the eradicated letter and/or graphic to illuminate when backlit. For graphics on acrylic fabrics, NH Awning utilizes heat transfer to place vinyl graphics directly onto the fabric. Heat-transferred graphics are superior to painted-on graphics because they have much cleaner edges and sharper lines. Take a look below for explanations and typical applications of our graphic processes.
Heat Transfer Vinyl
Mainly used on awnings, canopies, and fabric banners where crisp graphics on non-backlit fabrics are needed, heat transfer vinyl graphics are available in any adhesive vinyl color. Computer-cut vinyl material is heat-bonded to the substrate. These graphics works well on woven acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella.
Adhesive Vinyl
Mainly used on backlit awnings, canopies and fabric banners where dark color graphics are required on a more lightly colored background, adhesive vinyl provides an economical alternative to the eradication process. Used on translucent vinyl fabrics by applying computer-cut translucent vinyl film directly to the fabric surface.
Eradicated Graphics
Mainly used on backlit awnings, canopies, and flexible sign faces where white graphics are used on a single color background. Translucent eradicable vinyl fabrics are used and the graphics created by chemically eradicating the color surface using a computer-cut stencil mask to reveal the white substrate.
Digitally Printed Graphics
This on is great for backlit awnings, canopies, and flexible sign faces where full-color graphics or photographic images are needed. These can be used on a wide variety of vinyl fabrics and are created by printing digital images directly to the fabric substrate. We also offer a clear laminate film for UV protection.
