A "Flex Face" (also known as a "skin") is a tensioned flexible PVC banner substrate that is stretched across a frame system like a drum is stretched. Often with minimal framing and excellent illumination.

When to con­sid­er flex face: 
If you have a project that has any 4 of the fol­low­ing 7 cir­cum­stances, flex face could be the right choice for your project.

• Short turn­around time. Fast to pro­duce for quick­er turn­around time. 

• Tricky instal­la­tion. Flex face is light­weight so there is more flex­i­bil­i­ty on loca­tions and install crew and equip­ment which low­ers instal­la­tion costs. 

• Future change­abil­i­ty. Eas­i­er to print a new graph­ics and install on site than acrylic or alu­minum would be.

• Illu­mi­na­tion. The entire face illu­mi­nates nice­ly for night­time visibility.

• Qual­i­ty look for the bud­get. Often looks no dif­fer­ent than a heav­ier, more high­ly engi­neered ($$) sign. But also looks much nicer than an acrylic faces

• Got­ta go big. Can go big­ger with PVC print­ing than you can with acrylic or com­pos­ite materials.

• War­ran­ty is impor­tant. Depend­ing on the cho­sen sub­strate the war­ran­ty can be 6+ years for this mate­r­i­al. In some cas­es, depend­ing on the graph­ic treat­ment, the war­ran­ty can be bet­ter than paint.
