There’s A Reason We Call It “Easy”
Easy Color® is a transparent overlaminating body colored film that can be applied to a spectrum of surfaces—including itself and other films—to achieve any color and finish effect you desire for packaging, signage, and displays. Lay our transparent Easy Color® over a metalized finish to realistically simulate the look of colored metal. Or, we can combine Easy Color® with an opaque white adhesive to achieve a bright color. Our most versatile film, Easy Color® offers endless possibilities to develop a stunning concept that will be unique to your product.
This product is manufactured from durable, eco-friendly, phthalate-free PVC resins. Rigid PVC films are resistant to strong acids, alkalis, most oils, fats and alcohols. This material retains ink without smudging and lends itself to various printing types such as hot stamping, screen printing, thermal transfer, digital, offset, flexographic, latex and UV curable ink. While this material is most popular for automotive decals, its pattern makes for eye-catching Point of Purchase (PoP) displays.
Easy Color® with white adhesive is available in Flo Orange, Flo Green, Flo Pink, Flo Yellow and all standard colors. Easy Color® with transparent adhesive is available in all of our standard body colors. However, the colors, widths and thicknesses can be customized to suit your needs.
All of Griff’s decorative films are available in an outdoor durable version with a life span of up to 3 to 5 years depending on application. Griff’s Fluorescent colors should be used for short-term exterior application of 6 months or less. Exceptionally harsh UV and wet conditions can shorten exterior life.

- Applying Vinyl Film:
-
- Optimal temperature for the application of our films is 70 degrees F.
- Pressure sensitive vinyls may resist sticking immediately to very cold surfaces.
- Do not apply wet. The warranty is voided for wet applications.
- Apply only to clean smooth non–porous surfaces.
Preventing Edge Curl:
-
- Cut a l” border around images printed with solvent or ecosolvent.
- Edge sealing is recommended – using a fine–tip brush paint the edges of the film with a commercial grade product.
Durability:
-
- Outdoor durability will vary depending on finishing and exterior conditions. Use of a UV protective clear coat or over laminate film will extend the outdoor durability. Current rating is up to 5 years pending on environment.
Plotter Cutting:
-
- Use a sharp 45 degree blade at slow cutting speeds with swivel type of cutters. Optimal cutting pressures vary depending on plotter type and blade sharpness. Typical pressure is between 135 grams and 165 grams. Never cut into the printed image.
Printing:
-
- Water based inks will not adhere properly. Use only UV inks. Use lower temperatures
- High printer temperature settings can cause the film to expand and contract resulting in tunneling on the release liner. Heavy concentrations of ink, especially ecosolvent inks, will contribute to shrinking and edge curl.

For maximum adhesive performance Griff Decorative Films recommends application of product (shelf-life) within two years of manufacturing; however time spans in excess of three years have been reported with no noticeable decay in adhesion properties.
If Griff’s adhesive is to be removed the following solutions are suggested: d-limonene, Xylene (Xylol) and denatured alcohol.
Caution: Test above solutions on a small unnoticeable portion of the surface to be sure there are no detrimental effects.
