What is the difference between frontlit and backlit flex?
Frontlit flex is opaque and designed to be viewed with front lighting (sunlight or spotlights). Backlit flex is translucent and designed for lightboxes where light shines from behind the print.
Which flex is best for outdoor hoardings?
For long-term outdoor hoardings, we recommend high-GSM frontlit flex or star flex. For illuminated boards, backlit flex is ideal.
How long does flex printing last outdoors?
Standard flex prints last 6-12 months outdoors. Premium star flex and high-GSM options can last 12-18 months with proper installation.
What is the maximum size for flex printing?
We can print flex banners up to 10 feet in width, with virtually unlimited length. For larger displays, panels are joined seamlessly.
What is black-back flex used for?
Black-back flex has an opaque black layer that prevents light from passing through. It is used when you need a single-sided print without any show-through, especially in brightly lit environments.
What is the price of flex banner printing per square foot?
Flex banner printing in India costs ₹6-28 per square foot depending on material GSM (280-550), printing method (eco-solvent: ₹8-12, latex: ₹12-18, UV: ₹18-28), and finishing. Standard shop boards on 340 GSM flex with eco-solvent printing cost ₹10-14/sq ft. Backlit glow sign flex costs ₹14-25/sq ft. Bulk orders of 500+ sq ft get 15-25% discounts.
What is the difference between frontlit and backlit flex?
Frontlit flex is opaque white -designed for viewing under ambient or external light (shop boards, banners, hoardings). Backlit flex is translucent -designed for illumination from behind (glow sign boards, lightboxes, cinema displays). Backlit flex costs 30-50% more than frontlit but creates stunning illuminated signage. For glow sign boards, always use backlit flex.
How long do flex banners last outdoors?
Flex banner durability depends on material quality, printing method, and environmental conditions. Economy 280 GSM flex lasts 3-6 months. Standard 340-440 GSM with eco-solvent ink lasts 1-3 years. Premium 510+ GSM star flex with UV inks lasts 3-5 years. In harsh conditions (direct sunlight, coastal areas, industrial pollution), expect 30-50% shorter life.
What is a glow sign board and how much does it cost?
A glow sign board is an illuminated signboard using backlit flex stretched over a metal frame with LED lighting inside. It provides 24/7 visibility for businesses. Costs: 4×2 ft from ₹2,500, 6×3 ft from ₹4,000, 8×3 ft from ₹5,500, 10×4 ft from ₹8,000, 12×4 ft from ₹10,000 -all including frame, LED, flex printing, and basic installation.
What file format do you need for flex printing?
We accept AI (preferred), PDF, CDR, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG/PNG. For flex banners, provide designs at actual print size with minimum 150 DPI resolution (300 DPI for banners viewed from close range). Include 1-inch bleed beyond trim area. Convert all fonts to outlines/curves. CMYK color mode preferred.
Can you print flex banners same day?
Yes, PrintsWallah offers same-day flex banner printing for orders placed before 12 PM. Express production starts immediately with 4-8 hour turnaround depending on size and quantity. Same-day service is available for banners up to 200 sq ft. Larger orders may require 24-48 hours. Express surcharge of ₹2-5/sq ft applies for same-day service.
What is star flex material?
Star flex is a premium-grade flex banner material with enhanced PVC coating, higher thread count woven polyester base, and superior surface smoothness. It offers better ink absorption, sharper image reproduction, and longer outdoor durability compared to standard flex. Star flex is available in 440-550 GSM and is recommended for premium signage, high-resolution graphics, and long-term outdoor installations.
Do you provide flex banner installation service?
Yes, PrintsWallah provides professional installation across all 20 cities. Shop board installation: ₹500-1,500. Glow sign board installation: ₹1,000-3,000. Large hoarding installation: quoted based on size, height, and location. Our teams carry all necessary hardware -channels, frames, screws, ropes, cable ties, and ladders up to 20 ft. For heights above 20 ft, we arrange hydraulic platforms.
What is the maximum size flex banner you can print?
Our wide-format printers produce seamless flex up to 10 feet (3.2 meters) wide with unlimited length. For wider requirements, panels are heat-welded with invisible seams. We regularly produce hoardings up to 40×40 feet (1,600 sq ft) and building wraps exceeding 5,000 sq ft using multi-panel seaming. The seam strength exceeds the flex material itself.
Is flex printing eco-friendly?
Modern eco-solvent and latex printing methods are significantly more environmentally friendly than older solvent technologies. Latex printing is virtually odorless with near-zero VOC emissions. PVC flex itself is recyclable, and PrintsWallah partners with recycling organizations to repurpose used flex banners into bags, table covers, and construction materials rather than sending them to landfills.
