What is Plotter Film | Sign Vinyl?
Plotter film is a collective term for films mounted on a carrier material (also called backing or liner). This carrier material allows the film to be precisely cut with a cutting plotter without cutting through the backing.
Plotter films are widely used both in signage technology and in the DIY sector – for example, in window displays, vehicle lettering, wall decals, or stickers.
In everyday language, “plotter film” often refers to a self-adhesive vinyl film (usually made of PVC), used for producing lettering, advertising messages, and graphic designs.
Other types of plotter films include flex and flock films, which are specifically used for textile finishing – for example, when decorating T-shirts or bags.
