Squeegees & Rollers
Squeegees – versatile tools for bubble-free foil application
Whether you’re wrapping vehicles, applying window privacy films or attaching lettering – using the right squeegee ensures your films and vinyls are applied cleanly and precisely. These handy helpers are essential in the world of sign making and creative design. Especially in car wrapping, window film installation, or working with decorative films, they guarantee an even adhesion without air bubbles.
These tools are typically flat and made from plastic, rubber or felt, allowing you to securely apply self-adhesive materials. By applying uniform pressure, they create a strong bond between foil and surface. Whether you’re a professional or doing DIY projects, the right tool makes every job easier.
Their applications are highly varied: from the black professional model, the SUPERIOR Black Rakel Pro, for almost all transfer work, to the magenta-coloured “all-rounders” with felt edging for car wrapping and window film installation, up to the felt tool for applying coloured films on cardboard, furniture or wall decals – at foil direct, you’ll find the perfect option for every task.
Overview of the tools
For car wrapping, you need a particularly gentle tool that won’t scratch delicate paint surfaces. A squeegee with a micro-felt edge – a three-layer special fabric – is recommended, which protects the surface and smooths out minor imperfections.
If you’re applying large window films, an ergonomic handle is beneficial – allowing you to work comfortably over longer distances. For transferring lettering, logos or decals, a compact, flexible yet firm tool is ideal, one that yields slightly under pressure. The SUPERIOR Black Rakel Pro fits this perfectly – it feels good in your hand and applies even the smallest elements securely and bubble-free onto glass, plastic, or metal.
Types & features – what you should know
- Soft versions made from flexible plastic are perfect for pushing out water during large-scale wet application.
- Hard models are better suited for durable surfaces, such as when applying transfer films on lettering.
- Felt coatings allow for gentle handling of printed surfaces and adapt well to uneven surfaces, like with wall decals.
- Teflon variants reduce friction and wear out more slowly.
- Micro-felt tools are popular in the premium segment – especially for car wrapping.
Tip: For optimal results, always choose the right squeegee for your material – and ideally keep several models at hand.
