PVC film is chosen for its conformability and its dead-fold behaviour on highly curved or recessed surfaces. It is a legacy specification in some markets and a restricted one in others, so confirm the customer specification before you commit a run.
Underneath it sits acrylic adhesive. The liner is a paper grade, specified for release and for runnability rather than for printability. The exact grade is on the data sheet.
This construction sits in the Offset family, which we build for sheet-fed offset presses. The family grouping is not marketing shorthand — it is how the topcoat is chosen.

Supplied as sheets, this construction is aimed at offset houses that print labels alongside their other commercial work and want a predictable, press-ready sheet.
Sheet format lets a converter run a few hundred pieces without committing to a jumbo roll.
Silver, gold and brushed facestocks in sheet form, for packaging that needs a premium surface without a film-lamination step.
This construction is supplied in sheets. Roll-fed presses should take a roll construction instead.
Metallic and brushed facestocks need the press chemistry checked before a long run.
PVC is still specified where its conformability is needed, but a growing number of brand owners restrict it. Check the customer specification before quoting.
The Self Adhesive PVC Sheets series holds 3 constructions in our catalogue. They share the same facestock family, so the differences that matter are adhesive system and liner — and those two decide which jobs each code wins.
Buyers often ask the reverse question: the construction works, but the press changes. These are the codes in other families built on the same facestock type.
