Windigo Signs Launches Their "Soft Signs" Series
Exterior signs have always been subject to differing types of
degradation due to local weather conditions. Sure, an exterior
sign can be built to withstand almost every type of weather
assault, but the cost would be prohibitive. The idea is to come
up with a cost-effective way to make a sign that will stand-up
to the challenges of inclement weather and not fade away from
UV light rays. Windigo Signs steps up to the challenge with
the release of their "Soft Signs" Series utilizing patent pending
durable molded plastic components and special fabric treated for
Dye Sublimation printing. This is an unbeatable combination for
both interior and exterior signage and is made in America.

Windigo's development of key signage parts enables a huge
selection of sign types. There are four plastic component parts:
the corner, straight, base and live hinge parts. These parts allow
for unlimited sign creations. They easily fit into one another
allowing many widths and heights. The live hinge allows wind
forces to load up on the sign and gently turn, releasing the pressure from the sign and coming back to center thus protecting the
sign frame, graphic and light pole or sign base.
This method of fabrication yields a sign that is easy to assemble
onsite and lightweight for shipping. Stress on the sign face and
frame is minimized by the ingenious "Live Hinge" system. The
sign system is designed for the latest sign industry trend which
is "soft signs." Other types of tension fabrics fade quickly and do
not offer the super vibrant graphics that have become a hallmark
of Windigo's stretch fabric soft signs. The big bonus is that they
fold up in a small package without wrinkles and are inserted in
the sign box saving again on shipping and storage. For more

Shining a Light on Creativity: New 3M Wrap Reflective
Film Improves Application with High Conformability and
Self-Healing
As the graphics industry continues to flourish, product quality
and versatility have become the name of the game. Setting a
new standard for reflective film innovation, 3M has developed
Scotchlite™ Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R, opening the door to
the next era of vehicle wrap installation. Engineered with wider
retro-reflective viewing angles, the film's chief advancement
lies in its increased conformability and self-healing properties.
This multifaceted film provides installers with a film that stands
up to the rigorous vehicle wrapping process that includes
repositioning, elongation and conforming without severe bruising. The highly forgiving, robust 3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film
780mC-10R possesses increased stretch and bend capabilities,
allowing seamless molding around vehicle contours like door
handles and bumpers with little to no bruising. If soft bruising
or dark spots do occur during the installation process, it can be
"healed" with heat to leave a uniform graphic appearance with
restored reflectivity.
Equipped with the new micro Comply™ Adhesive with non-visible air release channels, 3M Scotchlite Print Wrap Film 780mC10R facilitates the ease of application with high-precision installations and easier film removal. Offering increased retro-reflec-
