Reference and Terminology
Here's some terminology that will help you understand the various products you will hear discussed more and more within our industry:
Posters
- Paper 30-sheets
- Eco-Posters™ are the trademarked name of single sheet posters created by Circle Graphics to fit the CG Cable System. These posters are finished with a pocket on the back that accommodates small clips that ultimately tension the poster.
- Lamar Poster Flex is the generic name used for lightweight plastic posters with pole-pocket finishing on the back that fit the Lamar poster frames.
Note: Lamar Poster Flex is produced by a variety of vendors including Lamar Graphics, Circle Graphics, and others.
Flex Wraps for Bulletins
- Vinyl / PVC Flex is the traditional bulletin wrap material that
has been in use for approximately 25 years.
- Eco-Flexx is a PE-based, lightweight recyclable substrate manufactured exclusively by Circle Graphics and represents a non-toxic alternative to PVC. Currently Circle produces over 50% of our bulletin wraps on Eco-Flexx, a substrate increasingly being selected by environmentally conscious national advertisers such as Anheuser-Busch, Walt Disney, Geico and others).
Note: Both the products above are rotatable and long-term (12 months for EF and 24 months for Vinyl).
