Discover the unique benefits of CARLAS’s newly launched TPU printed film—combining high-definition custom graphics with long-lasting self-healing paint protection.
What Is TPU Printed Film?
TPU printed film is a next-generation vehicle wrap material that combines a high-performance TPU base with custom digital printing technology. It offers both visual customization and strong physical protection, making it an ideal choice for personal car styling, commercial branding, and premium vehicle care.
Unlike traditional vinyl wraps, CARLAS’s TPU printed film is built for long-term durability, weather resistance, and artistic expression—all in one package.
Understanding TPU as a Base Material
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) provides:
- Excellent stretchability and curve conformance
- High scratch and abrasion resistance
- Self-healing capabilities
- UV and yellowing resistance
The Printing Process
Using advanced printing equipment, CARLAS embeds vivid, high-resolution graphics directly into the film. The result is a long-lasting design layer that won’t fade, peel, or distort under harsh conditions.
