Focus on Films & Vinyl
Unique products for unique projects Soyang Europe
When it comes to films and vinyls, there is no such thing as a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. A product that performs perfectly in one application may be completely unsuitable for another, making material selection a critical part of any successful project. It’s essential that printers and sign makers carry out proper due diligence when selecting films and vinyls. Understanding the end use, environment, lifespan and application method is what ensures the right materials are chosen every time. Soyang Europe is a specialist in digitally printable wide-format and superwide-format media and surface coverings. Among our diverse portfolio of products is the SOStick collection of self-adhesive vinyl materials, which launched in early 2025. The SOStick Collection includes a selection of monomeric and polymeric solutions, covering permanent and removable adhesives, grey-back, bubble-free and high tack adhesive options. This breadth allows printers to select a vinyl that matches the demands of each job, rather than compromising with a generic solution. Within the range, SOStick Monomeric Gloss White P GB is a monomeric PVC featuring a pressure-sensitive grey, solvent-based permanent adhesive and double-sided PE liner. It is ideal for applications such as exhibition graphics, short-term indoor displays and retail projects where block-out coverage and consistent results are required. Also available is SOStick Monomeric Gloss White P GB BF, which offers bubble-free application and is supplied in widths up to 1.52m. Compatible with Eco-Solvent, Latex, and UV printing technologies, it is designed for easy, efficient installation across

a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.

Designed to enhance durability and finish quality for indoor and outdoor exhibitions, events, and display graphics. Completing the selection is SOStick Monomeric Matter HT
GB, which features a matte finish and high-tack grey adhesive. This product is compatible with Eco-Solvent, Latex and UV Printers and commonly used for POS graphics and exhibition applications where secure adhesion is essential The Soyang team is always on hand to help customers select the most appropriate material for their application. Whether it’s product choice, compatibility or performance
expectations, support is a key part of what we offer. The SOStick range can also be purchased online at the recently announced Soyang Shop.

For sign making, printed display and graphics professionals, the choice of wide-format films and vinyls is increasingly important. They shape the finish, the fitting time, and, ultimately, the reputation of the business applying them. A wrap that conforms cleanly or a film that performs as specified can protect margins as much as it protects paintwork.
This is where William Smith leads the market. With almost two centuries in business, the company supplies one of the broadest ranges of sign and graphics materials in the UK. They supply an extensive range of their own branded products alongside materials from the industry’s leading media manufacturers. They cover all applications from vehicle wrapping and fleet graphics to architectural finishes, window films and interior transformations. Installers can source leading brands such as 3M,

Avery Dennison, Contra Vision and Arlon, alongside William Smith’s own VION range. For customers, that breadth delivers practical benefits. It gives customers the choice to meet required performance levels and price points with materials suited to different environments. It also gives them the flexibility to respond to varied client briefs without juggling multiple suppliers. Speed and reliability are equally important. Significant
stockholding and late order cut-offs help sign businesses keep production moving. In a trade where deadlines shift and installation windows can be tight, consistent next-day delivery reduces disruption and gives teams greater confidence when scheduling work. Taken together, range, availability and skills development demonstrate a supplier focused on more than transactions. For sign and graphics professionals, that combination supports steady day-to-day operations and underpins sustainable growth in a competitive market.
