PVC Tarpaulin Roll for Billboard Printing — 650gsm White (Frontlit & Backlit)
DERFLEX premium 650gsm white PVC banner material engineered for high-quality billboard printing — available in both Frontlit and Backlit constructions. Optimized for solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV large-format printers.
Product Overview
Our 650gsm white PVC tarpaulin roll is designed for demanding large-format advertising applications where print quality, color vibrancy and long outdoor life matter. Available as Frontlit (opaque, high-whiteness front face) or Backlit (translucent, controlled light transmission), this product balances excellent ink reception with mechanical strength and weather resistance.
DERFLEX employs high-tenacity polyester basecloth, precision PVC knife-coating or lamination processes, and calibrated calendaring to produce rolls that feature:
- 650 gsm nominal weight for robust handling and durability;
- industry-leading whiteness and opacity for high color gamut and contrast;
- front and back surface formulations tuned for solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV ink systems;
- tight dimensional stability and consistent coating weight across long rolls;
- excellent resistance to edge fray, tearing and hydrostatic wetting.

Printing Compatibility & Best Practices
Supported Printer & Ink Systems
- Solvent & Eco-solvent: Excellent color density and adhesion. Use recommended dryer settings to avoid over-saturation.
- Latex: Very good adhesion and quick handling; adjust heater profiles to prevent overheating and gloss variation.
- UV: Suitable with proper adhesion-promoting formulation; watch for surface curing differences on translucent backlit variants.
Pre-printing & Post-printing Recommendations
- Condition material at printroom temperature (20–25°C) and humidity (40–60%) for 24 hours before printing.
- Perform test prints for color profiling — request DERFLEX sample swatches for ICC profile tuning.
- Use edge clamps and accurate tensioning to avoid stretch; keep stroke length consistent to prevent banding.
- For backlit applications, calibrate lightbox intensity and evaluate printed density using your target illumination setup.
- For printing on backlit / translucent material consider slight increase in ink coverage to achieve similar visual density as opaque frontlit prints.
- Post-print finishing: hot air welding, RF welding or industrial sewing for hems; use reinforced hems and eyelets for outdoor billboards.
Available Colors & Surface Options
Although the product is specified as 650gsm White for billboard printing, DERFLEX also supplies matched white tones (cool white, neutral white) and surface finishes:
- Matte White (recommended for reduced glare)
- Satin White (balanced gloss and color pop)
- Gloss White (rich color but higher glare outdoors)
- Backlit Translucent White (for evenly diffused illuminated signs)
Custom white tones and anti-microbial or anti-dust surface treatments are available for specialized environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Is 650gsm too heavy for large-format printing?
A: No. 650gsm is a balanced weight offering strong mechanical properties and excellent print quality. It is commonly used for long-term outdoor billboards, building wraps and high-tension banner installations.
Q2: Can I print backlit graphics on the backlit version?
A: Yes. The backlit variant is engineered for uniform light diffusion; however, color and density behave differently under illumination. We recommend test prints using your lightbox and final illumination setup.
Q3: Which inks dry fastest on this material?
A: Drying time depends on ink formulation and heater settings. Eco-solvent and latex typically dry quickly; UV cures immediately after irradiation. DERFLEX can provide recommended dryer and heater profiles for common printers.
Q4: Do you provide flame-retardant treated 650gsm banners?
A: Yes — FR treatments are available. Specify required standard (EN/ASTM/NFPA) at RFQ so we can supply tested materials and certificates.
Q5: What are the lead times for roll orders?
A: Typical lead time for stocked widths is 7–14 days; custom widths, colors or treated materials can take 21–35 days depending on order volume and current schedule.
