  • Reflective prismatic laminate — significantly higher material cost than standard reflective. Always check current pricing before quoting.

Known quality issues

  • Laminate cracking at edges in humid or marine environments — occurs when the laminate is not fully sealed at the edges, allowing moisture in. Communicate this limitation proactively to customers ordering for outdoor marine or high-humidity environments.
  • Dirt trapped under laminate — a recurring production issue that triggers a redo order. If a customer reports this, classify it as a production defect and handle accordingly.
  • White colour peeling on decals — can occur with standard laminate. Solution: switch to aluminium laminate or frosted laminate.
  • Anti-fingerprint laminate — does not exist in our range. If a customer asks for this, explain that anti-graffiti laminate is the closest alternative we offer.
