GAMART launches new Arlon 5800X Series polymeric film with air-egress and synthetic liner

Graphic Art Mart has announced the exclusive release of the Arlon 5800X Series, a polymeric film designed to make everyday signage installations faster and more efficient.

The film is a market first featuring a synthetic liner with air-egress technology and is available across a full range of 50 colours. Traditionally reserved for cast films, this feature is now being applied to polymeric films, expanding options for projects with flat or slightly curved surfaces.

Rolls are produced at 1.25 metres wide slightly larger than the 1.22m industry standard providing edge to edge coverage on rigid panels. Outdoor durability is rated at up to seven years (five for metallics). The product is available in introductory roll lengths of 25 metres to reduce stock commitment, handling weight and storage requirements.

The synthetic liner provides several benefits during production and installation, including improved cut precision, easier weeding, lay-flat stability, and a glossier finished appearance. The liner is already in use across other Arlon ranges such as the 2100SL, 2500SL, and 5200, but this marks the first time it has been integrated into a polymeric option.

“The 5800X was developed with everyday signage and fast-turnaround jobs in mind. It offers premium features for the cost of a standard polymeric,” says Mark Canavan, Marketing and Vendor Relations Manager Graphic Art Mart. “It’s suited to display graphics, retail and promotional installs, and applications where a reliable, professional finish is needed without extended installation time.”

“By combining air-egress technology, a wide colour selection, and installer-friendly roll sizes, the 5800X Series aims to bridge the gap between affordability and performance in polymeric films,” concludes Canavan.
