Printed Films
Custom-printed anti-graffiti films that combine surface protection with branding, advertising, and graphics — replace design and renew protection in one step.
About Printed Films
Graffiti Shield's Printed Films combine anti-graffiti surface protection with full-color custom graphics produced by Graffiti Shield's in-house printing program. Rather than treating vandalism protection and surface presentation as separate programs with separate schedules and contractors, Printed Films consolidate both into a single replaceable film layer applied to glass. When the film is damaged by vandalism or when the graphic campaign changes, the entire layer is removed and replaced — simultaneously renewing the protection and updating the design.
For Philadelphia retail storefronts on Walnut Street, Chestnut Street, and South Street, Printed Films enable a combination of anti-graffiti protection and seasonal or promotional window graphics that would otherwise require two separate products and two separate service relationships. A Printed Film installation for a spring campaign provides anti-graffiti protection through the season; when the campaign ends, the film is replaced with a new design rather than removed entirely.
Philadelphia transit advertising applications are a strong fit for Printed Films. SEPTA advertising panels and platform barriers that currently require separate graphic media and separate anti-graffiti protection can be consolidated into a single Printed Film layer. When advertising campaigns change, the film replacement serves double duty as a protection renewal.
As Graffiti Shield Inc. describes the product: operators can "convey messages to customers and employees, advertise new products, or add a thematic touch" while "turning surface protection into a creative marketing avenue." The in-house printing ensures color accuracy and material compatibility with the anti-graffiti coating system — the graphic layer and the protective hard coat are integrated in the manufacturing process rather than applied separately.

Protection and Branding in One Layer
Printed Films replace two separate products — anti-graffiti film and window graphics — with a single layer that provides both simultaneously. One installation, one service relationship, one replacement cycle.
Replace Design and Renew Protection Together
When the graphic campaign changes, the Printed Film is replaced — automatically renewing the anti-graffiti protection as part of the same service event. Campaigns end; protection is always current.
In-House Printing Ensures Integration
Graffiti Shield produces Printed Films in-house, integrating the graphic layer with the anti-graffiti coating system in manufacturing. Color accuracy, material compatibility, and protective performance are built into the film rather than stacked on top of each other.
