Meet the Family: TransferRite 1300 Vs. 1500 Series
When it comes to vinyl projects, selecting the right application tape can make all the difference in achieving impressive results! We’ve already covered the features and benefits of our TransferRite 1300 and 1500 Series in previous blogs, but now it’s time to dive deeper into what truly sets these films apart. In this blog, we’ll compare these two standout series side by side, highlighting the key differences to help you choose the right application tape for your next project.
TransferRite 1300 Series
If you need clear visibility while applying vinyl, the 1300 Series has you covered—literally! These clear film application tapes let you see exactly where your vinyl needs to be placed. Unlike paper, you can achieve perfect placement every time. Here’s a closer look at what each tape in this series brings to the table:
- 1301 (Low Tack): Ideal for large vinyl graphics.
- 1310 (Medium Tack): Market leader. Suitable for calendered intermediate vinyl, easily removable from corrugated plastic.
- 1320 (High Tack): Great for small graphics with fine detail, pairing well with specialty vinyls like etched glass and reflective films.
- 1310 Grid (Medium Tack): Features a preprinted 1” grid pattern, making it perfect for crafts and precise alignment.
TransferRite 1500 Series
The 1500 Series is all about strength and durability, making it your go-to for tougher jobs. These transparent films not only transfer vinyl graphics but also provide protection. They’re tear-resistant and built to handle challenging applications like a pro:
- 1504 (Low Tack): Excellent for protecting easily damaged printed graphics.
- 1510 (Medium Tack): Perfect for medium-sized vinyl graphics and doming.
- 1520 (High Tack): Best for small lettering and striping.
- AirMask 510U (Medium Tack): Specifically designed for exposed air release liners, great for partial car wraps.
Which Application Film Is the Best Fit for Your Project?
Both TransferRite 1300 and 1500 Series play crucial roles in various applications and project demands. The 1300 Series is all about clarity and precision ensuring full visibility during installation. This is essential when you need pinpoint accuracy, like aligning intricate designs or layering multiple vinyls. This series is a favorite with its low to high tack options made with our Ultra technology, which makes shipping and handling a breeze. The Ultra adhesive allows layflat on exposed liners preventing tunneling and curling, keeping your graphics pristine.
On the other hand, the 1500 Series prioritizes protection and durability. Its tear-resistant, tough construction makes it ideal for more challenging applications. If you’re working with high-gloss surfaces or tackling projects that involve rough handling, like applying vinyl to uneven or textured surfaces, the 1500 Series has your back. It also offers added protection for your graphics during the transfer process, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring your design is installed in perfect condition. For jobs that demand unique substrates and materials other than vinyl, this series’ strength and varying tack levels will provide you a solution.
In the end, choosing the right film application tape ensures your projects turn out picture-perfect every time! Whether you’re working with ready-to-apply decals or fabricating snowboards, TransferRite has the solution to help you nail it.
