In the first article of this four-part series, we discussed the importance of protecting your fleet graphics against road wear. We also looked at the three methods commonly used to do so. The McDonald’s fleet, one of North America’s most recognized brands, was chosen as a case study to examine as they have strategically used three approaches to protect their graphics.

The first type of protection we will review in this article is Liquid Lamination. It is a UV cured clear coat that is applied directly to the printed media. This coating offers protection against mid-level abrasion and color fade, adds brilliance to your images, and is the most cost-effective option.

Large fleets like McDonald’s use Liquid Lamination for rolling stock, which stays mostly on the highways. It easily handles much of the abrasion these trailers are subjected to, which comes from cleaning as well as various types of inclement weather. Using a Liquid Laminate will keep the images on your graphics colorfast for up to seven years. It also complies with the warranties of most leading brands of print media.

If you have a large highway fleet with printed graphics, Liquid Lamination offers you the most complete and economical protection for your fleet graphics. Learn more at www.arlon.com.
