MAKROLON VIVAK Sheet
- For
designers seeking the leading edgeof point-of-purchase and
in-store display design, Sheffield has the high performance
material needed to get you there...a material that can become
a force in design by creating cost-effective options. Think
in bold curves, complex parts and molded-in details, without
worrying about durability or fabrication costs. That's the
versatility of VIVAK sheet. It's design freedom plus productivity.
VIVAK sheet has the impact strength and fabrication ease that
acrylic can't touch with the durability to significantly reduce
packaging and shipping costs. It has many advantages of polycarbonate
without the high material costs. Bottom line -- VIVAK sheet
is everything you'll need to develop entirely new, cost-effective,
creative solutions for the display marketplace.
 MAKROLON
VIVAK sheet offers deep draws, complex die-cuts, and precise
molded-in details without sacrificing structural integrity.
It die-cuts and punches easily and can be bonded or fastened
with adhesives, ultrasonic welding or rivets. VIVAK sheet
also allows you to fabricate large, complex shapes in a cost-effective
manner.
VIVAK sheet delivers
the performance edge that reduces breakage during fabrication,
shipping or while in use, And because the performance is so
much improved over acrylic, VIVAK sheet displays can
be shipped fully loaded and still arrive in one piece. This
means displays immediately go to work merchandising the client's
products with little or no additional labor.
