WHAT IS ID-MARK?
ID-MARK® is a photosensitive, water processed imaging material for creating custom signs, labels, nameplates, and decals in less than five minutes.

ID-MARK is ideal for prototyping or on-site, short-run production of signs, labels, plaques and nameplates. Available in aluminum or plastic, each ID-MARK sheet comes pre-applied with high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive for easy mounting and finishing. The result is custom, colorful, and chemical resistant identification that is quick and easy to produce on-site.

ID-MARK is ideal for indoor usage, and has an average outdoor life of 5-6 years with a protective overlaminate. Because ID-MARK is imaged with a simple exposure device and developed with water, it can be used at your location to produce nameplates, labels or signs where and when needed.
ID-MARK is also available in photo-luminescent and retro-reflective substrates that can be used for safety and emergency signs.

MATTE OVERLAM
Features superior protection from moisture and abrasion with a dull, non-reflective finish.
VELVET POLYCARBONATE OVERLAM
Features a textured, frosty finish that offers excellent resistance to abrasion.
The unprotected ID-MARK image is abrasion resistant and moisture resistant and is suitable for indefinite indoor use. It is susceptible to wet abrasion, however, so for outdoor applications and applications in general, protection in the form of a film over-laminate is required.
