Quick answer: MAXDECAL APV80 + VPF100 is a two-film system for professional automotive and commercial graphics. APV80 is the gloss white printable face film. VPF100 is the optically clear gloss overlaminate that protects the printed image and helps preserve color depth.
Vehicle graphics are not made from one layer alone. A professional printed wrap, fleet graphic or race car livery usually needs a printable face film and a protective overlaminate. The face film carries the image. The overlaminate protects the print and completes the finish.
That is the role of MAXDECAL APV80 + VPF100. APV80 is the print face. It is a gloss white automotive print vinyl designed for solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV printing. VPF100 is the finishing layer. It is an optically clear gloss protection film used over printed graphics.
The recommended workflow is simple: print onto APV80, laminate with VPF100, then apply. This makes the system easy for wrap shops, sign shops and print shops to standardize across vehicle graphics, race car liveries, commercial fleets, signage and POP graphics.
The main benefit is balance. APV80 provides the printable surface and visual base for color. VPF100 adds gloss protection without hiding the image. Together, they create a cost-effective system for high-impact graphics where color, clarity and finish matter.
