Quick answer: MAXDECAL VPF100 is an optically clear gloss protection film used as an overlaminate over printed vinyl. It is applied over APV80 and similar printed graphics to protect the image, preserve color depth and create a glossy finished surface.
VPF100 is the protection layer in the APV80 + VPF100 system. It is not the printable face film. Instead, it is applied over printed graphics after printing and before installation.
This distinction is important for buyers. APV80 is where the image is printed. VPF100 is what helps protect the printed image. Together, they create a finished graphic for vehicle wraps, race car liveries, fleet branding and commercial graphics.
VPF100 is described as optically clear, high gloss and ultra-transparent. These qualities matter because the overlaminate should protect the print without dulling the color or hiding the design.
For projects that need a different finish, MAXDECAL also offers VPF100M as a matte option. VPF100 is the better choice when the project needs a glossy, high-impact look.
