Custom Printed Film

We will turn your company logo or any image you provide into a custom printed hydrographic film for your next project. With custom printed films, you will avoid the large OEM development fees and minimum quantities required to get your image or logo turned into a custom hydrographic film. This is a great option if you need a short run of your desired film, or if you would like to prototype a design before going to full OEM production.

FAQ

What base needs to be used under the custom film?

Normally you will want to use a white base coat like the Liquid Concepts Bright White. Alternate bases can be used but be aware that the inks printed are semi transparent so alternate base colors can affect the hue of the inks.

What format do I need to provide to get a custom image made into a hydrographic film?

We recommend sending us the original file the document was created in. We can open all the popular drawing programs including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flexi and much more. We can also use high resolution photographs as well. Some of the most common files that we use are – .TIFF, .AI, .PDF, . PNG, .JPG, .PSD, .SVG and many more. If unsure you can email us at info@liquidconcepts.com and we can let you know if we can work with the file. 

What is the DPI that I need to have my image to be?

We will print any image that you send us but we normally recommend at least a 300 DPI or larger file. If we see that the custom image that you provide us is not sufficient or will possibly look bad when scaled up to a certain size, we will certainly let you know before anything is printed.

Does my pattern need to be seamless or can I send you an image I took?

Seamless images are the most common as they repeat within the amount of film ordered. However, not all designs can be created seamlessly. We can also print single images scaled to any size you desire (assuming the file resolution allows) within the amount of film you order.

Do you charge a design fee to set up my custom film for printing?

If your design is ready to print or simply just needs to be resized then there is no design fee or additional charges. If your artwork requires us to make digital edits or to create the design you would like, then yes, there will be a design fee. This fee is based upon what you are wanting to create and the time involved. Once we have that information we will provide you with a quote for the design fee. This must be paid in advance and then a proof is provided within 1-2 business days in most cases.

How much is a custom printed hydrographic image?

We keep all our pricing very simple across the board. You will pay $34.99 per meter for one square meter of custom film. One square meter of custom printed film will run 48” wide and 32” long.

Do you offer discounts on multiple orders or larger orders?

Unfortunately we do not as the film is very costly to print as well as the process involved to make it. Currently we sell all film for the same price across the board no matter if you order 1 square meter or 100+ meters of film.

How soon can you print my custom film? What is the turn around?

Most orders are processed and shipped within 1 business day. However if we need to contact you for sizing information this can delay your order processing.

Do you offer expedited delivery of custom film?

Yes we certainly do. If you are in a time crunch and need custom film in a timely manner we can get you fixed up as soon as possible! By being able to print in-house and keeping stock of all the materials needed, we can get your order out as soon as you need it with expedited shipping.

How wide is your custom film? What are the dimensions of what I am getting?

We sell the custom film by the square meter. One square meter of custom film is 48” wide x 32” long. If you order 2 square meters of custom film then you will receive one continuous roll of film that is 48” wide and 64” long. The 48” width is always constant and depending on how many meters of film you order, will determine the length of film.

Is there anything different about using the custom print on demand film vs normal hydrographic film?

Yes the custom print on demand film is a little different than standard film. This film is printed using different technology than the standard films on the market and does take a bit of adjustment for using. You will be provided with instructions that have a detailed video on how to use the custom printed film. Here is the video as well for reference- https://www.liquidconcepts.com/custom-film-development/instructions

Do you print trademarked patterns or sports teams (i.e. NFL, NBA, MLB) comic characters or any other type of prints?

We DO NOT print any trademarked/copyrighted images unless you have obtained written consent from the trademark owner that you can provide to us. If you send us an image and we find that it’s “Copied from Google” then we will NOT print it. If you have a question or concern about an image please feel free to contact us and we can gladly let you know if we are able to print it or not.

What colors can you print on a custom film?

We currently print all colors EXCEPT white or any metallic colors. Since white is the recommended base color, white will be clear on all prints received.

Can you match an existing color that I have or print certain pantone colors?

For us to match existing colors of an image, we need to have a physical sample in hand to manually adjust colors to get the best possible color match. Due to different types of printing, images, screens, etc we cannot guarantee any color matching.

Is there shipping included in the price of the film?

Shipping is not included in the $34.99 per meter of film price. All shipping within the continental US is a flat rate of $16.99. Any shipping outside the continental US will need to be calculated manually to get a correct quote.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes we do! Due to your location we will need to manually calculate a shipping quote for you. If you can email us with your order and full address we will happily quote this and invoice you directly. Our email address is info@liquidconcepts.com.

How do I know what size the pattern is on your custom film you have on the website?

This is one of the great things about custom film! You actually can change the size of the pattern when you order any custom film that we print. During the ordering process you can specify for instance if you want your design to have a smaller or larger scale.  This option is available on ALL custom print on demand films. Example: You order a design with multiple flags, what size flags do you want? 2” Tall? 3” Tall? 5” tall? etc.

Can I print multiple images on a meter of film or is it only 1 image per film?

You can print any number of images you would like as long as it fits into the 48”x32” square meter that you purchase. If you have multiple images that you want to print we can scale them to size and let you know exactly how many meters you will need for a job as well.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?

All custom films are printed to order so we do not offer any returns or exchanges. If there is an issue please contact us and we will do our best to help!
