SCREEN SOLUTIONS
Screen Printing is a process utilizing a squeegee to transfer a heavy deposit of ink onto a substrate through a taunt, fine mesh. A desired image is created by blocking specific openings in the mesh with an impermeable coating. Screen printing can be done on a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates.
The heavy deposit of ink results in a very rich, vibrant appearance that has
superior chemical resistance, long outdoor durability
and superior fade resistance in UV environments.

UL SCREEN PRODUCTS
ALG has many UL Approved products that meet the highest standards of performance and durability. Screen Printed UL products are a preferred option because it can provide exceptional resistance to moisture, corrosive chemicals and ultraviolet rays from the sun that other printing processes cannot provide. Screen Printing also provides the widest range of materials available that are the most durable, such as aluminum and polycarbonate, making the best possible UL Certified products to meet your specifications.
OUTDOOR DURABLE
Materials specifically designed to perform outdoors, are utilized in the Screen Printing process. These materials use UV inhibitors and other chemical enhancements to improve its durability in an outdoor environment. To further extend the life of a decal, special laminations or topcoats can be added to provide even greater UV and abrasion resistance.
Our screen inks utilize pigments made with excellent light-fastness and other additives to extend outdoor life. We utilize adhesives specially formulated to stick to the toughest surfaces and engineered to perform over a wide range of service temperatures.
These combinations of materials, laminations, inks and adhesives ensure that we manufacture a superior, outdoor durable product to function in the harshest of environments.
