Question

Can I do die cut on backlit film?

Answer

Die cutting is not available on backlit film. It is a specialty see-through plastic material engineered to be lit from behind, and its structure does not support custom die-cut shapes.

  • Why: backlit film is a translucent plastic substrate meant for light boxes and illuminated displays, so it ships in standard rectangular sizes rather than cut shapes.
  • Best use: menu boards, illuminated signage, and light-box graphics where the print glows evenly when backlit.
  • Need a custom shape? Look at adhesive vinyl or other large-format materials that do allow contour and die-cut options.
