1 Indoor Floor Advertising System For Full Coverage, Short- to Medium-Term Promotions Reverse Printable, High-Gloss Clear Vinyl Base/Double-Faced Adhesive Underlaminate In an effort to increase presence at the point-of-purchase, savvy marketers are creating branded zones/isles within the retail store with full-floor coverage graphics that have more depth and dimension and are more eye-catching to the consumer. Pressure-sensitive film solutions for floors must withstand abrasion from heavy foot traffic, floor buffers, chemicals, waxes and solvents. The adhesive must hold the graphic in place, and be removable after the promotion is over. Floor advertising is an effective way to increase your product s exposure and appeal and ultimately its lift rate. For more information on FLEXcon s pressure-sensitive film solutions for floor advertising, contact your local Sales Representative or Product Branding Business Team at (508) When the products are used in this system format, our system will meet the graphic and functional requirements of the application. Our system provides an exceptional bond to waxed and non-waxed commercial PVC tile, certain ceramic tile, sealed concrete, and linoleum with removability for up to 180 days. FLEXcon s Indoor Floor Advertising System for Full Coverage, Short- to Medium-Term Promotions is the ideal choice for your brand promotions.

5 FLEXmark floor art System Application Instructions FLEXcon s System for Graphic Advertising for Floors is designed to be applied to smooth surfaces including waxed and non-waxed commercial PVC tile, certain ceramic tile, sealed concrete, and linoleum. FLOOR CONDITION: Floor surface must be free from all dust or small particles prior to application of graphics. Traditional floor cleaning methods can be used to prepare the surface. Insure that the floor surface is adequately dry before application of graphics. WET APPLICATION METHOD: 1. Spray Windex * or soapy H2O solution over the floor surface. Lightly wipe off with a paper towel leaving some solution on the floor. 2. Peel the backing paper (release liner) 1" down from the top. Fold, and crease the backing paper. 3. Align and apply the graphic starting at the top with firm strokes using a plastic squeegee. Continue removing the backing paper and smooth out with the squeegee. Re-squeegee the edges of the graphic using firm strokes to insure edge adhesion. 4. Remove premask 5. Wipe surface and the edges 6. We recommend waxing/sealing the graphics with the use of an ASTM D 2047 certified wax. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE: 1. When selecting a floor wax, insure it meets or exceeds ASTM D 2047 standards for appropriate static coefficient of friction (.5 min). 2. Avoid damaging graphics by heavy equipment traffic (fork trucks, pallets, or other heavy equipment). 3. Traditional floor cleaning methods can be used for routine maintenance. NOTE: To avoid risk of injury, immediately remove graphics if any edge of the graphic lifts, and replace with a new graphic. REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS: Lift one edge of the graphic and pull, using short quick strokes. Pull at an angle less than 45 degrees for best results. *Windex is a registered trademark of S.C.
