Indoor Carpet Advertising White Opaque Base Film Aggressive marketers are taking floor advertising a step further by placing advertisements on indoor carpets near their items being advertised. Pressure-sensitive film solutions for carpet advertising must be able to withstand abrasion and wear from heavy foot traffic as well as cleaning solutions. They must also meet ASTM non-slip standards. The adhesive must be strong enough to hold the graphic in place on the low pile carpet surface, but also be easily removed with no residue after the promotion is over.
