Nawa Lanka Enterprises is a vinyl supplier in Sri Lanka for sign makers, print shops and vehicle wrap studios. We stock cast and calendered vinyl in a wide range of finishes and colours at our Colombo and Anuradhapura branches.
Choosing the right vinyl matters more in Sri Lanka than in most places, because intense sunlight, humidity and heat wear films out faster. The guide below helps you match the film to the job.

Cast or calendered vinyl?
The two main families of vinyl behave very differently. Cast vinyl is thin and conforms well to curves. Calendered vinyl is thicker and stiffer, so it suits flat surfaces.
| Property | Cast vinyl | Calendered vinyl |
|---|---|---|
| Conformability | Excellent, handles complex curves | Limited, best on flat surfaces |
| Rated outdoor life | 5 to 12 years | 2 to 5 years |
| Full vehicle wrap | Recommended | Not suitable |
| Flat-panel fleet graphics | Works well | Cost-effective choice |
| Price | Higher | Lower |
If the surface has compound curves, recesses or rivets, use cast vinyl. Calendered film tends to lift on those surfaces.
Which vinyl for which job?
| Application | Recommended vinyl |
|---|---|
| Indoor cut lettering | Calendered standard or NcCAL |
| Outdoor flat-panel graphics | Calendered outdoor vinyl |
| Outdoor cut lettering | Polymeric cast vinyl |
| Vehicle full wraps | Cast wrap vinyl with air-release |
| Fleet markings on flat panels | Polymeric calendered vinyl |
| High-value permanent signage | Premium cast vinyl such as OROCAL |
Tips for longer-lasting vinyl
- Choose air-release film for vehicle wraps. Micro-channel adhesive lets air escape during application, giving faster, bubble-free results.
- Use permanent adhesive on vehicles. In Sri Lanka's heat, repositionable adhesives lose their holding power.
- Add an overlaminate to printed graphics. A UV-resistant laminate protects the ink and can extend outdoor life considerably.
- Allow for the climate. Reduce manufacturer outdoor ratings by about 25 to 35% for Sri Lankan conditions.
- Post-heat edges and stretched areas with a heat gun to lock the film in place.

Vinyl FAQ
Which vinyl is best for a full car wrap?
Use cast vinyl with air-release adhesive. Cast film conforms to curves, recesses and complex panels. Calendered vinyl is stiffer and is better kept for flat surfaces.
How long does outdoor vinyl last in Sri Lanka?
Strong sunlight and humidity age vinyl faster than the manufacturer ratings, which are tested in milder climates. As a rule of thumb, reduce the rated outdoor life by about 25 to 35%.
