Materials We Offer
3M™ Long-Term Interior Vinyl
Industry-leading, durable sign-grade vinyl - backed by the 3M brand.
Strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive intended for long-term/”permanent” installation. 3M vinyl films advertised as “permanent” are still removable, it just takes a lot of elbow grease and the film will leave an adhesive residue behind. For removing this residue, RM wraps recommends a glue-removal product such as Goo Gone.
Air-Egress Technology baked right into the vinyl. No need for wet installation or pulling a print back off the surface to chase out air bubbles - simply massage around the bubble with your thumb, and watch as it magically disappears.
Opaque vinyl and adhesive layers. With some cheaper vinyl films on the market, you have to worry about background surface color bleeding through - dirtying and dulling bright colors, and/or washing out darks. With 3M opaque materials, any color graphic can go on any color surface without the print changing apparent colors.
Laminated with UV-Resistant Protective Film. Lamination is just as important as the vinyl film itself - that’s why every vinyl print from RM wraps comes standard with a top lamination layer that guards your graphic from moisture, abrasion, and UV for the life of the wrap. When needed, our long-term vinyl prints can safely be cleaned with any household or commercial cleaning agents.

Removable Photo Tex™ Fabric
100% Polyester self-adhesive Fabric
Peel-and-Stick, Removable Adhesive. Photo Tex is a revolutionary, industry-leading 100% polyester fabric material that looks and feels like wallpaper, peels and sticks like wrap vinyl, and peels off like a sticky note.
Infinitely Re-usable. As long as the adhesive side of the vinyl stays clean and dust/dirt/lint free, and you clean the wrapped surface prior to install, Photo Tex material prints can be installed over and over again without loss of “Stikability”
Opaque vinyl and adhesive layers. Photo Tex comes in a couple different styles - we stock and regularly print on their “OPA” variant, which stands for Opaque. We’ve found this version has the perfect amount of rigidity and “Stikability” for door and wall wraps, with the added bonus of being block-out just like our long-term vinyl prints. No need to worry if a dark-colored door will show through a white door wrap!
Eco-Friendly and Safety-Conscious. Photo Tex materials meet ASTM E84 Class A or 1 Fire Rating, and are lead & phthalates free.

3M™ Long-Term Exterior Vinyl
Made from the same high-grade materials as car wraps - backed by the 3M brand.
Strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive intended for long-term/”permanent” installation. 3M vinyl films advertised as “permanent” are still removable, it just takes a lot of elbow grease and the film can leave an adhesive residue behind, especially if removed cold. For removing this residue, RM wraps recommends a glue-removal product such as Goo Gone.
Engineered for demanding weather conditions. 3M exterior-grade materials are engineered to be dimensionally-stable from -60°F to over 220°F.
Air-Egress Technology baked right into the vinyl. No need for wet installation or pulling a print back off the surface to chase out air bubbles - simply massage around the bubble with your thumb, and watch as it magically disappears.
Opaque vinyl and adhesive layers. With some cheaper vinyl films on the market, you have to worry about background surface color bleeding through - dirtying and dulling bright colors, and/or washing out darks. With 3M opaque materials, any color graphic can go on any color surface without the print changing apparent colors.
Laminated with 3M UV-Resistant Protective Film. Lamination is just as important as the vinyl film itself - that’s why we stick with a 3M lamination that guards your graphic from moisture, abrasion, and UV for several years. When needed, our long-term vinyl prints can safely be cleaned with any household or commercial cleaning agents.

With a wrap from RM wraps, there’s no need to hunt down any fancy tools to install your wrap - the squeegee you need for applying the vinyl and the knife you need to trim the wrap flush are included right along with your prints in the box. The only other materials you’ll need are some kind of cleaning agent (soap and water, isopropyl alcohol, or glass cleaner) and a cleaning cloth.
Installation instructions are included as well - simply scan the QR code engraved on the included squeegee, watch the short video on proper vinyl application, and then click on the link in the description for detailed instructions on the subject you’re wrapping (mini fridge, chest freezer, refrigerator, table, door, etc.)
-
The Door: You do not need to take the door off its hinges to install our wraps. Most customers install their wraps while the door remains hanging.
Hardware: Yes, we strongly recommend removing door knobs, deadbolts, handles, kickplates, and peek-hole covers before applying the wrap for an easier install and cleaner final finish.
-
As long as the your surface is properly prepped and clean prior to installation, interior wraps can easily last 10+ years.
Exterior wraps can be expected to last 3-5 years depending on your climate and how much direct sunlight the wrap receives (especially in the summer months).
-
This depends on what the underlying finish is, what wrap material you choose, and how long the wrap is installed before you remove it. Our “permanent” interior and exterior wrap vinyls have stronger adhesive, and become more-strongly bonded to the surface over time. Our Photo Tex material has a removable adhesive that does not bond as strongly.
If your underlying finish is not a “stronger” finish (e.g. lacquer. epoxy, or powdercoat) and/or the finish is no longer strongly-bonded to the underlying surface (e.g. clear coat that is hazing/wiping off like a powder, or paint that is peeling/flaking off), our permanent wrap materials will likely peel off parts of the finish when you remove the wrap.
-
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive scrubbing pads. We like using invisible glass cleaner and lint free towel.

Long-Term Interior and Exterior vinyl: It’s best to use a hot blow dryer or a heat gun to soften the vinyl and the glue. If its been on for years, the vinyl may leave glue behind on the surface - you can use adhesive dissolving products like Goof Off or Goo Gone to remove the remaining adhesive.
Photo Tex: just grab a corner and peel - the removable adhesive shouldn’t not leave any residue behind.
-
