Product Description
Arlon Series 3270 is a 2-mil (50 micron) premium cast vinyl overlaminate with clear, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive — the heavier-gauge cast laminate engineered for long-term graphic protection on vehicles, fleet, and signage. Built-in UV inhibitors and a 7-year outdoor durability rating extend printed-graphic life on flat and curved surfaces. Available in Gloss, Satin, and Matte finishes.
Premium Cast Overlaminate with Three-Finish Versatility
Series 3270 is Arlon's premium cast overlaminate — a 2-mil cast vinyl with built-in UV inhibitors and a clear, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The cast construction delivers the conformability needed for vehicle wraps and curved signage, while the heavier 2-mil thickness provides more substantial protection against abrasion and weathering than thinner intermediate-grade cast laminates.
What sets 3270 apart in the cast lineup is the three-finish range — Gloss, Satin, and Matte — giving wrap installers and sign shops creative flexibility on a single, premium-grade laminate. Whether the project calls for high-gloss color depth, a glare-free matte architectural look, or a sophisticated satin in between, 3270 covers the full range.

Choose Your Finish
Gloss
80–90 Gloss UnitsMaximum color depth and saturation. The standard choice for vehicle wraps, retail graphics, and any project where visual impact and color pop are the priority.

Matte
1.5–10 Gloss UnitsDeep low-glare finish. Ideal for indoor signage, architectural applications, photography graphics, and anywhere reflection control matters.
Ideal Applications
Vehicle & Fleet Wraps
Premium full and partial vehicle wraps, commercial fleet graphics, and trailers — where heavier-gauge protection and three-finish flexibility matter to the client.
Long-Term Outdoor Signage
Permanent and semi-permanent outdoor signage, branded environments, and architectural graphics with 5–7 year service-life expectations.
POP & Retail Graphics
Premium kiosks, point-of-purchase displays, and retail graphics where the finish choice (matte for galleries, gloss for grocery, satin for luxury) drives the brand presentation.
Indoor Architectural Graphics
Wall graphics, photography installations, and corporate environment branding where low-glare matte or sophisticated satin finishes are required.
