Product Overview
General Formulations GF 222AE combines the easy-handling 6.0 mil matte white semi-rigid construction of the GF 222 family with an Air Egress release liner engineered for faster, easier graphic installation. Air-release channels help trapped air escape during application, reducing bubbles and helping installers achieve a smooth, professional finish with less effort.
GF 222AE combines a non-reflective matte white printable surface with a clear permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and 90# Air Egress liner. Its semi-rigid construction provides excellent handling and dimensional stability, making it an excellent choice for efficiently producing and installing signage, decals, POP graphics and other short- to intermediate-term printed graphics.
The key difference between GF 222AE and standard GF 222 is the 90# Air Egress liner. Air-release channels help trapped air escape as the graphic is applied, reducing bubbles and making larger graphics easier to install smoothly.
Combined with the easy-to-handle semi-rigid face film, GF 222AE is designed to improve installation efficiency while delivering a clean, professional finished appearance.
GF 222AE features a matte white printable surface that minimizes reflections and glare compared with a gloss vinyl. This makes it particularly useful for signs, displays, decals and printed graphics where readability and a clean, understated appearance are important.
The white face film provides an excellent base for colorful printed graphics while the matte surface creates a smooth, professional finished appearance.
At 6.0 mil thick, GF 222AE provides more body than thinner printable vinyl films. Its semi-rigid construction makes printed graphics easier to handle while providing excellent dimensional stability during application.
The additional rigidity also helps resist stretching while the graphic is being applied, making GF 222AE especially well suited for signage, decals and display graphics where fast, straightforward installation is important.
GF 222AE features a clear permanent emulsion acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive for applications where a secure, lasting bond is preferred. It is designed for temporary interior and exterior signage and graphic applications with outdoor durability of up to three years.
GF 222AE is designed for professional wide-format digital printing workflows and is compatible with today's most common production ink technologies.
GF 222AE delivers the same general 6.0 mil matte white, semi-rigid and permanent-adhesive concept as standard GF 222 while adding an Air Egress liner for easier installation.
Choose GF 222AE when installation efficiency and air-release performance are important. For applications where air-egress technology isn't necessary, standard GF 222 remains an economical permanent semi-rigid printable vinyl option.
Both products provide the easy-handling benefits of a 6.0 mil semi-rigid printable vinyl with permanent adhesive and Air Egress technology. Choose GF 220AE for a glossy finished appearance or GF 222AE when a low-glare matte finish is preferred.
GF 222AE combines two installer-friendly features in one media: a thicker semi-rigid face film that's easy to handle and an Air Egress adhesive system that helps trapped air escape during application.
Together, they make it easier to move printed graphics from production to finished installation quickly and consistently, while the matte surface provides a clean, low-glare finished appearance.
USCutter offers General Formulations printable media for professional sign, decal and wide-format graphics production. GF 222AE gives shops that already rely on semi-rigid printable vinyl a permanent matte Air Egress option designed to improve installation efficiency while maintaining the easy handling, broad printer compatibility and professional appearance expected from the GF 222 family.
