When youre dealing with smooth and glossy surfaces like glass, bare metal, certain plastics and glassy laminates, protective film is the last line of defense between your products and the hazards of the outside world. This film can keep dirt, paint and other forms of contamination such as scratches and dings from affecting surfaces, preventing costly returns and helping the items get to their destinations, clean and blemish-free.

Surface protection film is a thin, self-adhesive covering that comes in a variety of colors and performance capabilities. Its purpose is always roughly the same to protect surfaces from any harm that may befall them, typically including dirt, scratches and contaminants like paint.
Surface protection film is temporary, with a high-tack adhesive on one side. That means once the protected item reaches its destination, the film is peeled away, leaving no traces or sticky residue. Protective film may be in place while an object is transported from a factory to a job site for example, or while that item is left in storage awaiting use.
Manufacturers can even apply protective film during the production process to ensure that vulnerable surfaces dont pick up dirt, scratches or other imperfections as they move along the assembly line.
