FAQ category
Window Film and Window Graphics
Does Lux produce custom window film?
Yes. Lux produces custom printed window film for storefronts, offices, conference rooms, interiors, retail campaigns, privacy applications, and branded glass surfaces.

What is the difference between printed window film and perforated window film?
Printed window film is typically used when the graphic appearance, privacy, or design treatment is the priority.

FAQ category
Artwork, Files, and Production Requirements
