Choosing the right self-adhesive film for a successful boat wrap

Which self-adhesive film should I choose to wrap a boat?

Why should I wrap my boat?

The use of self-adhesive film for boat wrap has become a key element in protecting and/or customising the appearance of boat hulls. To do this, it is important to use self-adhesive films that are specially designed to improve, protect and customise boats.

Self-adhesive vinyl film is the most common option for wrapping a boat. Our films are highly appreciated for their versatility, their durability and their resistance to the environment. SKINTAC films are available in several finishes: matt, satin, gloss or textured. In addition, boat wraps offer a number of advantages:

• Protection and preservation: Our self-adhesive films are made from durable, weather-resistant materials. If you apply self-adhesive film to the hull of your boat, it will be protected from UV rays, dirt, potential scratches as well as salt water. Indeed, with our films your original paintwork will be protected and preserved.
• Customisation and creativity: With our self-adhesive films, you will be able to customise your boat according to your tastes. Our wide range of colours will allow you to opt for a sober, elegant design or else bold, colourful patterns. Self-adhesive films can offer you unrivalled flexibility for customising your boat hull.
• Environment-friendly and economical: The use of self-adhesive films is less expensive than painting. In addition, avoiding paint allows you to reduce your environmental impact. Finally, self-adhesive films can be removed without damaging the original hull.
• Easy maintenance: HEXIS self-adhesive films are easy to care for. In fact, we have a range of products specially designed for the maintenance of gloss SKINTAC films: SHAGFINISH (SHAGRELOAD + SHAGSHINE) and BODYFENCE® (BODYRELOAD, BODYSHINE)
