Drytac to Showcase New Products and Live Applications at PRINTING United Expo 2026

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, Drytac will showcase new and award-winning products at Booth C1937 in Central Hall, with its materials also featured in live applications across more than 15 partner booths throughout the show floor.

Richmond, VA: Drytac, the leading international manufacturer of self-adhesive materials for the large-format print and signage markets, is delighted to announce its plans for PRINTING United Expo 2026. As Drytac continues its 50th anniversary celebrations, visitors will have the opportunity to experience new products, award-winning solutions and live applications across the show floor, highlighting five decades of expertise in adhesive science and coated media.

Taking place from September 23–25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, PRINTING United Expo brings together the global printing industry under one roof, with hundreds of exhibitors representing technologies and solutions across wide-format, commercial, packaging, labels, apparel and other key print markets.

Drytac will be located at Booth C1937 in Central Hall, with its team on hand throughout the event to help visitors explore applications across windows, walls, floors, retail displays, general signage and more.

Celebrating 50 years in business in 2026, Drytac will use PRINTING United Expo to showcase how its product portfolio has evolved to support the changing needs of the global print and signage markets. From established SpotOn®, ReTac®, Polar®, and ViziPrint® solutions to its latest product developments, the booth will bring together products for a wide range of window, wall, floor, retail and signage applications.

Among the highlights will be a special pre-launch preview of PrintDuo™, a 10 mil (250µ) white matte multilayered polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) film engineered for double-sided printing.

The adhesive-free construction makes PrintDuo an ideal solution for creating impactful two-way graphics, particularly for retail and window applications. It can be paired with Drytac’s range of clear window mounting films, including SpotOn® Duo, ReTac® Duo, and WindowTac™, giving print service providers a choice of adhesive technologies to transform double-sided prints into easy-to-install window graphics.

Visitors will also be able to see the new and improved Polar® Chrome, Drytac’s silver satin PET film and winner of a 2026 PRINTING United Alliance Pinnacle Award. Designed to create striking metallic effects, Polar Chrome offers print service providers an eye-catching solution for retail displays, labels, decals, events, signage and other high-impact applications.

Alongside these latest products, Drytac will showcase solutions from across its extensive portfolio, including its popular SpotOn, ReTac, Polar and ViziPrint product ranges. The Drytac team will be available throughout the show to discuss specific applications and help visitors identify the right material for their next project.

Activity will extend far beyond Drytac Booth C1937. Drytac products will be featured throughout the PRINTING United show floor at more than 15 partner booths, allowing visitors to see Drytac materials in action across a wide variety of printing and finishing technologies and application surfaces.

New for 2026, Drytac is also bringing the entire graphics production process to life with a start-to-finish live demonstration spanning the first two days of the show.

Beginning Wednesday, September 23, four 300 ft rolls of Drytac media will be printed live by Durst Group and Vanguard Digital Printing Systems at Booth C1614. The printed graphics will then be transferred to Colex Finishing at Booth C1337, where the rolls will be cut, laminated and finished in preparation for installation.

The process will culminate on Thursday, September 24 at the PDAA by Installation United Booth C450, where the finished graphics will be used to completely transform the booth during a live installation.

Windows, walls, floors, counters and other surfaces throughout the space will be wrapped using Drytac materials, giving attendees the opportunity to see the complete graphics workflow unfold — from rolls of media through printing and finishing to final installation — all within approximately 48 hours.

The transformation will take place during the Drytac-sponsored PDAA by Installation United Happy Hour at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 24, with all PRINTING United attendees invited to stop by Booth C450 to watch the installation in action and see the finished space come together.

“PRINTING United Expo is an important event for Drytac every year, but it holds particular significance in 2026 as we celebrate our 50th anniversary,” said Amanda Lowe, Global Marketing Director at Drytac.

“For five decades, Drytac has focused on developing adhesive-coated products that help our customers create, produce and install graphics with confidence. This year’s show gives us an opportunity not only to introduce our latest products, including PrintDuo and our Pinnacle Award-winning Polar Chrome, but also to demonstrate how Drytac materials perform throughout the complete production process.

“Working alongside Durst Group, Vanguard Digital Printing Systems, Colex Finishing and PDAA by Installation United, we will take four 300 ft rolls of Drytac media from printing and finishing through to live installation in less than 48 hours. Together with Drytac products being featured at more than 15 partner booths across the show floor, it will be a fitting way to celebrate 50 years while demonstrating the breadth and capabilities of our products today.”

Visitors are encouraged to make Booth C1937 in Central Hall their first stop to meet the Drytac team, explore the latest products and find out where Drytac materials will be featured throughout the show.
