Clear films have a variety of applications for artistic purposes, from cutting stencils to direct printing or painting. Acetate and Mylar are produced in different ways and each have unique benefits:

Acetate film is really a specific type of plastic material called cellulose acetate. Because Acetate is made from wood-pulp, it has certain attributes that are sometimes desirable and sometimes something you want to avoid…. depending on your application.

    * Easily die-cut
    * Printable with conventional screen and offset printing methods
    * Available in Clear and Matte

Mylar is often used to generically refer to polyester film or plastic sheet. However, it is a registered trademark owned by Dupont Tejjin Films for a specific family of plastic sheet products made from the resin Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).
