Printing and cutting of signage, labels, maps and high-performance phosphorescent safety signs

For many years, ARCO IRIS SAS has been developing and manufacturing photoluminescent signage for professionals in the fields of safety, industry, transport, public access buildings, tunnels, technical sites and public infrastructure.

We manufacture custom phosphorescent materials: photoluminescent signs, technical labels, safety plates, regulatory signs, evacuation plans, industrial markings and customised prints on phosphorescent substrates.
Our workshop produces substrates that comply with the main European requirements regarding photoluminescence, visual safety and harmonised signage.

Fully personalized manufacturing

Every project is carried out in accordance with your technical, regulatory and design requirements.

We produce custom photoluminescent prints on a range of materials:

• rigid PVC sheets

• aluminium sheets

• stainless steel sheets

• PVC vinyl adhesives

• PS substrates

• photoluminescent technical films

• die-cut substrates

We can manufacture products for both small batches and large-scale industrial production.

We tailor the dimensions, shapes, cut-outs and photoluminescence levels to your specifications.

High photoluminescent performance in accordance with ISO 17398

The quality of a photoluminescent material depends primarily on its ability to absorb and then emit light in the dark.

At ARCO IRIS SAS, we select professional-grade photoluminescent materials that can achieve different levels of luminance in accordance with the standard:

• ISO 17398

The most commonly used class in Europe is generally Class C, which is suitable for the majority of standard security applications.
However, our company is able to produce:

• des supports rigides atteignant des performances jusqu’à la Classe G
• flexible adhesive substrates up to Class E

These high luminance levels provide enhanced visibility in the dark, particularly in critical environments:

• tunnels

• industrial sites

• car parks

• technical platforms

• transport

• public access buildings

• evacuation zones

High-quality printing and standard colours

We produce photoluminescent prints:

• monochrome

• multicoloured

• technical

• industrial

• regulatory

Printing can be carried out :

• in high-density black

• in regulatory RAL safety green

• in four-colour process

• with complex graphic elements

• with logos and corporate identities

Our equipment ensures excellent precision in the reproduction of outlines, text and symbols.

Precision cutting and professional finishes

The cuts are made with great precision in order to achieve :

• sharp contours

• clean angles

• an excellent finish

• full compatibility with industrial and regulatory applications

We produce both :

• standard shapes

• technical sheets

• custom-cut shapes

• industrial labels

• adhesives with complex shapes

Use of 3M® professional adhesives

In most cases, we use professional-grade technical adhesives from 3M, including the product code :

• 3M® 300LSE

This high-performance adhesive offers excellent long-term durability and superior adhesion to a wide range of substrates.

Unlike standard, low-cost adhesives, this solution allows:

• improved mechanical strength

• increased resistance to ageing

• excellent edge and corner stability

• reduced risk of delamination

• improved resistance to industrial stresses

Whilst this technical choice involves a higher cost, it ensures a significantly more durable and professional finish.

Compliance with standards and regulations

Our products can be manufactured in accordance with the main standards and guidelines relating to photoluminescent safety :

• ISO 17398 – Photoluminescent performance and luminance

• EN ISO 7010 – Harmonised safety pictograms

• Directive 89/391/EEC

• NF X08-050

• NF X08-070

• Directive 2004/54/EC

Our teams can also advise you on selecting the photoluminescent properties best suited to your technical environment.
