Landor Phototex Peel-and-Stick Fabric consistently provides versatile and cost-effective sustainable solutions that transform how spaces are decorated, branded, protected, and maintained.
Certified to ISO 22196 standards, our protective coatings reduce the need for frequent replacements, minimize the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, and decrease maintenance efforts, all of which help conserve resources, energy, and reduce environmental impact.
Designed with both environmentally responsible materials and practical handling benefits in mind, Phototex offers a time-saving, energy-efficient alternative to traditional wall coverings, prints, and promotional applications that often rely on single-use plastics, PVC vinyl, and direct-to-print rigid substrates.
To further enhance the sustainability and protection of Phototex and other materials, Landor offers proprietary, industry-leading protective coatings. These innovative solutions are designed to extend the lifespan of Phototex and other surfaces, providing additional benefits such as antimicrobial protection, anti-graffiti qualities, and surface durability.

ISO 22196 Anti-Microbial Certification
Elinates and Kills forever Bacterias including MRSA and E-Coli.
Our systems of protective coatings that add Durability, longevity and liqghtfastness to prints have been developed and formulated to add additional protection to high touch surfaces. Whilst most notably vulnerable in healthcare facilities where the risks are at their greatest, what adds even more significant benefits and advantages to public and commercial premises is the ability to utlise Phototex as a protective medium in addition to a decorative or signage medium.
High touch surfaces that could otherwise be damaged with the use of traditional print, decor or advertising material can now protect the transmission of bacterial by utilising Phototex self adhesive fabric as the media, but also as a means to protect the surface from damage since you can remove at any time without damage to the surface. Phototex with Landor anti-microbial coatings protects and insures your high touch areas from the risk of damage when removed and acts to protect the surface throughout the life of the print. You can even adapt this protecive measure as a branding, promotional or advertising placement.
Phototex and our Anti-Microbial protective coatings can both protect the transmission of bacteria on high touch areas but also protect the surface from damage – making it an excellent bacteria protective surface!
