Why we manufacture media and don't print — and why that's better for you
We make the media. You do the printing. That line is not modesty — it is the business model, and it has consequences worth spelling out.
September 5, 2026
Plenty of suppliers in this industry sell media and also sell print. We do one of those things. Faze 3 SMS manufactures and supplies 100% PVC-free printable media, and the printing stays with our customers.
What it means if you are a print provider
We are not bidding against you. When a designer or a brand comes to us with a project, the printing goes back to a print provider — usually theirs, sometimes one we introduce. Your client relationship is not a lead for us, and there is no version of this where we quote the job you just quoted.
What it means if you are a designer or a brand
You get a straight answer about material. We have no incentive to steer you towards whatever suits our own press schedule, because we do not have one. If nonwoven is wrong for your wall and peel-and-stick is right, that is simply the answer.
What it means for the product
All of our development effort goes into the substrate: coatings, dimensional stability, ink compatibility, consistency roll to roll, and removing PVC without giving up performance. That is a narrow focus, and narrow focus is why the material behaves the same in batch twelve as in batch one.
How the relationship usually works
- You tell us the application, the press and the inks.
- We recommend materials and send samples.
- You print your own file on your own equipment and approve it.
- We supply to your specification, for a project or on an ongoing basis.
