Perforated window films allow you to extend advertising across both vehicle and storefront windows while still allowing visibility from the inside. Since it's also easy to work with it makes sense to add window perf to the products your company offers.
穿孔玻璃贴膜可以帮你扩大广告宣传的力度，它可以将广告贴在车辆窗户上和店面窗户上，从内部也可以看得到的。由于它的易操作性，可以将你们公司的产品图像喷印在玻璃贴膜上进行广告宣传。
Installing perforated window film, as with all vinyl films, starts with good surface prep and continues with simple steps for a quality install. There are also a few tips and tricks to make your use of perforated window film both effective and durable long term.
安装玻璃贴膜和安装所有乙烯基贴膜，都是需要经过良好的表面准备工作和后续简单的步骤，最终呈现出高质量的产品。这里还会为你提供几个获得高效耐用的玻璃贴膜的技巧。
Prep Work
准备工作
A clean surface is important with any vinyl installs. Be sure to use soap and water to remove any dirt and avoid using any window cleaners that leave behind a film. A final wipe down with a lint free cloth helps remove any dust or lint.
洁净表面对任何乙烯基贴膜安装都是非常重要的。确保已经用肥皂和水将污物都清除掉，避免使用任何会留下薄膜的门窗清洁剂。最后用无绒布将灰尘或线头彻底擦干净。
If the window is to be covered completely, I recommend over-printing your graphics—usually by a couple inches all the way around—over the size of the window you’re installing on. It's smart to wipe down the area surrounding the window too since the graphics will be slid around and adjusted for proper alignment.
如果窗户需要被贴膜完全覆盖，我建议将你的贴膜图案印得大一些——通常每个边都要多出几英寸——比你要贴膜的窗户尺寸大一些。将窗户周围也彻底擦干净是一个明智的决定，因为图案会下滑，还要适应合适的同轴度。
I highly recommend laminating your perforated film with a premium optically clear film laminate. It makes the material easier to work with, enhances the colors, protects against abrasion and eliminates the build-up of water and dirt that will collect in all the small holes.
我强烈建议将穿孔贴膜用优质光学层压制件卷成薄片。这样会使得材质易于操作、增强颜色对比度、防止磨损、消除会聚集在所有小洞里的水和污物。
Install Using Marks
安装时做出标记
I've seen a couple different methods for installing perforated film on windows, and I don't think there is any one perfect way to do it. I'm a big advocate for trying a couple different options and then doing what works best for your shop and your particular installer. That might be a completely different method than noted here.
我见过好几种不同的安装玻璃贴膜的方法，且我认为每一种方法都不是最完美的。我提倡多尝试几种不同选择，然后为你的商铺和特殊安装者选出最佳方案。那或许与这里提到的方案完全不同。
Both methods start out the same by aligning the graphics to the window, whether it's a car or storefront, using a couple pieces of masking tape stuck to each side of the graphic. The graphic is then measured and aligned to ensure text is straight.
无论是哪种方案，第一步都是一样的——将贴膜图案与窗户校准对齐，无论是车辆窗户还是店面窗户，用几片纸胶带粘在图案的每条边上。然后图案就会被测量校准以确保图文是笔直的。
With one method the installer cuts the tape on each side in half along the edge of the graphic, essentially creating alignment marks. The graphic is then removed entirely and the top edge is peeled back, about eight inches or so, exposing the adhesive on the back of the perf film.
其中一种方法是，安装者将粘在图案边缘的胶带数量削减一半，创建出校准标记。然后图案被完全移除，顶部边缘被剥离大约8英寸，露出穿孔贴膜的背面粘合剂。
If it's a large graphic then you may need the help of a second person. The graphic is then realigned using the tape on both sides. The exposed adhesive is then pressed into place at the center and you begin squeegeeing the graphics into place applying firm, even pressure with a soft or felt-edge squeegee overlapping your strokes, pressing from the center and out.
如果这是一个较大的图案，那么你可能需要另一个人的帮忙。用胶带将图案的每条边都重新校准固定。暴露的粘合剂被压进中心位置，然后你就可以将图案用橡胶滚轴压进合适的位置，甚至用柔软的橡胶滚轴从中心到外围将其覆盖住。
Install Taping in Place
将胶带粘在合适的位置
Another installation option is the method we use. Once we've aligned the graphics using tape, we leave the graphic in place instead of removing it, to expose the adhesive.
我们采用的是另一种安装方法。一旦我们用胶带将图案校准之后，就将图案放置在恰当的位置，而不是将它移除掉，暴露出粘合剂。
On storefront windows and vehicle windows that are more square or vertical we would put horizontal pieces of tape about six to eight inches below the top of the window with a couple pieces of tape vertically under the horizontal pieces to hold it in place. We then flip down the top piece, peel back the backing paper from the film and cut it off.
门店窗户和车辆窗户都是呈方形或竖直的，我们将大约6到8英寸的胶带水平地粘在窗户顶部下方，然后将几片胶带竖直地粘在水平胶带下方以将其固定。之后我们将顶部翻转过来，撕开贴膜背面的纸，将其剪掉。
The top flap is then flipped back up into place. The masking tape holds the bottom portion of the graphics in place and helps ensure that everything stays aligned. Once the top piece is flipped up then you do the same method as above by squeegeeing the graphics into place with firm, overlapping strokes from the center out.
然后将贴膜顶部翻转回原来的位置。标记胶带将图案的底部固定在合适的位置，以确保整个贴膜保持在校准的位置上。一旦贴膜顶部被翻起，那你就用上面提到的方法，即将图案用橡胶滚轴压进合适的位置，从中心到外围将其覆盖住。
With both methods you would start peeling back sections of the backing paper moving down the graphic installing with the same even strokes. If it’s a smaller window you could remove the backing paper entirely. On larger windows it's better to remove sections at a time. You don't have to cut off the backing paper as you go, you can simply peel it back and let it hang down.
两种方法都可以撕开图案上移除掉的部分，然后用同样的方法进行安装。如果窗户较小，你可以将贴膜背面的纸全部撕掉。较大的窗户最好一次撕掉一部分。你无需将背面的纸都剪掉，可以将其翻转回去，散落下来。
The nice thing about this option is typically one person can do the install, especially if the window is a little larger. Because the graphic is taped in place and remains there, your hands are freed up to do the cutting, aligning and squeegeeing in place without a second person to help out.
这种方法的好处是一个人就可以完成安装，尤其是当窗户比较大的情况下。由于图案用胶带固定在恰当的位置，那你自己就可以完成剪切、校准、清洁的工作。
Install in Vehicles
安装在车辆上
If we're installing perforated film on a horizontal storefront window or rear vehicle window, where the width of the window makes it cumbersome to do a top down installation, we change it up a little.
如果我们要在水平的门店窗户或车辆窗户上贴膜，窗户的宽度会使得自顶向下的安装变得难以处理，所以我们要稍微改变一下策略。
Instead of putting tape marks on each side of the graphic, we put tape at the top of the graphic on each side. The graphics are then aligned to be sure they are straight and centered.
我们将胶带粘在图案每条边的顶部，而不是在图案每条边上都用胶带做标记。然后图案就被校准在竖直中心位置上。
Once the graphic is positioned, I typically do a vertical piece of tape about six to eight inches in on the right side of the window. Because I'm right-handed I want to install a minimal amount with my left hand.
一旦图案被固定，我会将大约6到8英寸的竖直胶带粘在窗户的右边。因为我习惯用右手，所以我尽量不用左手工作。
Again I add a couple pieces of tape, this time horizontally, behind the vertical pieces to help reinforce my hinge. The graphic is also taped in a couple other places to hold it in place.
同样地，这次我将几片水平的胶带粘在竖直胶带的后面，来加固关键位置。图案也用几片胶带固定在恰当的位置。
Prior to starting to squeegee I add a couple pieces of masking tape along the outer edge of the graphic as alignment marks. You could also use a wax pencil to make the marks and then go back and clean them off. This is an important step to ensure your graphic is going on straight because the curve of the window can throw you off.
在开始用橡胶滚轴压制贴膜之前，我在图案外部边缘粘了几片胶带作为校准标记。你也可以用蜡笔做标记，之后再擦掉。这个步骤很重要，能确保图案始终在竖直位置上，因为窗户上的曲线会使得图案偏离中心位置。
Once my tape is all in place then I flip back the six to eight inches and cut the backing paper off. Use firm, even pressure; overlapping strokes; working center out, then up and down.
一旦胶带固定好之后，我将其翻转6到8英寸，然后剪掉其背面的纸。运用压力、覆盖等方式，从中心向两边，自上而下进行安装。
When that flap is in place and squeegeed down, it then acts as my hinge and I can start applying the rest of the graphic by peeling back a little more backing paper, exposing the adhesive. I like to hold the excess graphic up against the window to make sure that it is staying aligned to my tape marks while I'm squeegeeing the graphics in place.
当贴膜被固定在恰当的位置上，并被清洁过之后，我就可以开始其余的图案贴膜安装工作了。我习惯把图案做的比窗户大一些，这样就能保证，当我用橡胶滚轴压制图案时，胶带标记会保持在校准位置上。
Obstacles
障碍
Storefront windows and side windows on vehicles typically have minimal obstacles. Rear windows on vehicles often have a few obstacles to work around like handles, hinges, windshield wipers and bolts.
在门店窗户和车辆侧窗上安装贴膜几乎没有障碍。在车辆后窗上安装贴膜则会遇到一些障碍，例如把手、铰链、雨刮器和螺栓。
If it's at all possible to remove the bolt caps or windshield wipers then do so to make the install easier and hopefully seamless. Anytime you have to slice the graphic to work around the obstacle it becomes an area that will either curl or shrink in the future detracting from the overall look of the graphic.
如果能将螺帽或雨刮器移走的话，就能使安装工作更便捷，更有望实现无缝安装。在这些障碍物周围进行安装工作，你都要把图案切成许多部分才能安装好，这些位置的贴膜将来会卷曲或起皱，会使整个图案呈现出的效果大打折扣。
Unfortunately on some installs you simply have to cut a vertical seam. In this case be sure you cut a nice straight line, work the two pieces around either side of the obstacle and then butt the graphic back up to itself under the obstacle. You may have to make a couple small cuts horizontally at the obstacle to relieve tension, squeegee the graphic around the obstacle and do any necessary trimming.
不幸的是，在一些安装工作上，你必须将图案剪成竖直的两部分。在这种情况下，一定要剪成一条直线，在障碍物两边各放一半图案，然后在障碍物下面将两部分图案接合在一起。你可能需要在障碍物上做几个水平的小切口以减缓张力，然后用橡胶滚轴将图案压向障碍物周围，再适当地做一些整理。
With some obstacles you can make relief cuts over the obstacle that allow you to lay the graphics flat without creating a seam. For example, on hinges that come down from the top of a back window, I like to pull the graphic away from the hinge gently and make a vertical slice down the graphic with a sharp knife, making sure to not cut on the hinge itself. I also make small horizontal cuts at the bottom of the hinge too depending on how wide it is. This creates tension-free flaps that can be squeegeed right up to the hinge and tucked into place. The excess can then be trimmed off without having to worry that you would cut the area around the hinge too big, leaving window exposed.
你可以在一些障碍物上面剪出几个小切口，这样你就可以不用切缝的方式将图案压平。例如后窗上落下来的铰链，我习惯把图案轻轻地拉向距离铰链较远的位置，用锋利的刀具切成竖直部分，确保没有切到铰链上。同时我也根据铰链的宽度在其底部做了水平的小切口。这样就能将图案压进恰当的位置。然后就可以把多余的图案做适当地修剪，无需担心铰链周围要剪切的图案太大，会将窗户暴露出来。
If I'm able to remove the windshield wiper, leaving behind just a post sticking out, I squeegee the graphics up to within a few inches of the post and make a small slice just above the post.Using this slice I bring the graphic over the post, poking it through the slice, and then continue to squeegee the graphics in place. If you make the slice too low then the cut mark will be visible below the post.
如果我能将雨刮器移走，只留下一个突出的杆的话，我会把图案压进距离杆几英寸之内的位置，然后在杆的上方切一个小口。我将杆上方的图案穿过该小口，然后继续讲图案压进适当的位置。如果你在太低的位置做了此切口的话，杆下面的切割标记就会暴露出来。
Another common obstacle on vehicle windows is the set of bolt caps that hold some windows in place. If you're able to remove the bolts by unscrewing the nut on the inside of the window then do this first. If they cannot be removed then squeegee your graphics in place encapsulating the bolt head, much like you would a standard rivet on a box truck.
车辆窗户上的另一个常见障碍物是用来固定窗户的螺帽。如果你能将窗户内侧的螺帽拧下来的话，那就先做这一步。如果拧不下来的话，就可以将图案压进适当的位置，然后将螺帽头封装起来。
Instead of heating and forming the vinyl like you would a rivet, you want to remove the vinyl over the bolt. Perforated window film is not intended to be heated and formed like premium wrap vinyl so any heating and forming will end up lifting and shrinking quickly because of the memory in perforated film.
与加热形成乙烯基需要铆钉不同的是，你要将乙烯基从螺栓上移除。穿孔玻璃贴膜无需像优质乙烯基贴膜一样，要经过加热成型过程，因此任何加热成型都会很快地卷曲缩水。
Using the tip of a sharp blade carefully cut around the edge of the bolt. Take your time and move slowly to avoid choppy cuts. Once it's trimmed out then squeegee the graphics flat to the window, tucking them up around the bolt.
用锋利的刀片将螺栓边缘小心地进行剪切。慢慢地移动刀片避免剪切地不齐整。一旦修剪完之后，就可以用橡胶滚轴将图案压平在窗户上，螺栓周围的图案也要压平。
Trimming
修剪整理
Once your graphics are squeegeed in place it's time to trim off the excess. This may seem like a ‘duh’ step in the process, but poorly trimmed edges can cause some serious issues.
一旦图案被压平在适当的位置之后，就要将多余的图案进行修剪整理了。这个步骤在整个过程中好像是多余的，但是粗糙的边缘修剪会造成很严重的后果。
Not only does it look sloppy for the edges to be trimmed choppy, but edges that are not trimmed smooth and don't lay flat can begin to curl or lift, get dirt behind them and then start to fail. It's important to make sure the graphics are completely squeegeed in place.
边缘外观不仅看起来粗糙，而且没有修剪光滑，不能进行平铺，很快就会卷曲、沾染灰尘，之后就不能用了。确保图案被完全压进适当的位置是很重要的。
This is where proper cleaning during the first step also comes into play, especially on windows that have a rubber seal along the edge. Any loose dirt should have been wiped out along and behind these rubber seals (if they lift up) prior to installation.
在刚开始就进行适当的清洁也是很重要的，尤其是窗户边缘有橡胶密封圈。因此在安装之前，要将污物全部清除掉。
I like to use a squeegee with a felt edge on one side and a hard plastic edge on the other side. Once the graphic is in place I use the hard side of the squeegee just along the edge to create a visible line that makes it easier to trim to; this is typically on storefront windows where I want to clearly see the line I should trim to. Using a sharp blade, slowly trim the excess by running the blade along the edge of the graphic.
我习惯用一边是毛毡边缘、另一边是硬塑性边缘的橡胶滚轴。一旦图案在适当的位置，我就用硬边在图案边缘做出一条可见的线，以便于修剪；这是我想要在门店窗户上清晰地看着标记线进行修剪。用一个锋利的刀片慢慢地沿着图案边缘将多余的修剪掉。
On vehicle windows there is often a gap between the window and the vehicle itself. Once the graphics are all squeegeed in place, overlapping the edge, you can use the edge of the window as a guide.
在车辆窗户上贴膜时，窗户和车身之间通常都会有间隙。一旦图案被压进适当的位置后，将边缘重叠起来。
Make sure your blade is sharp before doing any trimming. I like to use an Olfa knife with just the tip of the blade sticking out. This helps me control the blade a little more and also ensures the blade isn't too long where it can slice the vehicle behind the window edge as I’m trimming.
在做修剪之前要确保刀片足够锋利。我习惯使用只露出刀片的爱利华刀具。这样我就能更好地控制刀片，同时要确保刀片不会太长，当我修剪的时候，可以剪切到车辆的窗户边缘。
Lay the tip of the blade along the edge of the window and poke through to get started. Angle the blade in toward the window running it along the edge to completely trim off the excess.
将刀片沿着窗户边缘平行放置，穿过边缘之后就可以开始修剪了。然后将刀片戳向窗户，沿着边缘将多余的图案完全修剪掉。
You could try 3M Edge Sealer 3950 to seal the edges of the window graphics for extra durability. Another option is using ½” strips of optically clear laminate applied along the edges of the graphics.
你可以尝试使用3M公司的边缘密封剂3950来密封窗户贴膜，以延长其耐用性。另一种选择是使用½”的光学照明条安装在图案的边缘。
