⚠️ These films have a Cap Sheet on top

Some Omega-Skinz films are protected by a PET Cap Sheet — a transparent protective layer placed on top of the vinyl.
This Cap Sheet shields the surface from scratches, dust, and fingerprints during production, packaging, and installation prep.

Before starting your wrap, always remove the Cap Sheet to reveal the true finish of the film. Skipping this step will affect adhesion and appearance — and might leave even the best wrappers looking like “wrap zombies.”

Why the Cap Sheet matters

  • Protection during storage and transport
    A Cap Sheet is a thin, transparent PET layer that shields the surface from scratches, dust, and pressure marks during production, shipping, and handling.

  • Preserves the visual finish
    Especially for high-gloss, metallic, and premium carbon-look films, the Cap Sheet keeps the surface untouched until installation — ensuring a flawless, “factory-fresh” look.

  • Improved cutting and processing
    The Cap Sheet can make plotting and cutting easier by reducing static and improving visibility of cut lines — especially when cutting Paint Protection Films (PPF). *
  • Prevents deformation or micro damage
    Without a Cap Sheet, films are more vulnerable to pressure marks, warping, or micro-scratches before application — which can compromise the surface quality.

* Cutting and handling tips for films with a Cap Sheet

When cutting Paint Protection Film (PPF), it’s best to keep the Cap Sheet on (for gloss films) during the cutting process.
The protective layer prevents the blade from cutting into the PPF while transporting and helps the film glide smoothly through the plotter.

The Cap Sheet also keeps the material from sticking together inside the plotter’s catch basket during feeding and rewinding.

Once cutting is complete, the Cap Sheet must be removed immediately.
Always make sure that rolls with a Cap Sheet remain tightly wound at all times to prevent tunneling — a condition where the Cap Sheet starts lifting in certain areas.
If the film is rewound while tunneling has occurred, permanent lines or impressions may appear on the surface.

To avoid this, always keep the roll tight during handling — use several pieces of tape if necessary — and store it carefully before use.

Here you can see an example of tunneling — and that’s a serious problem.
