Description
One-Way Vision — Branded Exterior, Clear View from Inside
Perforated window film is the rare advertising surface that works both directions at once. From outside, the printed face reads as a full-colour graphic — a billboard-style window advertisement on a storefront, a back-window decal on a vehicle, a bus exterior wrap, or a full building wrap. From inside the glass, the perforations let light pass through and the eye sees through clearly to the street, parking lot, or interior environment beyond. Same surface, opposite outcomes — and that two-way function is what makes perforated film the standard for vehicle window wraps, bus advertising, storefront promotions, and commercial building branding.
At Graphics Decal HQ we print Custom Perforated Window Film in Winnipeg on premium 70/30 perforated vinyl with full-colour UV-resistant digital printing. 70% of the surface is printable substrate (where your artwork prints); 30% is open perforation (where light passes through). The combination delivers a strong outside-facing graphic and a clear inside view. Standard widths sized for vehicle and building applications, with custom-cut sizing for storefront windows, partial vehicle wraps, and full building exteriors.
Whether you are a Winnipeg fleet operator wrapping rear windows on company vans and trucks, a Manitoba bus advertising program selling exterior media, a Canadian retailer running storefront window promotions, a property developer wrapping sales-centre and pre-construction windows, or a transit operator branding vehicle exteriors, perforated window film delivers the one-way vision advertising surface other window decal formats cannot replicate.

Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated window film and vehicle wrap installer — operated from our facility at 2095 Logan Avenue and trusted by Manitoba fleet operators, transit advertisers, retail brands, and commercial property managers for premium perforated window film production and installation.
Perforated film production has details that compound on the installed surface: ink saturation has to be calibrated for perforated substrate (70% printable area means colours need to render at higher density to read at typical viewing distances), perforation pattern alignment has to be consistent across the run (visible misalignment shows up immediately on a window from outside), and adhesive selection has to match the application surface (vehicle glass vs. commercial storefront vs. coated bus glass each require slightly different adhesive chemistry). We print on calibrated wide-format UV equipment with adhesive selection matched to your application.
We are a 3M-certified installer originally known for commercial vehicle wraps, architectural film, and fleet branding. Perforated window film is one of our core specialties — we install it on fleet vehicles, transit buses, storefront windows, and commercial building exteriors on a regular schedule, and we know the adhesion and visibility considerations that come up at install time.
For commercial vehicle installations, we offer paired vehicle wrap and rear-window perforated film orders so the full vehicle exterior reads as one coordinated brand surface. See our Custom Fleet Wrap for vehicle body wraps that pair with perforated rear-window film.
We offer local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg MB, ready in 4 to 6 business days on material orders, with installation scheduled across Winnipeg and surrounding Manitoba. Canada-wide shipping is available on cut-to-size material orders for clients with their own installers.
For a non-adhesive perforated film variant designed for inside-window application without adhesive bond, see our Inside Apply Perforated Window Film. For static-cling vinyl decals that adhere without adhesive on smaller window applications, see our Custom Window Clings. For frosted privacy window film, see our Privacy Window Film. For one-way mirror reflective film, see our Mirror Window Film. For commercial vehicle wraps, see our Custom Fleet Wrap. For the full range of window film products, visit our Window Film category.
