ProGrip

ProGrip is a co-extruded film with a slightly embossed surface on one side and a tacky surface on the other side. It is an ideal backing material for any application which requires a non-skid surface. It is also ideal for the construction of mouse pads, countermats, and placemats using American Profol’s ProTuff® as the over-laminate film. Printing can be done on either the ProGrip or ProTuff material prior to lamination.
