The initial Sihl product offering through Treck Hall Wide Format includes carefully selected substrates that address key market needs across various applications:
QuickSTICK SLU Vinyl represents breakthrough technology in repositionable adhesive textiles. This woven polyester product has been enhanced for latex printer platforms while maintaining superb imaging quality on eco-solvent, light solvent, full solvent, and UV platforms. The durable front coating delivers maximum graphic definition with scratch resistance, while the removable adhesive ensures easy application and residue-free removal—ideal for short-term outdoor applications requiring durability and flexibility.
Rocket Photo Paper Series delivers instant-dry performance with bright white finish and high color density capabilities. Available in both gloss and satin finishes, this affordable photo paper achieves wide color gamut performance across all aqueous inkjet platforms, with specialized versions optimized for HP PageWide printing systems.
Performance SL8 offers multi-coated, weatherproof paper construction with high wet-strength and matte finish compatibility for solvent, latex, and UV-curing inks. This versatile substrate impresses with homogeneous printed images and excellent scratch resistance for demanding applications.
EcoBlock Paper provides 100% blockout, 100% recyclable construction in a 10.5mil C2S paper format. Perfect for point-of-purchase displays, posters, hanging signs, playing cards, and indoor banners, its advanced adhesive core ensures complete opacity while preventing curling and adding structural stiffness.
PosterBright Matte Paper delivers bright white 10mil photo paper performance designed for high-quality matte applications. The barrier layer construction eliminates cockling even under demanding ink loads, while the fast-dry matte coating provides rich, vibrant images with maintained shadow detail—an economical alternative for posters, advertising, and indoor signage.

PrimeArt offers premium weight, bright white, wet-strength construction with outdoor durability and excellent scratch resistance.
