Common Questions

What standard sizes does VynEL™ come in?
VynEL™ panels are available in pre-cut strips, flow labels, and HD sheets. Common sizes include 1"×12", 2"×12", 4"×4", 4"×8", and 8"×8". Custom cut sizes are available for orders of 10+ panels, contact us to spec your project.
Can I cut VynEL™ to shape?
Yes. VynEL™ can be cut with scissors or a blade to any shape. Seal cut edges with the included edge sealer to prevent delamination and maintain waterproofing.
How does VynEL™ attach to a garment?
Three methods: iron-on heat bonding (fastest, permanent), sewing around the perimeter (most durable), or contact adhesive for non-fabric substrates. The iron-on backing is included on all Flow Label products.
How many panels can one inverter power?
One inverter can typically power 2-4 standard VynEL™ panels depending on panel size. Larger builds (full costumes, backlit signs) may require multiple inverters or a central power distribution unit. Use this planner or contact us for multi-zone projects.
Is VynEL™ safe for direct skin contact?
Yes. VynEL™ produces cold electroluminescent light, no heat output. It has been used in live entertainment productions, film productions, and children's clothing. The panel itself operates at very low current density and is biocompatible.
