Hi, I purchased 3 different types of bagging material from you a couple of years ago, now I can't identify what their specific application is cause your product codes have changed. What I have is VBF152 (blue), VBFEL (green), VBRF (green). Can you clarify?  I noticed the VBFEL is probably 'elastic', it however sticks firmly to the prepress after curing....Thanks for helping Alexander

Some of the colours don;t seem to match.  VBF152 was our standard vacuum bagging film which is a 1.52m wide lay flat tube.  You can tell the elastifilm apart from it is it has a semi-gloss finish, is a slightly different shade of green and is NOT a lay flat tube - plus it feels a lot more stretchy.  The Elastifilm does not have good release properties.  Our older release films were available in perforated or unperforated and both were blue.
