Squeegees & Scrapers

Squeegees and Scrapers for Precise Vinyl Application

Squeegees and scrapers are essential tools for anyone applying vinyl graphics, wraps, films, or laminates. Whether you’re working on signage, vehicle wraps, window films, or floor graphics, the right hand tool can make all the difference when it comes to accuracy, speed, and surface finish.

At ATC, we supply a comprehensive range of professional-grade squeegees and scrapers suitable for signmakers, installers, and print professionals. From soft edge felt squeegees to firm edge plastic blades, every product in this category has been selected to support smooth, bubble-free application on a variety of surfaces.

Vinyl Application Squeegees

Vinyl squeegees are designed to help press down adhesive films evenly while reducing the risk of creases, bubbles, or lifting edges. They allow controlled pressure distribution during application, which ensures secure adhesion to the substrate. Depending on the project and film type, different hardness levels and edge profiles may be preferred. ATC’s range includes both soft and firm squeegees. Soft felt-edge options are ideal for delicate surfaces and films that scratch easily, such as metallics or gloss laminates. Harder plastic squeegees offer more pressure for tougher materials or for use in colder temperatures where film stiffness increases.

Some squeegees are designed with built-in handles for greater control, while others are flexible enough to reach tight corners or irregular contours – particularly useful when working on complex shapes or curved surfaces like vehicle bodywork.

Scrapers for Cleaning and Film Removal

Scrapers are used for surface preparation and film removal. Before applying any new graphic or vinyl, it’s important to remove old adhesive, labels, or debris that could affect bonding. Scrapers help remove stubborn residue quickly without damaging the substrate, ensuring the new film applies cleanly and securely. We stock handheld scrapers with replaceable blades and ergonomic handles for comfortable use during longer jobs. These are ideal for glass, metal, painted panels, or any smooth surface where residue or old vinyl needs to be lifted. For larger or more intensive removals, wider blade scrapers are available for increased efficiency.
