12. Reason why YUPOTako is so popular in Australia
Experience in Australia
Reason why YUPOTako is so popular in Australia
Curious
In Australia there are no competitors, which can stick and remove and stick again without any glue remaining.
There are some sheets which can stick with static, but they can not be printed by offset printing machine.
Advertising agencies and designers have been crazy for it.
Easy handling
There is no bubble during application, even if the shop keepers put it on the wall or window by themselves. Before having YUPOTako , they need to call the specialists to build up the big banners with adhesive. At the end, they can save their money.
Full support from Dalton Papers (PaperlinX)
