20 Years - Manufacturing (Samples)

With over 20 years of manufacturing POP plastic profile extrusions, RDC/Cytex has compiled a library of over 2,000 extrusions, hundreds of coextrusions and a wealth of experience in creative retail solutions. As we are the manufacturer, there is no chance of miscommunication occuring as you are not dealing with any middle man. There is no time delay caused by waiting for the middle man to contact their vendor. You are dealing direct!

The following is a brief glossary of definitions explaining the different profile extrusions in layman’s terms. The corresponding images provide a diagram of a very basic example.
