What is Polyprint (also searched as "poly print")?
Polyprint Technology is a custom surface printing process, part of RSI Sports Group, that prints full-color, permanent graphics directly onto sports flooring, ceramic tile, aluminum, wood, fiber cement, and other rigid surfaces. "Poly print" and "polyprint" both refer to the same company and process — the name comes from the technology's origin printing directly on modular PP (polypropylene) sports tiles.
Is it spelled Polyprint, Poly Print, Poly Prints, or Poliprint?
All four point to the same company and technology. "Polyprint" is the correct brand spelling (one word); "poly print" is the same name written as two words. "Poly prints" is the plural form people search when they mean the printed surfaces or panels themselves rather than the company. "Poliprint" is a common misspelling — swapping the "y" for an "i" — that still lands people on the same brand. If you found this page searching any of those, you're in the right place.
Is Polyprint the same company as RSI Sports Group?
Polyprint Technology is the printing technology brand; RSI Sports Group is the parent company, one of Europe's sports infrastructure companies, based in the Netherlands and Belgium. Polyprint's first installation was a sports floor at the Paper Dome, and the same process has since expanded to ceramics, facades, and commercial interiors. See our About page for the full story.
What surfaces can Polyprint print on?
Sports flooring (PP tile, VersaCourt, vinyl), ceramic and cement tile, aluminum and composite panels, wood, fiber cement, acrylic, glass, and a range of other rigid substrates — see our full surface guide list for material-specific process and prep details.
How durable is a Polyprint surface?
Tested to 3000+ hours of accelerated UV exposure with no surface change, 6H pencil hardness for scratch resistance, and impact resistance above 60N in ball-drop testing. Real-world exterior lifespan typically runs 7-15+ years depending on substrate, coating spec, and cleaning habits — see our durability and care guide for what actually moves that number.
How do I get a quote from Polyprint?
Send the substrate, dimensions or quantity, and artwork through our contact page and we'll respond with feasibility and pricing rather than a rough estimate off a price list — see our UV printing cost guide for what actually drives the number before you ask.
What industries and property types use Polyprint?
Beyond sports facilities, Polyprint prints for hotels and lodging, apartment and multifamily communities, self-storage facilities, golf courses and country clubs, daycare and childcare centers, and a growing list of commercial verticals — each with its own durability and compliance requirements that decide the substrate and coating spec before the design does.
Does Polyprint (poly print) work with customers in the United States?
Yes. Production runs out of the Netherlands and Belgium as part of RSI Sports Group, but polyprint-usa.com exists because a meaningful share of inquiries come from US sports facilities, architects, and brands. The process doesn't change by location — send substrate details and artwork through the contact page, we confirm feasibility and pricing, and for larger or first-time orders we ship a physical printed sample before a full run. See our shipping and crating guide for how large-format panels travel internationally.
How long does a Polyprint project take from inquiry to installed surface?
Three phases, not one number: a confirmed quote usually takes 1-2 business days, a physical sample or proof adds more on top for color-critical or first-time jobs, and production plus shipping vary by substrate and order size. See our UV printing turnaround times guide for the phase-by-phase breakdown rather than a single average that hides more than it tells you.
