Air Release Pen

The Air Release Pen is designed to solve one of the most common installation issues - trapped air bubbles beneath film.

Whether you're installing a vehicle wrap, paint protection film, window tint, or large-format graphics, small pockets of trapped air can affect both appearance and long-term adhesion.

The Air Release Pen allows you to puncture the bubble with an extremely fine needle, releasing the trapped air while leaving only a tiny pinhole that becomes virtually unnoticeable after smoothing the film. Professional wrap suppliers recommend using a retractable pin rather than a knife slit for correcting bubbles because it minimises visible damage to the material.

Ideal for:

Vehicle wraps

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

Window tint

Commercial signage

Decals

Fleet graphics

Wall graphics

Printed vinyl
