Arcade machine artwork must withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and harsh environments, making UV-resistant materials essential for longevity and color vibrancy. The most common types include:

1. UV-Resistant Vinyl – Widely used for its durability and flexibility, vinyl with UV inhibitors prevents fading and cracking.

2. Polycarbonate Sheets – These offer high impact resistance and UV protection, often used as protective overlays.

3. Acrylic (PMMA) – Known for its clarity and UV stability, acrylic is a popular choice for vibrant, long-lasting prints.

4. UV-Cured Inks – Specially formulated inks resist fading when exposed to sunlight, ensuring artwork remains vivid.

5. Laminated Prints – Applying a UV-resistant laminate layer adds extra protection against wear and environmental damage.

By selecting these materials, manufacturers ensure arcade machines maintain their visual appeal even in high-traffic or outdoor settings.
