The resistance of a film or substrate to lateral or side-to-side stress, or the tendency of a film to maintain its original dimensions. For example, vinyl is flexible, but has a tendency to expand and contract when exposed to changes in temperature. Polyester is more rigid and is more dimensionally stable. Understanding of the dimensional properties of every component in a finished graphic is critical to its performance. Read more at Section 8: Selecting Materials
