  Hi

  I would think banner vinyl which will stretch with the curtain. Normal vinyl does not stretch and will crease or crack. Banner vinyl is also slightly more adhesive than standard

  Unless anyone else knows of a specific material for curtains

  Do not use banner vinyl either.. it is not up to the job. You need to use proper truck curtain vinyl which some of the larger suppliers have… mind you it is not cheap

  Hi

  You would need to use ‘Truck’ vinyl. Avery do a range. I think its the 9200 range, also APA (UK) Ltd from Kent – 0208 311 4400 do a range. Cost Avery about £7.50 per m @ 610mm wide APA £4.50 per m also @ 610mm wide.

  I hope you find this a help.

  Regards
  Lee

  here is a post on truck vinyl. maybe a interesting read for you.
  basicaly banner vinyl is for banners, steer well away from truck curtains, if using this vinyl. same goes for regular vinyl on banners. 😉

  Hi Dave.
  There are 2 types of masking film i’ve use first is MACmask by MACTAC reference 84-817 and the other which we at present use is Eco mask made by Ritrama,I prefer the former.
  Also we use banner screen printing ink for curtain siders applied with a spong carfully working away from the edges. Hope this is of some help
