  • Curtain side vinyl supplier needed please?

    Posted by David Rogers on 14 February 2008 at 08:40

    Done a few searches but come up blank / irrelevant.

    Can anybody remember who supplies ‘curtain sider’ vinyl (not banner) in a variety of colours.

    Thanks

    Dave

    Oracal supply a vinyl for banners and canvas. I cant find the colour chart now but it is designed to go onto flexible material. I think it is called Banner Film.

    Have you had a look at the agripa system. Got a great system that attaches to existing curtains.

    Thing is you CANNOT use normal banner vinyl for curtain siders & expect it to last more than a couple of weeks worth of opening & closing hence the specialist product.

    APA does it anyway & have a not bad colour range apparently.

    Last time I used banner vinyl on a curtain was 4 years ago…

    it was still there yesterday.

    cant remember the make, and I would only recommend materials that were designed for the job, but maybe some banner vinyls are better than others?

    Yes Peter.

    I fitted some graphics for another sign company a couple of years ago.
    They had used some banner vinyl from Dorotape and it is still fine now.

    I’m not recommending it though. 😕

    The thing is guys, that customers use their vehicles in different ways. A couple of my mine rarely/never open the curtains and so I could probably get away with banner vinyl. Others open and shut at every drop, maybe ten or twenty times a day and on those banner wouldn’t last a week. Whatever, I’m not taking the risk.
