I use Brimark not sure if they are strictly trade only but service is spot on

Ordered 27 flat cut brushed ali dibond letters from Brimark, they came 4 days later with locators glued on, the female locators in a bag with a few spares, and a template which was in one piece, basically all you need.
Great service and price.
never used fabricut but can recommend Brimark for sure. -
Hi Have used Fabricut, Brimark and Tradesigns.
Fabricut come out tops, then Tradesigns and then brimark from my experience.
One of the best things about Fabricut besdies great price, service and quality is that when you get flat cut letters with VHB tape and a template you actually get a vinyl cut template to stick to the substrate so you can in lay your letters, the other 2 send a paper template which is pretty much useless.
Cheers

Tradesigns are useless when it comes to quoting things I have asked them several times for quotes and never recieved any answer back from them.
Brimark we have used alot and never had any problems with there service or price and will continue to use them

LOL, far from being useless a paper template makes perfect sense
I was fixing letters onto stained plywood, see if you can get vinyl to stick to that, then have to peel it off after you finish as you wouldn’t want to see it behind the stand offs.
Paper template = tape to building, drill holes through the marks already made by spikes on locators, and remove, then screw in the female locators and press letters on.Unless you are sticking flat cut letters directly to the substrate a vinyl template would be next to useless I would have thought.
I actually have 10mm letters stuck directly to my sign and used vinyl, but if using stand offs the vinyl would have been visible behind the letters.

you actually get a reverse cut graphic cut from low tack mask material works really wellKev

Fair shout,
the paper stuff still works a treat also though, so dont let that put anyone off. -

That’s correct and also what I said, I did specify if that if it was flat cut with VHB tape, the letters are reverse cut and it gives you a template to place the letters inside, a paper template is useless, paper is the obvious choice for stand-offs.

Well thats a bit clearer now, i thought you were just on about flat cut letters in general.
In that case I cut my own templates from the drawing I send anyway, -

In that case I cut my own templates from the drawing I send anyway,I used to do that too Steve until I ordered from Fabricut, I ordered a template and was planning on cutting the letters out of the paper to save a few pounds 😕 Anyway I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived with a vinyl template, I really don’t know why the others don’t do it but like you said it is simple and probably cheaper to do it yourself as used usually do 😛

I used vinyl on my sign as a template and taped the letters on, basically wrote the whole thing in vinyl and stuck about 120 letters on
