    Does anyone have a source for a very high grab (like sticks to nearly anything) preferably cheap, white vinyl.

    Got another hoarding to do, and whilst my normal vinyls normally do last the course the adhesion is a bit poor (surface is as rough as) even if heated on.

    It’s got to last about 2-3 years.

    Cheers

    Dave

    Dave, I just recieved a price list and samples from APA
    They describe some of their vinyls as ultra permanent, and knowing how well the truck vinyl sticks it may be worth a call to get a sample

    You might also want to try Hexis as I know they do a super sticky digital as I have some here, that could be tried at a push.

    Worth a try I’d say.

    Cheers

    Gone with 3M 50 series after running a few test – it’s a good compromise between, initial grab, long-term & price.

    David,

    There is a polyprop material with a rubber adhesive on the back, it’ll stick to anything even shoe rubber or tyres, we make the signs on normal white pvc and laminate onto this material and the plot using the summa opos. It’s available from a uk supplier, I can dig the details out if you require.
