    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any A4 sized laminate, it could be in a roll, but has to be fairly cheap, but good quality
    Im currently making up some helmet wraps
    They have to look really good, but its ok if they fade in a couple of months because they will be changed quite often
    I have a couple of companies that i will outsource the finished product to
    However I need my mock ups to look awesome as they will be the show pieces
    Im currently using this printable vinyl

    Many thanks in advance
    I will post up first mock over the next week

    Fairly cheap & good quality don’t really go together when you are looking at uv laminates, higher the uv factor the more expensive the film plus it will also depend on what inks & total ink coverage your looking for.
    I am guessing you are talking about some kind of sticker for the helmets as I doubt you would get a good finish wrapping a helmet with the stuff you have linked to plus A4 wouldn’t be big enough to wrap a helmet.
    Paper Graphics & APS both do aqueous inkjet laminates but don’t know if they sell anything at that sort of size. Worth a call though because if they don’t they will probably know someone who does.

    You might also struggle to get a core size to fit the machine.

    I had 100’s of SRA3 rolls, which had to be slit by the manufacturer.

    If you’re doing a wrap I’d have thought a cast vinyl and laminate would be better?
