    They can be a good product to add to a general range of sign making or be entirely dedicated to.

    I used to do blinds a few years back when I ran a company owned by a blind firm. (Hardly do any now except for good customers instead of them going elsewhere).

    Few from back in 2006 before I went to a solvent printer.

    Did a lot of them over the years…some double sided digi-printed blackout too which does require a bit of time and care…

    Hi Dave, I’ve been manufacturing blinds for 20+ years, I was outsourcing the printing for commercial blinds up until 4/5 years ago, I then decided to take the plunge & buy a large format printer, since then I have steadily got busier (& better) with it. It’s now my main source of income, really enjoy the diversity of it, no 2 days are the same lol, done loads of weird & wonderful things with blinds over the last few years. Really like your pics, nice to know I’m not the only "blind man printing" lol

    Had customers asking for these but couldn’t find anyone who wasn’t charging ridiculous amounts

    HI Chris, i do the printing and assembly of the whole product at my premises, i send blinds out fully made

    morning martin, i print on several different materials, from sheer voils to heavy pvc blackout, these are all pre-stiffened fabrics for window blinds

    hello Jon, not sure i am allowed to post costs here but i do have a good few sign companies who use our products as an add on to what they do and find there is good margin in offering printed blinds to their clients.

    if any of you have specific requirements feel free to send a pm and i will do my best to help
    apologies if i have broken any board rules, i am fairly new to posting and may not be up to speed with whats allowed and whats not 😀
