    Avery do a vinyl with a white face and a black back. It’s meant to block out light on illuminated signs but we use it on vans for completely obscuring anything underneath.

    I can’t remember its part number but I can have a look if I go into the office tomorrow (today)

    We get it from Cox Plastics.

    The vinyl corporation coulnt help John

    Its a white vinyl with a black back for total blackout of whatever the dign is covering up underneath

    sounds just what Johnchilds has posted about

    A lot of my customers wont have anything else so it was such a pain before christams to find I couldnt get hold of any from the suppliers I tried.

    Llyndy,

    Boy you have been busy on the forums haven’t you 😮

    JohnChilds is right. Just about any supplier should be able to offer you a ‘blockout’ vinyl. If you refer to it as ‘blockout’ they should know what you mean. Some suppliers are doing a grey back now too, it does the same thing, just it is not black.

    Do they specifically want black?

    Cheers

    Can’t find a part number in my book. It is just described as “Avery Blockout Film” and apparently comes with white or black face. I’ve only ever used the white.
