  • can checkered reflective be supplied on a roll?

    Posted by Dorian Marks on 8 November 2007 at 23:13

    For a supply only job we are looking to source some 4" or 6" reflective vinyl with a checkered pattern for the sides of recovery trucks. (Blue & White). Is there such a thing on a roll? Tried googling most of the evening but no joy. Anybody able to point me in the right direction.

    Mucho Thanko

    victory and grafityp both do it, costs an arm and a leg though,
    anyone with a gerber can do it, so maybe post in the quotes needed section, and inkjets can now print onto some reflectives.
    Alternatively, have you thought about making your own?

    We had a hard job sourcing some striping as well, eventually found a company exactly what you’re after.

    4" Blue/white stripe with 1" or 2" squares.

    thanks for taking the time to reply folks,
    well it appears that victory and grafityp stopped stocking this stuff, but your link is spot on rebeca, and yes P it does cost a bloody arm and a leg!

    i’d agree with Peter,

    i make my own, last one i did small (2" squares) chequers on was a 5m tilt bed, 6" wide, they wanted blue and yellow. for art i made a 2.5m x 150mm strip of squares, then reduced it’s width by around 10mm, then stacked four high with a small gap between them,, took me about an hour to cut and weed in blue, then mask and lay the blue onto the yellow, cut down between the strips and i had the 10m required, cost to me was around £40 tops. i’ve seen rolls of ready made cost more than that for trade !

    same goes for the cabs and vans really, just remember to cut out around things, rather than trying to ‘make it fit’,
