• EUROPOINT

    Posted by Peter Cox on September 27, 2005 at 2:40 pm

    Everybody seems to rave about Europoint.
    I would love to see what all the fuss is about and use their products.
    However, after calling them at their Manchester depot three times over four weeks for colour charts and prices for their products I have yet to receive anything.

    Perhaps somebody from Europoint reads the boards and would be kind enough to contact me so that we can start trading.

    Thanks in advance

    Go to Hexis- less hassle, huge range, dead friendly people and super dooper prices.

    They get stuff to me guaranteed next day even if I order at 5.30pm- and I’m all the way down south.

    Chris, I would have liked to fill in an application form but even that has not arrived. However I don’t see why you have to apply for credit to find out what products and prices they have to offer.

    The main reason that I wanted to try Europoint is because just recently I have been using Mactac Hexis and Avery and would now like to standardise – all very good but I thought that I would try Oracl as everybody seems to get on well with it as it is cast at a calendered price. The other thing that I wanted to try was their version of dibond as it appears to be considerably cheaper.

    there is an advantage of joining the UKSG in price etc. and all the forms are then available to you on this site.
    i have munched my way through a 50 mt roll of black in the last month 751 cast and so far so good but still no swatches to find other colours to buy there loss
    as a point EUROPOINT THE SIGNMAKERS WAREHOUSE wants to deal with me they have rung every week for the last 6 weeks there prices are good but they are not selling oracal.

    Dear Brian, are you absolutely sure you are talking about the Oracal range of products ?, before joining Europoint Display I worked at a sign manufacturing company for 17 years and when Europoint Display introduced the Oracal range to us we began using the whole range, and as they say I liked it so much I bought the company, well not exactly but I did join Europoint Display to sell the product. The quality is superb, the range is extensive, and the pricing is competitive.

    have to agree that the range is pretty extensive ! just got my 751 colour card thru and there’s loads on that one alone ! add that to the 651 etc and there must be a hundred and fifty colours !

    Steve, had to have a double take when i saw your name !! Steve Peet (mountain biker) has to be one of my biggest heroes !!!!!!

    Yeh I get the name thing all the time, I am actually a happy overweight (slightly), father of three with a beard.
    I assume you have the 751 calendered colour card, wait till you see the new cast version (due out soon), over 120 colours, all the original colours of the premium product plus colour matched to Mactac and Avery.

    Oh and all this for the same price as the calendered product, beat that if you can.

    it is the cast card i have, shed loads of colour, i was quite amazed really, not used the old 751, was / still am using 651 for the most part, but as everyone was raving about the 751c i decided to take a look, the sheer number and variation of colour, over the 651, is great !

    ps, re names…. just think of me eveytime i sign H.Potter, couriers think i’m having a larf !

    Your local branch will send new ones out, but they may not send the cards for the cast range as it has not yet been officially launched, keep your eyes and ears open for the up to date news on the cast version.

    There will be a few other manufacturers nervous about the impending launch of our cast product range.
