  • i need vinyl supplied at 8" wide logs who would do so?

    Posted by ConradWilson67 on 13 May 2005 at 16:52

    Does anyone know of a vinyl supplier which can provide me with the following:

    8" – Matt Black
    8" – Silver
    8" – Carbon Fibre Effect

    Any" – Reflective Red
    Any" – Reflective Silver

    Basically i’m looking for a company which has a vast array of sizes, colours & effects.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    give us a clue 8″ long wide what? I think you will have a hard time getting a supplier at those sizes, don’t think any one has made silver reflective yet. what do you want to do with it?
    and by the way welcome to the boards

    you will be hard pushed buying any of those at a standard cut log width of 8 inches. you could buy a solid log and have the supplier cut them into 8inch widths but not an off the shelf at 8inch.
    all the vinyls you require are standard sign making colours and types… but the carbon fibre isnt. you will need a specialist stockist for that.
    oh sorry, lynn is correct you wont get a reflective silver. your limited to black white and primary colours in reflectives.
    do you possibly mean metalic silver?

    i think any supplier will cut a log down but i think conrad is after individuals at 8 inches wide, off the shelf.

    Sorry, I was unclear in my question.

    The 8″ is in width and on a roll.

    The Any” is anything between 8″ and 24″ in width on a roll.

    I will give Hexis a call as suggested but are they expensive?

    most suppliers are round about the same price on your average every day sign making vinyls. go for the better brands you pay a bit more obviously. refelctive on the other hand is around 4 times the price of regular vinyl. metallics not that expensive but again, a little more than your day to day stuff. you pay for what you get basically.

    suppliers of vinyl
    Cox
    Hexis
    Metamark
    Europoint Display
    Victory Design
    Spandex
    ADP
    All Print Supplies
    Wm Smith
    Amari Plastics
    lots more but those are the usual suspects…
    shop around though… if your a newbie you will always pay top dollar regardless…
