The plastic is usually 500 or 800 micron Clear polypropylene supplied
by Europoint, Robert Horne or Antalis -
UNLESS YOU CAN BUY AN OFF-CUT ITS PROBABLY CHEAPER AND LESS HASSLE TO JUST BUY THE FULL NEW SNAP FRAME… only cost about £12 i think…
I BOUGHT SOME (CAPITALS SORRY) of the face PVC from amari… had to guy a 2 x 3 metre sheet. transporting is easy as you just roll it up… -
cheers guys, i thought that it would be dear stuff to replace, a new frame isnt a bad idea because the wee turds have burnt it hit it and what ever they can do to it

The polypropylene comes in sheet sizes 1100mm x650mm
I’m sure you could get a full sheet sample -

Blimey, I came on here tonight looking for the exact same stuff and the first post I looked at in the forum index was this one.
Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange coincidence (hot)
While I’m here now though does anyone know if that clear Fablon laminating stuff is suitable to put over a poster to protect it in a sandwich board?
Cheers, Rick.

for a one off, no…
but drytac certainly have a lot of laminating products for posters and alike

Hi Matey, Long time no see. 1mm polycarb from Comco or Robt. Horne will do the trick. I’ll call in and see you soon.
