• Odd rolls of vinyl FREE

    Posted by Chris Windebank on December 5, 2009 at 10:57 am

    Just had a clear out and am getting rid of about 50 rolls of vinyl free to whoever wants them. Some Aslan, some Oracal 751, some banner all 610mm. Not much on rolls, between 0.5m and 3m at a guess. Would suit someone new to the industry
    pm for details
    Collection only and based in hertfordshire
    Also 10m of paper on a roll for printing or use with pen on a plotter
    Various etch and window films too

    mod-edit

    We do that Martin.

    But there’s only so much sticky back plastic that our village school can use, so we have to look for another outlet occasionally.

    The same applies to roll cores.

    I can never work out why the likes of europoint (sorry, RH) don’t want cores back, i can’t give any more away and usually have loads kicking about. other than white or black, most people i know just buy 10m or so of what they need or want in stock, so i would have thought cores would be hard to come by in a warehouse which decants 1x 50m roll onto several cores.

    Hugh, when I was working full time I would have been very grateful if Europoint had taken them back to reuse, most of the time they were still in perfect shape and although I gave what I could to local groups I still found myself throwing away a lot of them which seemed like a real waste.

    i have seen the tubes selling on auction sites, people pay for them if you can be bothered with that. I found them when i did a search for postal tubes. I have used them to post things in as they are quite strong but also quite heavy unfortunately.
