  • Recommendations on a Substrate supplier please?

    Posted by Nobby Thomas on 2 June 2014 at 06:43

    Hi all, I am looking for a gloss finished (both sides) 3mm thick substrate to apply vinyl letters to. It is to hang in a window setting and therefore the light should not be able to pass through. Any ideas and supplier please.

    3mm composite has one gloss and one matt side. Flood coat the matt face with gloss white vinyl

    I have seen such a material but cannot identify it. Possibly an acrylic. It is white in colour and gloss both sides. Thanks for your suggestion Ewan.

    Not 100% sure but I think HIPS is available with a gloss finish on both sides.
    Suppliers, same sort of places as Chris mentioned.
