  • Screen print or not?

    If someone asked you to make 50 to 100 eco flex pavement signs, pretty simple 2 colour design, not to much text, would you get screen printed or just go for it with the cut vinyl?? Actually, can you screen print to the eco flex’s??

    I was gonna ring sign waves tomorrow and grafityp. Grafityp list price is 33.60 less UKSG discount, should be able to negotiate something I reckon. (chat.)

    from a cost and labour point of view its going to be cheaper and quicker to screenprint. The only drawback is how long the printing will last, these type of signs take quite a bit of abuse and I can see them getting scratched pretty quickly (maybe a clear protective laminate?). Yes you can screenprint onto powdercoating but you have to be careful what ink you use.
