  • suppliers please of 3M Reflective vinyl?

    Posted by Ryan Fairweather on September 27, 2006 at 1:56 pm

    Have been quoted £115 for 1 pair of 3M reflective panels sized 600mm x 130mm.

    I knew this stuff was expensive but my problem now is knowing what to charge the customer. I usually times my materials by 3 but this seems ridiculously high for such a simple thing.

    Any recommendations please?

    Basically the reflective yellow and orange chevrons rectangles that you would see on recovery vehicles/back of lorry’s etc…

    One side with the chevrons pointing to the right and the other pointing to the left, if that makes sense?

    still a bit baffled to what you mean i have done loads of chevrons and usually buy my rolls of 150mm wide at 25 mtrs and make my own, are you saying the panel size you are putting the chevrons on is 600mm x 130mm or is that the size of one individual stripe and 2 are costing you £115?

    sorry but need to clarify this to see if you are being ripped off?

    Sorry George, trying to attach an image but cant figure it out.

    The actual rectangle is 600 x 130mm in size and the chevrons sit within that.
    Alternating rectangles leaning to the right/left (45degrees)orange to yellow,orange to yellow etc

    Is this clear as mud?[/img]

    If you are talking about the legally required long vehicle markers, just buy them from commercial vehicle component wholesalers, much cheaper!
