    cox plastics do pantone matched vinyls.

    if something has to be an exact match then you will need it flood coated.
    to do this you will need to buy a minimum amount and comnes only in 320 wide i think. the problem with flood coating is it fades, so doenst matter how good a life the vinyl has the colour is short lived.

    an alternative is to have custom made vinyl to match exactly.
    cox offer this service but i found europoint to be cheaper and faster with oracal cast match. even though faster i waited about 10 days and you also have a minimum order of 5 full 48inch wide rolls at 50mtrs

    I have been told that does not have to be exact, but close match will do!

    If i call Cox’s will they give something close? This is not an area we get involved with to often, does it show lol

    Vince, if you give Spandex a call they can despatch part rolls of Pantone matched vinyl from the Avery range (about 150+ colours and growing) and they seem to have most of it in stock too.
