What width roll? 600mm?

30 Series will be fine for the application you’re looking at, however I should point out that it is a monomeric calendered vinyl and is therefore suitable for flat applications only (which is what you’re stating anyway) – 3M class this as a 5 year durable product, however as with all monomeric vinyls they will be prone to shrinkage over time.

If you’re worried about this you should consider a polymeric calendered vinyl which will be good for up to 7 years for Black, will be more dimensionally stable, flexible, softer, easier to cut and weed and allow application over slight curves as well as flat areas. Obviously this means the product is more expensive than a monomeric but gives more peace of mind if you’re requiring a longer lifetime out of your graphics.

Hi Ian

Thank you for the order – I am sure the 30 series will work fine for you – yes the 50 series is quite a bit more in % terms compared to 30 series but in real terms around 10p per sq ft more expensive, so depending on the size of graphic on the vehicle may only cost a couple of pounds more per vehicle but with more peace of mind.
