What’s it called?

Posted by Martin C on July 4, 2003 at 11:05 am

I need some very flexible thin, card like plastic sheet to produce posters to stick on the side of an A-Board. 3mm Foamex is too thick as they will occasionally be used behind the magnetic Poster holder on the other side. A Vinyl print will be too floppy.

Anyone know who supplies it and what it’s called?

you could even try genotherm,

this is a white or clear pvc sheet,

it comes in the following,

140 micron, 240 micron, 480 micron , 700 micron, and 1000 micron

1000 mic = 1mm
480 mic = 1/2 mm etc

softer than hips
