What vinyl should I use for this job?

Posted by Marcella Ross on 30 July 2010 at 11:17

I have a job fitting vinyls to glass. 30 windows requiring logos but need to be removed the following day. I’m looking for a recommendation for the best vinyl for the job as it’s very short term and I want something that will remove easy enough.

The colour I need to use must be a close match to pantone 2995C a light blue.

Any advice would be great.

Oracle orajet 3162 has a removable adhesive. Prints well and is well priced.

it’s not getting printed, they specifically want it cut in vinyl so I’m looking for a light blue vinyl Steve. 😀

631 exhibition grade vinyl seems to be the option I think. Just trying to get a vinyl that’s a close enough match tho. 🙁

firstly i think your biggest problem will be matching the pantone reference 🙁 but if i was doing the job i’d go for 3M 30 series 30-813 cheap n cheerful seeing its only on for 1 day the colours not a million miles out if you stand on one leg n blink 😉

Good advice John, you beat me too it!

As its for one day I’m sure ‘close as damn it’ will suffice!

Unless their paying primium prices!!

thanks guys ……. this job has me tearing my hair out. Not only is the artwork an issue (still unable to import the files into signlab) but then found out they gave me the wrong pantone ref. 😕
So I have the correct ref now and it’s a very dark blue, close to avery cobalt or oracal blueberry.

Happy days, I’ve spent an enitre day and evening messing around with these files and getting nowhere. 😥

Ritrama and Aslan 24in Gloss Vinyl Dark Blue from MDP Grangemouth, next day if ordered before 6pm, good luck sounds like a fun filled job
