Thanks John,

It has helped a little, but I guess what I want to know is, does vehicle wrap have more felxability/stretch than cast vinyl or is it the same stuff?

I’m no expert Scott, but I think that the concensus is that they are different.

Yes, they will both stretch an awful long way, but the difference is that whilst cast has a low memory, wrapping vinyl has even less and is therefore less likely to shrink back.

Retaining opacity when stretched is another consideration, and is why wrap tends to be a bit thicker than cast.

Also, as Martin pointed out on the other thread, if they are they are the same stuff why would there be such a price differential?

That makes sense.

Do you know who the main manufacturers of vehicle wrap are?

hi mate..
johns brief reply is probably better put than one of my rabbling replies.. 😆

in my vew they are very different.. cast can be pushed & work well. although i wouldnt use one as oppossed to wrap vinyl.. this is just my opinion of course. 😉

sources for you in oz.. well KPMF is from the states originaly so that shouldnt be any probs to locate. MACTAC is another, i believe big in the states too. although manufactured in Belgium.

i would suggest to anyone, “buy in a few metres of each and play aorund with them. get a feel for them and decide what works best for you!
