Europoint

Not bought foam for ages…

I know they do white in 1mm but thought ‘colours’ only came in 3 or 5mm.

I’m with David on that one.

Trust me, ive looked everywhere (so it seems) for 1mm Black foam before.

In the end we wrapped some 1mm White in Matt Black for a job once.

Hiya Everyone

Thanks for your responses…….I have tried Europoint – but they don’t do any foamboard in 1mm.

I have been wrapping the panels – the same as you Ian, but I have got hundreds of A4 size signs in 1mm!!!!! It is taking FOREVER!!!!!!!!
😮

I will keep looking around.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers

Just wondering if a flat bed printer would work…

Print direct onto 1mm forex?? Solid colour maybe??

[David Rogers]

Maybe try styrene / HIPS instead.

That comes in black…

You could try Amari or Robert Horne

Hiya Steve

Thanks for the suppliers – I’ll give them both a try.

Someone at Europoint is having a bad day! They definately do it we get it from them. We order from Glasgow but it usually gets shipped from Manchester, its about £6 or £7 a sheet (proper brand forex stuff)

I’d just cover them in black vinyl on an 8′ x 4′ sheet then trim it down with the javelin cutter.
