Where to buy vinyl and supplies online ?

[Nobby Thomas]

You will get loads of hits from this thread mate, I use Cherwell Sign Supplies in oxford way, I will get the number to you when I find it, or look under google.

Prompt delivery, friendly voice at the end of the phone and good products all round. What more does one need

can`t you get them from Robert……..

I had a look on Roberts shop and there was a good range of vinyl, but not somewhere I can get everything in one go without having to pay multiple lots of postage.

As I dont really know exactly what I need, a site that I can browse would be good, also preferably one with online ordering so I dont have to phone up to get catalogues before ordering etc….

I`ve yet to find a supplier that sells the lot.

You`ll have to buy from at least 2 or 3 suppliers to get certain items/brands.

I buy vinyl from 1-2 supplier, app tape from another, edge carts from another .etc. etc.

But it all depends upon what you`re doing.

As Becky said ….. Yet to find one supplier that can supply everything!?

But to be honest we wouldn’t really want to stick all our eggs in one basket, we regularly use a few suppliers and cover the carriage charges in the vinyl price which is passed onto the customer. 😀 Suppliers can let you down no matter how much they tell you they won’t so to have back-up suppliers that you have experience with is a good option for us.

Thanks, OK so Robert looks like a good bet for the standard vinyls – what I could use is some recomendations to buy online :

App tape
Squeegees
Weird vinyl – stuff like neon, carbon fibre look, pearlescent – the sort of fancy effect stuff so I can experiment

thanks, I just found mastergrave who seem OK for some supplies and have contacted Metamark as they have some nice looking neon and carbon things – dont know what the quality is like, but as its only for experimenting and getting used to the cutter it should be OK.
