who supplies curtain side-vinyl?

Vivid

If your customer is having problems with peeling of the vinyl, then using truck vinyl is going to get to expensive. Out of the two available, Avery is more difficult to remove once it is ‘cured’ but the cost of this vinyl far outweighs ordinary banner vinyl. I think your solution is to either apply a paint mask (design dependent) and roller your text/image in screen ink.

Alternatively get them digitally printed.

This won’t stop the slashing, but if this is a problem can’t you use a different, harder substrate?

Thanks Lamby

Cost is main issue.. anyway they prob will be wrecked in 6 months so will use normal banner vinyl.

Cheers

steves right mate it is costly. another truck vinyl that isnt as costly but still not cheap. is APA.

i dont have details handy sorry.

regarding the inking of the banner. i have a couple of demos to load for sunday. one is inking a banner using stencil vinyl.
i chose to do this one because i have been asked about ink and banners. hope it helps some. 😉

Hi Tim

The Avery 2200 series, truck vinyl is about £15.00 per mtr for 5mts going down to about £12.00 per mtr if you buy 120m or more. Thats all the info I can give you. Hope it helps.

£15 a metre !!!!!!! What width?
The APA stuff is £4.50.(610mm)

I know there may be some differences technically speaking but isn’t that like very expensive.

I’d be interested to hear what peoples’ experiences of these two materials are. I’ve just quoted a curtain sider and would like some opinions on each.
