Chudimac 0 Posted August 24, 2018 I've been getting a lot of requests for items like attached. I haven't done signs yet so I'm new to this part. I assume some sort of plastic with vinyl over. I can't seem to find many options, information, etc. What material would I use for items like these? Can I paint a white plastic and then vinyl over our would I need to find colored plastics? Thanks!

Chudimac 0 Posted August 24, 2018 I wouldn't be doing anything in bulk so hand cutting is fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 24, 2018 Hand-cutting through Sintra PVC is not so easy (I have to rescore my cut lines several times to get through that stuff). Go into a local sign shop, ask them for a scrap of it, and give it a go. Let us know what you discover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted August 24, 2018 Are you trying to make something long term or short? Short term you could probably just use coroplast or something like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chudimac 0 Posted August 25, 2018 Yes, these things are just for one time use for a birthday party. Where do you normally but coroplast for the best price? Can you paint it or do you just buy it in colors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, can someone inform the Home Depot here that they need to stock it! The only game in town to find this stuff is at my one and only sign shop warehouse, and even then, they only keep white and yellow stocked in different sizes, any other color is in a full sheet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
