Lonestargraphics 0 Posted February 2, 2009 I have a customer wanting a sign made on the corrugated plastic. He wants a 45inx12in. I know I wont find one exactly that size probably but all the places I am finding that big require you to order 10+. Does anyone know where I can get a sign blank around this size where I dont haver to order a bunch of them? Please help I really need to get this ordered so I can get it made.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Lonestar, locate a local sign supplier to get a sheet of 4x8. I have one near me that supplies all the big sign guys and they sold it to me by the sheet. Then you won't have shipping charges either. It was interesting putting it in my Envoy but we got it in there. Unless you have a truck you may want to bring a knife w you to cut it down to size. I paid about $10/sheet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Lewis 6 Posted February 3, 2009 Yup, $10 bucks sounds about right for a 4x8 sheet of 4mm & $30 for 10mm... I have 3 local suppliers in my area... check around, hopefully you got one close by. goodluck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Core you just taught me something, I didn't know it came thicker and they didn't ask. I'll have to check into that. How do you decide what thickness to use? Say for sidewalk sign that you place the inserts into? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Lewis 6 Posted February 3, 2009 How thick was the sign that came out of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted February 3, 2009 It is new so I just purchased "coroplast board", they didn't tell me there is 2 diff thicknesses where I got it from. I'll have to see what thickness I got and if there is another available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Lewis 6 Posted February 3, 2009 I think there are a few different thicknesses, 4mm 8mm 10mm, as far as I know... Check out www.sign-mart.com they are one of my local suppliers, they do ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bayshorecreations 30 Posted February 27, 2009 Grimco is good for plastic blanks but they will not cut down for custom sizes. I needed to do 50 9x16 plastic signs for a customer recently and I had to get 4x8 foot sheets and cut them down myself. I couldn't find anywhere to get custom size blanks from.

tory 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Have you ever come across plastic blanks for office doors? I tried to view the catalog at Grimco but substrates is mixed up w another category. I looked on a few others mentioned but can't find anything. I'm surprised nobody carries them and everything has to be cut down. I only needed a couple about 8x8 or so, not real picky about the size.

bayshorecreations 30 Posted February 27, 2009 There are plenty of places that will custom cut aluminum blanks for you but not much out there for plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks, that seems strange to me with all the offices out there. I just wanted to do a freebie so maybe I'd get the font window too. I'll keep my eyes open as I don't have a way of making the edges look nice even if I did cut down a 4x8 sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cre8tiveCutter 7 Posted February 27, 2009 I have to wait for Grimco to approve my application <sheesh> the good thing is they have a store in NC so I dont have to wait a long time for delivery. thanx for the tip Dylan Renee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
