  1. Recyclable alternatives for Corrugated Plastic

    That's an interesting article. The pressure of a carbonated drink adds additional complexity. Even that product has a thin plastic liner and a plastic cap though. Plastic is a remarkable material. Cheap, strong, ultra versatile. There's nothing like it. But we need to find a better way to reuse it.
  2. Recyclable alternatives for Corrugated Plastic

    So the "Corogreen" material was kind of a joke based on my research. They added a cornstarch type product to the mix which helped the plastic break down faster in a landfill. This made the signs brittle and caused them to start falling apart while still in use. We decided against using anything...
  3. Recyclable alternatives for Corrugated Plastic

    Aluminum. Most paper products rated for more than just a few hours outdoor are impregnated with some kind of plastic, so they aren't truly recyclable. (mixed materials are hard to recycle) Generally, you can recycle coroplast anywhere that takes polypropylene (#5) https://search.earth911.com/
  4. Canon Colorado Supply Delays?

    Kind of, we are buying thru distro, but our stuff comes from Canon. The delays are definitely with Canon. I know this because Canon tells me the delays are their fault, they just can't seem to get it fixed.

  7. Vinyl Roll Storage

    We bought one of these systems at the SGIA show several years back. Love the system, but it's very hard to find here in the states. You take the rolls right on and off, no need to pull a 60" rod out of the middle of it. And NO, we have never had one break. You would think they would, but they...

  10. Need Help Where can I find Satin Cold Laminate?

    I have to agree with Bob here. The difference between matte and satin might not be hardly anything at all between two different laminate manufacturers. I feel like our matte is fairly satin on our decals we sell. There isn't really a standard for what Gloss, Satin, Luster, or Matte really are...

  12. Medium size flatbed printers

    If there is ANYTHING you can do to get up to at least a 4x8 flatbed, you won't regret it one bit. The 4x8 and larger are not all that much more money (Especially if you are talking about a monthly payment) but they open up so many more doors for you. In the mean time, please let us know if we...

  15. Exterior PVC Expansion and Contraction

    We sell a ton of 6mm PVC for exterior use. We find that the brand and grade can matter greatly. We stock 6mm Sintra specifically for this reason. Other grades don't seem to perform as well. https://www.firesprint.com/pvc/ Don't get Sintra confused with the Sintra Vers (That's the new name for...
  16. Canon Colorado Supply Delays?
