Hey everyone...Sorry if too lengthy...
One of my national accounts, believe it or not, was using non-laminated perforated vinyl for their entry areas, and have been doing so for years. I was purchasing online through B2 - and everything was going pretty well. Lately, the B2 quality hasn't been what it was for the first year or so we were using them. Seems like we were getting tons of banding, white flakes on the black area (not the perf punch outs, but missing print spots) and sizes coming in wrong.
I understand you get what you pay for and some of this is to be expected...but what this caused is the customer to look for an alternative, and I explained that these prints should have been laminated this entire time for longevity, ease of install, etc.
Here is my dilemma...I need to find a good, solid, wholesale vendor that I can use for either 60/40 or 70/30 perf with optically clear laminate. All of these orders come in fraction of sizes (ie 34.5 x 84.65) etc. and I really prefer being able to place an order online without having to email files, etc.
Does anyone have recommendations? I like Signs365, but 50/50 isn't going to work and I'm trying to get down to around $2.80 a square foot. 4Over offers the product at $2.77 per square, but you can only order it in whole number sizes and it ships direct to the client, so I can't trim down.
Thanks in advance!
