If you buy supplies at distributor pricing in one "company" you get to use it in the other, and since you're paying less for raw goods, charge less and therefore be competitive on price in the other company that's consuming the supplies.. Trouble is, it does not take long for manufacturers to figure out your game, and tell you to get raw good volume up or they're pullin ya. Nothing new about the technique, but they could be a little more conservative in the correlation of the 2 "companies" (and a bit more honest so the folks here dont tear em up!)

There's nothing wrong with having a different name for each branch of a company. I just don't like being deliberately misled.
If you're a sister of company of Loud Printing, why not say so?

Wrap vinyl is selling supplies. If that bothers you, just don't purchase from them. Get off your high horses folks, this is America!

Sounds like we have a parent company buying up suppliers and creating different divisions. This is great...except they wholesale materials to one group, printing to another and possibly installation to another. This sounds more like a big sign shop serving wholesale and soon retail. So I would look for a website that sells wraps, printed and installed at your location for $4.99 ft. Why not? If they can't sell enough wholesale, it seems natural to go after the next market in line. Looking a Louds posts, they are retail sales directives and pointers...they can use them too. It seems to me they have the money and market/sales ability to do it. Time to tighten that niche

Yes it's true but I fail to see why it is being viewed as somehow underhanded or dishonest. Lots of companies take different names for different divisions or product brands. I have five different websites. At each of them it is no secret that they are all owned and operated by Allied Computer Graphics but it isn't necessarily something that is the focal point of how each site is presented.

Procter and Gamble sells Crest toothpaste and Folgers coffee. Should we sit around and think them dishonest because of it? Jupiter Media owns Clipart.com, Photos.com and about twenty other vendors of digital art and stock photography. Bitstream owns MyFonts.com.

I understand the displeasure some may take with their banner ad for Loud Printing, but I fail to see what the problem is with an umbrella enterprise owning both Loud Printing and Wrap Vinyl.
