Source for vinyl for small projects

[gnubler]

I just checked - Grimco sells by the yard here in the States too....

Which materials? I've only ever seen a 10 yard minimum.
Fellers sells by the yard, but half the time they don't have what they offer on the website.

I was going to say "every item I checked" - though it seems this was mostly the 3M products... looking a little more, it seems all the 3M and Avery are sold in 1 yard lengths, but the Oracal is by 10 yard....

Hello,
I have a few small vinyl wrapping projects that I want to do as I work up to wrapping a boat. Can you recommend sources for vinyl wrap that are reputable and offer reasonable pricing? It looks like a lot of the online places want you to create an account and login for pricing and I wasn't sure if that was worth doing with multiple vendors just to get pricing. Are there sponsors of this forum or preferred vendors I should start with? Thanks

FWIW specialty-graphics.com sells smaller cuts of vinyl materials, including cast by the foot. I've ordered plenty of oddball stuff from them over the years and never had any issues.

you are an idiot. I just counted 12 helpful posts to the OP's question. You have not helped them AT ALL. Not one suggestion from you to answer their question.

rvolk......... you're a riot. Really. You get all riled up and a week later, you join in all over again with your rhetoric which is grossly outta whack and try to add fuel to a fire long gone. You must be one unhappy little designer.

WOW, I am a sign professional and have been for about 12 years, I had to learn the majority of what I know by trial and error. It's been very difficult and still is. It helps to know there is a place to go for advice and help where others have more knowledge and experience. I have to say I even feel intimidated posting questions on here because of the nastiness that sometimes surfaces. I certainly don't feel very comfortable contributing because I feel someone here will make a comment to make me feel stupid. I think some folks get off on doing that. Isn't there enough of that in this work and in politics now days, does it have to be here as well?

Did you have a suggestion for the OP about small amounts of vinyl?
Or is this thread going to be all about our feelings about other peoples comments? C'mon. There are enough feelings police now adays, does it have to be here as well?

And my point is proven. We are people, human beings. I believe we are programmed with feelings from birth, no way around that, unless you are a robot.

This can be a salty bunch - none of the descriptions I have seen say otherwise. Please feel free to use your agency to research and read through a few posts before deciding to post or not....

To the OP: search for your local suppliers, as said, Grimco will work... for the "pro-sumer" or regular consumer, or even the hobbyist hack - Amazon will be your friend for small quantities just do not compare to the wholesale prices for whole rolls. When you grow large enough to buy rolls and realize that the trim just goes in trash and is a business expense, NOT ANOTHER PROJECT!! Then buy from wholesalers....

Attitude begets attitude, whether it's beligerance in capital letters, or what reads as snooty superiority.
A professional keeps their feelings out of it.
I just remembered a random thought I had today... Being offended is a choice, and a person should not blame anyone else for their choices.
