I'd appreciate a recommendation on a decent Vinyl and Lam to use for real estate signs. I've been using the inexpensive Orafol 3640M vinyl and still havent quite figured out which lam to use. I'm happy to upgrade vinyl material and hear out what your recommendations are. I am not sure if I need anything super high-grade like for vehicle wraps, but I could be wrong. I'm printing using an eco-sol printer and laminating by hand using a mechanical/manual laminator roller (business hasn't grown to where I can afford an electrical laminator yet). Any help and advice is appreciated!

Substance.com has a good combo of vinyl and lam

Anything cheap will work for 98% of realtors, as they want everything for nothing anyways

Just call me Chester.
We use Arlon DPF 510gpt white vinyl and 3510g laminate all day for RE signs.

Since realtors always like deals, I give them the option of waiting and I send them out to firesprint to print. I make them buy in bulk in order to do it.
24x36 signs are a decent price through firesprint.

Use the cheapest laminate you can find. In my experience they change brokerages before they can get full use out of their signs.

Doing political signs is good money as long as you are paid in full before doing any work

Do you guys get burnt on those types of signs a lot?
They are our most reliable customers. Tons of yard signs, banners, and bumperstickers. I cannot remember ever having a problem with payment. Insane due dates galore, but they are always willing to pay extra for the RUSH.

we do a GF203 with a matching matte lamination (can't remember which one it is, it's $240+ per roll for a 54x150) or sometimes use Oracal 210 matte lam for our PVC real estate inserts (3mm pvc) and double sided for sale signs (6mm pvc).
I'm making ACM and aluminum signs for the hanging sign panels. I assumed it was good to laminate ALL outdoor signage, even corrugated. Is that not the case? Thanks for the tips, i'm still learning!
I agree! Same goes for the Real Estate signs

Thanks! I'll try this
Thanks for this, i've seen them recommended a lot on here. I'm going to order a roll from them. I've heard nothing but great things.
Maybe once my shop grows more! I was in the executive department of the largest real estate company in the US, 90% of my business relationships over the past 10 years are with brokers and realtors, so i can't afford to not do it at the moment haha. Maybe as I grow, I can expand into other industries. I figured I would stick with this niche since thats where I know the most people.
Is it good yes but not always needed. Especially with corrugated signs which are meant for temporary use. Coro will give out faster than vinyl so laminate is just a waste of time and money.
