With Grimco slowly buying out all of it's competitors, the latest being Denco (my main supplier and before that Midwest) I am having trouble buying certain vinyls by the yard. In many cases, I can justify buying larger rolls. I have jobs that just cannot justify buying larger rolls that will sit on the shelf for who knows how long. Currently, I need 15" punched 280 reflective black and need a little less than 5 yards. In this case, I am printing with an Edge printer. I have a large format too, but it will not print this type of job. Who else out there might sell by the yard or 5 yard roll? I hate not having choices. Any other sources out there? I am based in southern Colorado. Thanks

I thought fellers still sells stuff by the yard. You could check there.

rVinyl is one of the few that sells small lengths of vinyl. Not by the yard, but they so have small quantities like 2 yards in many vinyls. https://www.rvinyl.com/Reflective-Sign-Vinyl
Other than that, build a price for a 10yd roll...

TCT sells everything by the yard or foot, and their pricing is a million times better than ND

Check GSG
However, if you find that you HAVE to buy more than you need PASS the EXTRA cost to your customer. Simple enough. Also explain that to your customer as well.

What I was after specifically was 15" punched 280 reflective in black. My portal only offers 10yd min. I was thinking about calling in to them this morning. Thanks for the research though.
Unfortunately, this is a one off for the police chief's vehicle and it does not use that much vinyl. I considered it, but felt the markup was a bit high for one of my bread and butter clients.

Have you tried GSG?
It looks like they sell by the yard (we don't have an account, so did not verify).

I'm on the western slope, and we've started using Spandex out of Salt Lake City for some stuff. They offer 280 by the yard. Link here.
We have a winner! I called and they are good to go. Thanks and have a great day.
I will look them over too. Always good to have a few more vendors in today's climate. Thanks!
