whats cheap and disposable that we can print on?

[gabagoo]

I have a request for a 2' x 39' banner that has a repeated logo every 6 feet, is held up with double sided tape and is generally tossed after the event. They are not sure the quantity possibly 1 -12 units.

Whats a cheap material to print on that can be technically disposable. I cant think of anything cheaper than a 10 oz banner for a digital printer.
any ideas? or more over how else could something like this be done?

Check with your distributor to see about a roll of poster paper.
Comes in different widths.

Might be best just to print them on a cheap roll of vinyl and just cut them down, but still I cant do them for under $225.00 each. Does not seem disposable to me. Even the paper option will cost about the same when all is said and done.

Not sure where you're getting the $225 price, I'm sure I'm missing something. I have to sub them out and my cost is 1/3 of that.

Have you considered roll banners? http://bannersonaroll.com/

My 13Oz matte and gloss is only $0.11 a sq.ft. If you had a latex machine you could print poster gloss for $0.08

Banners on a roll is great if you need a truck load of them. 1 - 12 units hardly qualifies, but thanks for the lead I will bookmark it for future referencing.

If I print them on a vinyl stock in house on my machine. after printing and cutting them down to size and then applying 39' of double sided tape along the top back I think my price is more than reasonable.

Absolutely, sorry, didn't mean to make that sound like you didn't know how to price your work. I misread that and though you were saying that was your cost.

Is it for indoor or outdoor use? That is a determining factor IMO.
