I have a color chart and sample booklett type thing with all the colors.
I also got a sample card with all the colors of the alum they carry also..

we basically have done business with both Sign Mart and Ordway for years.. and both companies treat us really well..
I cannot say enuff good stuff about either of these companies.

Just to add my .02, Weve been in biz for about 5 years now & Oracal is what I would recommend. I have signs in Arizona & up north & dpending on the type of Oracal, it'ss last a long time. My deal is if it moves I use 751, if it's stationary I'll use 651.

For what its worth, ive just started cutting vinyl for car decals and got some rolls from a friend who's been doing it years, he only uses Oracal 651.

Im interested to know more about the tape though. Im just using masking tape at the moment, but clear tape sounds better, is it expensive?

Boro.. are you using actual masking tape or the app. tape that looks like it..
I use clear when im selling printed decals to customers.. But find the clear tape for application purposes not as easy or good to use when doing applications of cut vinyl..
just my 2 cents

Actual masking tape, lol. Its all i had to hand at the time. And its only 1" wide, so needs alot to cover an A4 sheet of stickers.

Im still at the point of buying materials, so any advice on tape would be very helpful. I like the sound of clear tape.

For autos I use Oracal 651 Cut with your cutter but do not reverse the image

As far as app tape goes

Paper tape with med tack works great for most application wet or dry

Clear is best for retail sales so your customer can see the decal

I order alot from Fellers - Ask for free shipping if you order more than $75

OMG don't use masking tape, you'll have a big mess. I recommend perfecTear or R-Tape paper tape. Clear tape is nice for multicolor dry apps, but any wet apps you will want paper tape, but NOT MASKING TAPE.

We started using the clear tape for applying vinyl to tiles and boards and it works great...along with window decals so the customer can see the image.

However, when I tried to use it to put up some more sings on our store window...it didn't work as well as the paper tape I used before.

rof.. I have it in every color in both 15 inch and 18 inch rolls.. so i know the stuff well .. lol.
Hello! New to this site but already found out a world of information! Thanks to all!

One question though...looking at the Permagloss vinyl at sign mart, can you get the 15" permagloss unpunched? Looking at the website you cant really tell how to specify.

Thanks in advance!

Matt

I do business with Sign Making, Sign Supplies, Vinyl Cutters, Sign Cutters, Vinyl Banners, Wide Format Color Printers, Laser Engravers. I have not had any problems with them and they will throw in small application tools from time to time with my orders. I have just recently started using oracal vinyl for creating wall quotes. Since I started my "sign shop" (aka an empty room at home) I have used Avery A4 and A7 for logos and graphics for cars and cornhole boards. I am now starting to work on creating wall quotes with Oracal 631 matte vinyl since it has a low tack and is removable. To see some of my decals, head on over to Lockridge Designs.
