  6. Briteline Multigrip

    That is a product that is really meant for floors in my opinion. Don’t use Briteline. Garbage. I used this stuff in the past. Never again. Short term, removable try GF 226. Installs well on most flat wall surfaces. Just make sure area is clean. I’ve used 100s of rolls for temp wall...

    Attach to a 12” tube, box and ship. Regardless of what tape you use this happens but is reduced with a larger tube. We ship and receive graphics all the time and it is what it is.

    Suggestion…. Contact them and ask them what color space they require for their production and design in that color space. Just CMYK is not enough. I’d have to look at what color space we use but we have not had any issues with them.
