Best place to buy hem tape?

[Banners Signs Etc.]

As in the best deal, we use the oracal tape...
so wheres the cheapest source or even a better alternative to the yellow backed oracal tape.. I tried a no name white backed hem tape a while back and was not impressed.

Really, how much we talkin hea?
Couple bucks a roll difference between not impressed and impressive?

I used to use oracal tape and found it to break down pretty fast. The adhesive isn't that strong.

I now use tuff tape from fellers. It cost a couple dollars more per roll, but it works.

I guess I was asking where you got your tape, currently we buy from fellers so we can get the free shipping, but their prices are a bit high.

I'm still waiting for the typical signs 101 response
"Why don't you just get a hem sealer or a sewing machine?"

The tough tape looked good, but as most of our banners are small there isn't much need for that, I could see maybe over the road application but that's about it

Switched from oracal to tough tape not long ago. Never had a problem with oracal until recently. Tough tape does the job, oracal is only listed for 10 oz and below.

RF welder is what you want. Currently beyond my cheapness though.

 

[HulkSmash]

I use the Optima tape, get it from Advantage Sign Supply.
They have a few different grades, I vary which tape is used depending upon where the banner will be used & for how long it might be up.

I have had the cheap (yellow backed) tape fail, especially on double-sided full bleed banners...

I buy the no name heavy duty banner tape from N Glantz and have had really good luck with it.

which Oracal tape reference do you talk about please?

Oracal (Orabond to be correct) have several references for such purpose.

I use the stuff from Grimco. Never had a problem with it, and it comes in longer rolls than other local suppliers carry here.

 

[CS-SignSupply]

We carry the MainTape products and they have a PerfecTac that works for my clients.

In-stock and ready to ship. Order online here

 

[Finishline Signs]

We have used Oracal tape for years up until recently when our supplier started selling their own brand. We have been using it for about 9 months with no problems. Check out alumapanel.com they have the best price on Oracal tape and the price on theirs is better.
