Grimco Relabeled Brands ?

[Replicator]

Has anyone used Grimco's BriteLine vinyl or their Key Banner ?

Wondering if they're any good or if they're Crap . . .

Thanks !

key banner is ultraflexx. good schtuff.

only banner we run is ultraflexx.

dont use the vinyl... only 3M 180c original or nothing.

Yup, Key is Ultraflexx (actually it's Starflex, who is the actual manufacturer of Ultraflex...). Good stuff. Most, if not all of their BriteLine vinyl is General Formulations, also good stuff. Nothing high end but we've been using GF films for years and have zero complaints whatsoever.

I'm picturing the BriteLine being like ShineRite :-(

Same stuff, ShineRite is also General Formulations. Have you had trouble with it? For CHEAP CALENDERED film we've found it to be great. Not exactly something you'd put on a vehicle and expect it to last more than a year, but great for the right application.

Yeah, I won't use it accept on cheap coro signs, so not really worth buying it . . .

I'll try the Key banner if they'll match fellers price for their Peak banner !

We switched to their Key banner and have had good results. The 54" x 115' is like $80

The Brite Line vinyl is great. I use their matte vinyl with gloss laminate

I've used their briteline vinyl for cheapo vinyl, they make one with a black adhesive that ive used with good results.. Once IJ-10 came out, I haven't ordered it. The banner material is great! For a good budget laminate, check out their r-tape calendared. I buy the satin finish, and have had no problems with it.

For those of you using SHINERITE or BRITELINE, CiberSupply is a General Formulations distributor. Take a look at our website www.cibersupply.com Perhaps we can do business?

Key banner is NOT ultra flex!! Key banner is made in Korea and Ultra flex is made in the USA.

Both are really good, the briteline we only use on coro signs, or anything temporary. We do use the briteline lam for everything though. Love it!

I use Brightline calendered for short term stuff, and have had good success. I have also use the Brightline translucent and have some 3+ year old sign faces that still look great. Key banner is good stuff to.

??? Ultraflexx is a Made in Korea and China Just like every other vinyl MFG.

Starflex is the Main MFG. in Korea for Banner..

Ultraflex vinyl is far from Made in the US.. They do have some textiles made domestically but thats it..

 

[ChicagoGraphics]

Then they shouldn't advertise it as being made in the usa

Yeah, what Merritt said. They're all made in Korea by Starflex. Ultraflexx and Key are the exact same material, just packaged/branded differently.

just visited their website...not a single mention of USA made

I got some of their gloss laminate to try.... wow, not impressed so far. Has all kinds of what look like imperfections in it, scratches very easilly, etc.

I'll try some more prints with it before totally writing it off.
