Paint Mask/Stencil Vinyl

I'm looking for a new supplier for our Paint Mask / Stencil Vinyl. We usually use 48"x50yd rolls. We like both white and yellow depending on what we are painting. Any thoughts on where to go?

Pretty much any supplier, a reason on why you want a new supplier may help in recomedation.... What are they not doing that you need and what do you need from the supplier.. a better cost? majority are all going to be the same unless you ask the salesman to see if he can do anything better..

Grimco gives me a lower than advertised prices all the time especially when I ask my salesman what he can do for me..

If its Delivery options you need there are lots of ways.. Glantz and Wensco Deliver and ship, Grimco ships and you can get all that next day where your at I'm sure..

I would prefer not to bash our old supplier but we had a disagreement over an order and we have decided to no longer order our supplies from them. Next Day Availability is what I usually look for in a supplier. It helps keep shipping costs down if they are that close I'd prefer not to ship 48" Rolls across the country. Then price would be the most important but I'm always willing to pay a little more for premium service and support. I'm sure some people will say we shouldn't be giving up on the supplier but it was more than just the one order we used to have a sales guy stop in regularly and check on us and see what we need but he hasn't been here in about 6 months and never hear from him unless I initiate a request and even then it takes forever to get an answer so this last order has made our decision for us.

Well, I like Wensco and Grimco.. Both are Next day for you probably even pickup if needed, I don't get botherd with sales people from them.. I honestly don't need a salesman stopping in all the time so they can see what prodcts I have and wether or not I bought from them.. Grimco calls me once in awhile when there is a special and Wensco just leaves me a lone...

I like it that way

Oh and have never had a problem with Wensco Orders but Grimco has always told me I don't like it.. send it back

I find it hard to believe that none of the Chicagoland area sign suppliers don't deliver to your area. Unless Mid-West is the supplier you have the beef with, I'd find out which days they come out your way. I haven't worked in Chicago since 1989 and still use Rayco for certain things out of loyalty and good pricing, shipping costs be damned.

Grimco, is out in Lombard so that's not too bad distance wise from you either.

I'm sure there are distributors in the area that deliver next day to me. We have only been in the Wide Format printing business for about 2 years and have always used the same supplier. Not sure who in the area is good and worth switching to. That is more what i'm looking for just who is available in the area.
