Category: Substrates

Maximizing the use of material is a great way to save money. All of our substrates come in standard sheet and roll sizes, and planning your jobs to these sizes could cut the price of your job significantly.

Many substrates come in both sheets and rolls. Pressure sensitive vinyls, for instance, comes in sheet sizes of 20″ x 27″ and 27″ x 38″, as well as a 54″ roll. Reinforced vinyls (banner material) come in rolls which measure 36″, 48″, 54″, and 72″. Planning a banner’s height to be 34″ or 44″ would allow for the art bleed, the banner sewn and would utilize the roll width much better than a banner measuring 38″ or 48″ high. Card stocks, such as 12 pt. and 24 pt., come in a sheet size of 24″ x 30″ as well as varied roll widths. This popular sheet size allows for a 22″ x 28″ sign – a great size for window signs. Stocks such as styrene, Sintra, and Foam-Cor all come in 48″ x 96″ sizes, allowing for larger signs.
