I'm gonna be mailing a banner to a customer. Should I roll it up witht the vinyl graphics on the outside or the inside?

Hi Alicia!
Always roll with the graphics to the outside, and tell the customers to always do the same. Vinyl comes rolled that way so it naturally stretches like that. If you roll it to the inside you run the chance of the vinyl buckling and pulling away. The same goes for masked vinyl and decals.

Well, the other day when I mailed 1,200 of them to Lagos, Nigeria, I did like Kelly suggested and rolled them 'graphics out'... [Big Grin]

What did the freight cost, Jon? [Wink]

I go to the carpet store dumpsters and "dumpster dive" the cardboard carpets tubes make great shipping containers.

We have always rolled ours with the graphics on the inside. I've heard stories of tunneling but in 18 years we've never seen it or had a complaint about it.

Ian, I had to send $2,500 to Theyr Ipped Meoff Shipping Co. LTD. Do you think there is going to be a problem?

Posted by Ian Stewart-Koster (Member # 3500) on :

Not as long as the writing is on the outside, Jon.
Next time, if the banners are a digital print, just print your own postage stamps in the correct corner and you'll save that church a lot of money on freight.
