Obtaining corrugated plastic?

Post by mosloudo »

This thread is about getting corrugated plastic (corriflute, corflute, coroplast etc)

Where/how/how much at a time do you get this stuff?

Local sign shop sells for $4 per 18x24 sheet
Is this reasonable? What prices/quantity do you get?

Wait until there are local elections and go to the various campaigns and tell them you want to put a sign out and they will give you one for free. If you have a good candidate you can use the sign and then recycle it using the recovery procedure on our website:

If you local pol is a corrupt idiot, you don't have to put the sign out first.

Home depot and Lowes also carry "garage sale" signs printed on corriflute, and they often also have blank signs with no writing in the same area of the store.
