Good source for Corroplast sheets?

**CaptKirk** · 04-13-2011, 01:01 PM

Can anyone share their "best known methods" for obtaining corroplast? Is there anyplace to get smaller quantites affordably? I was debating designing some of my own shapes but with a cursory look, I could not find anyplace that carries the stuff.

During election season, they're all over the place for free!

(kidding of course)

Denver Sign Supply should be a good source. I have used them in the past for other stuff but not Corroplast. At a cst of $.94 per sheet of 18"x24" it is cheap stuff.

http://www.denversignsupply.com/ go to their catalog, then choose Substrates, then Corrigated Plastics.

I just started calling sign shops and asked them where they got their coro. Turns out the place is close to my office. So I got 3 4'x8' sheets

Sign Warehouse also has Corroplast. Her you get 10 packs or 50 packs. A 10 pack of 36x24 is $22.00 http://www.signwarehouse.com/c-SSCP3624.html

How do you all secure coroplast from the wind? Sometimes our winter storms come not only with snow but with 30-50mph winds. I tried a couple relatively small signs with it over the past two years and each time, they've either broken or blown away. It's kind of neat stuff, but I haven't figured out how to mount it securely enough yet.

Do you have more details on how you secured it and what size/shape it was?

Here is a video showing more wind than that without problem:

I have gone over there yet but I’m told that some Home Depot’s have it right next to the Plexiglas, Acrylic, Lexan, etc.

They do, but you will pay a premium! My Home Depots have a 18"x36" sheet for $8.00. For one sheet that isn't bad, but if you need a lot Ouch!

My Home Depot has white 48 x 36 for $8. Better than James Depot but still not a deal if you need multi sheets. I got one and I think I'll need one more.
