A good place to start, if you don't know the difference between vinyl types, is MDP - https://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/Default.asp

Mdp is a good starting place. I use them for my garment vinyl but use metamark for signage, only because they are down the road from me and I can collect. Once you get going you will find different suppliers and different vinyls to suit your requirements. Xpres are quite good and you get a discount when you become a member on here.

Just my 2p worth. I started in this market. Its now a case of oversupply, too many sellers pushing prices down (on line market places) It is very difficult to earn in this category. I had 5 machines cutting vinyl for 8 plus hours a day, a team of excellent weeders working through meters of the stuff.

I had a friend who was selling around £8,000 a week of the stuff at xmas, after he had paid his bills and staff he LOST £300 odd.

I stopped selling any cut vinyl wall art 18+ months ago., there's no margin in it anymore.

Good luck though, whatever you decide to do.

Thanks everyone for the help and advice given here for some suppliers to consider.

froggy - I'm just looking at options at the moment, as I am thinking of more personalised things rather than runs of mass produced pieces as far as the wall art goes.

I'll be totally honest I don't really know how well everything is likely to take off as this is more a PT ventue to trial anyway.......but who knows it could be something that I would be able to turn into a full time role (wishfull thinking) :redface:
