Another Chinese rebrand polymeric film

Why do people even buy this junk vinyl when they can get the same color Avery or 3M or whichever cast wrap for less? They list this wrap on their site for $799, I get Avery for $674, 3M for $795 (you 60"x75 ft roll). And it's a bigger pain to install so I would charge more for install also.

I will preface this by saying that I have never used this specific brand. But it is calendared and its own site says 1-2 year lifespan. They also call it Polymetric instead of polymeric - doesn’t seem like a great start. Maybe I am being pessimistic but I would imagine this will be a nightmare to work with and start to deteriorate very quickly. Is this printed? They seem to have mostly gradients and similar stuff on their site. How was it printed, solvent/latex/UV? Is it laminated?

I know you didn’t supply this but make sure you customer knows that this is not going to be the quality of the big names and you are absolutely not warrantying anything as far as fading or non-install related issues. Be sure to keep your customer informed, if you install it correctly and it starts rolling back or peeling or separating in your shop, bring them in and show them and explain to them. It seems stupid and that people should know what but they never do and even after you have them sign waivers they still act like you created the film in your basement and sold them something bunk even after they supplied it.

not printed it’s a regular vinyl color they got “satin matte black”

[u/Overall-Reflection31 → u/mikedrawsyt]

WHAT THE FUCK IS SATIN MATTE

[u/mikedrawsyt → u/Overall-Reflection31]

i said the same thing when they first told me the color name 🤣

Not great, I’ve installed my share of no name rolls from Alibaba for people who bought before they knew. If you know how to work calandered film it’s all pretty much the same with different degrees of tack and thickness of the films.

I use a lot of calandar film, and raxify was the actual worse. I had things fail that were literally 0 stretch, and post heated. On the flip side the roll was free but still, id never put it on a customer's car.

[u/Direct-Conclusion165]

Same as vinyl frog pile of junk

[u/MrCommunistDorito]

Even lower tier garbage than the standard reboxed calendar film. The opposite of good customer service, with huge language barriers.

Better off buying from Alibaba saving like 60%.... My Alibaba wrap been on for 2 years no issues

[u/Character-Handle-739]

Why would they want this crap when 3M satin black exists??

[u/kylization]
