There are many who question the benefits of using Eco Flexx Vinyl verses regular than 13oz Vinyl Flex. There are positives and negatives using both.
While Eco Flexx is recycled old billboard vinyls, light weight and it beneficial for the environment, they just don't hold up as well as vinyl flex. They are really meant for short campaigns and tends to wear a lot easier. If you talk to a printer that is trying to sell you Eco Flexx, they will tell you the opposite. However....I have installers that have installed Eco Flexx on many billboards and they will tell you, "Eco Flexx is not as durable but is wonderful to install because it is super light." I reccommend Eco Flex for your 6 month campaigns.
13oz vinyl flex is your standard billboard vinyl. Alot of printers are trying to push this new 10oz or 8oz vinyl, but don't buy into it. Stay with the 13oz......it is thicker, heavier, and very durable. However.....it is a pain in the butt to install on a billboard because of it weight.
Normally, you pay one set price to have an installer install your billboard. The installer does not charge based on how much your vinyl weighs. He charges on how big your billboard is. Get more bang for your buck and buy 13oz vinyl that will last years rather than light weight that will last you 6 months.
