Need help with vacuum form materials in the US. Can't find colored sheets

[TxBabyHuey]

Hey I am working on a project where I'm doing a vacuum formed poster for a band. I need sheets big enough for 12"x12" or 11"x17". I mostly need gloss white in .06 or slightly thicker. But I also need gloss blue, red, and yellow.

I cannot find any suppliers in the United States except if I order 1000 pounds of each.
There are plenty of companies in the UK, but shipping will probably be a nightmare.

Can anyone help. I think I need HIPS, .06 thickness or greater.

Have you tried U. S. Plastics?

I never used them for vac forming (never did vac forming actually) but they have all sorts of plastic everything. Prices are good (but quality of their welded process tanks is not great)

It looks like all they have is white and black.

There is this website, but they are in england, and they have plenty of what I need. Does anyone know any suppliers of colored hips in the U.S.?

Where are you, what part of the country?

Dallas, TX, I can get white and black all day. But the only place in the states I can get colored sheets wants me to order 1000 pounds of each color.
