If you are near a large city with plastics suppliers, the coroplast should be about $9.00 to $14.00 per sheet for the thin or standard and around $15.00 to $20.00 for the thick stuff. It is usually only available from wholesale suppliers, so make up a biz. name and tell them to go ahead and tax it. Most wholesalers will do this for someone who doesn't plan on using enough product to set up an account.
