How much does it cost? In a nutshell, every sign is different. Our pricing is generally based
off of two variables; material used (square footage, number of colors, finishing, etc.) and time involved (design time,
overall complexity of sign, installation, etc.). When asking us for a quote, please give us as much information as possible
about your project as this will help us more accurately estimate the final cost. Give us a call or fill out the form
for a free Sign Estimate Request.
How
long will it take? Most signs can be completed in one week from
the time you place the order to completion. Depending on the complexity or quantity, the time to finish your project
might be shorter or sometimes longer. We can usually get a proof ready for the project in a day or two, and strive to
complete your job within one week. We can fulfill rush order requests (same day or next day) for an additional
charge.
What
are the steps in ordering a sign? You can call us, stop in, or fill out our free Sign Estimate Request. After gathering the necessary details, our graphic designer will set up a proof for you to review before the job goes
to production. Feel free to make any changes to the design before you approve the artwork. Once approved, the
job is produced using our state-of-the-art equipment and afterwards sent to our highly skilled production team to be assembled
and/or finished. Once completed or when ready for install, we will give you a call!
Do
I need to provide the artwork? If you are using a logo
that we haven't used previously or specific artwork, then we do request that the artwork be sent to us via email
or brought to us on CD. (see the Artwork Guidelines page for recommendations) If you need
some ideas for the artwork, or need us to create it for you, we are more than happy to help! Contact us today to get
started!
What are your hours? We are open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:30pm.

What vinyl colors can I choose from?
You can download our 3M vinyl color chart HERE. In addition, we offer an assortment of fluorescent and translucent vinyl for
you to choose from. Please keep in mind that because of monitor calibration, there may be some color differences
when viewed on your computer monitor. Although these colors are a great reference when ordering, if you
are attempting to match a PANTONE or CMYK color, you should stop by our store and view the actual vinyl colors.
If it is necessary to match your PANTONE or CMYK color exactly, we might print your project on our
inkjet printer.

What
size should my lettering be? Check out the Letter Visibility
Chart below for help. The information presented in this
chart is based on lettering using the font Helvetica as red or black text on a white background in a composition using optimal
negative space seen in natural lighting. This condition represents a sign with maximum legibility. Factors that would decrease
the legibility of the sign are: font selection, color choice, lighting, negative space, and other environmental factors.
