Custom Signage
We create durable, eye-catching signs for businesses and events using premium materials. Our process includes design consultation, proof approval, and professional installation. Services include lighted signs, yard signs, and dimensional lettering that enhance brand visibility and attract customers.
Boat Lettering
Specialized boat registration numbers and custom lettering using high-performance vinyl that withstands water exposure. We offer metallic color options and shadow effects that complement boat aesthetics while ensuring regulatory compliance and long-lasting durability.
Vehicle Lettering
Custom vehicle graphics for personal and commercial use, including fleet lettering for emergency vehicles. Our installation process uses water-activated application techniques that allow precise positioning before final adhesion to car, truck, or van surfaces.

Questions
What are the banner specifications for artwork?
Artwork must be under 100MB with text 2 inches from edges. Acceptable formats include .eps, .ai (CS5 or lower), .pdf, .tif, and .jpg at 300dpi or higher.
Is there a difference in the quality of vinyl you use?
We primarily use Gerber 3M 7-year high-performance vinyl for durability, unless customers request alternative materials for specific applications.
Can I use window cleaner to apply stickers?
We recommend soapy water with alcohol instead of glass cleaner to avoid residue during sticker installation on glass surfaces.
How long do I wait after installing boat numbers?
You can use your boat immediately after installation, though 10 minutes of sun exposure helps improve adhesion when using water application methods.
Can you do multi-color vinyl stickers?
Yes, we offer multi-color options with fading effects, outlines, and drop shadows using Gerber foil printing technology for enhanced visual appeal.
How can I remove old vehicle logos?
Use a heat gun to soften adhesive, then peel off stickers. Remove residual glue with mineral spirits or use a vinyl removal wheel attached to a drill for efficient removal.
