Questions
How do I choose the right sign type for my business?
Consider your budget, location visibility, and branding needs. Our consultants help evaluate factors like lighting, local regulations, and environmental conditions to recommend optimal solutions.
What file formats work best for sign design?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) produce highest quality results. Convert text to outlines or include font files. We can work with raster images but may charge design fees for logo recreation.
Why is proof approval necessary?
Proofs catch potential errors before production. Even with perfect source files, format conversions can create issues. Final review ensures your sign matches expectations exactly.
How long does sign production take?
Timelines vary by complexity. Basic banners take under a week, complex projects up to six weeks. We prioritize meeting client deadlines while maintaining quality standards.
Do you offer quantity discounts?
Yes, most projects receive quantity discounts. Setup costs are fixed, so larger runs reduce per-unit costs. Material efficiency also improves with larger production volumes.
How should I care for my banner?
Distribute weight evenly using grommets when hanging. Clean with mild soap and water, then roll for storage. Avoid folding to prevent creases and peeling.
