Frequently Asked Questions

The turnaround time for each sign varies based on its complexity. Please remember, electrical signs and signage requiring permits may require a longer turnaround.

Your image is one of the most important aspects of business and of how customers and prospects identify you. Most people make decisions based on your business image.

We work with most professional design applications, including CorelDRAW, Adobe Photoshop Illustrator, etc. If we're “cutting” the lettering or logo out, we will need a vector file; otherwise, we can digitize the artwork you provide us in a JPEG, TIFF, PSD, GIF, etc. at an additional charge. You can email us your print- or cut-ready artwork, mail us a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, or USB flash drive, or upload your file to our website. Please be sure that artwork is sent in “high resolution.” 

We have many levels of material to choose from. If you only require a quick sign that will be taken down after a few weeks or months, we can make your signs with less expensive material. If you require it to last a few years, we will make them with a better grade of material to withstand the elements for the time period you require it to last. If you require it to last 5–7 years or longer, we will go with some of the best material available on the market today, and you will be able to enjoy your signage for years and years to come.

Yes. Before we begin production, we require your approval of the artwork, colors, spelling, and layout. Once you're satisfied, we begin manufacturing your sign.

A vector image is one of the two major graphic types (the other being bitmap) made up of many individual objects. Vector graphics are resolution independent because they can be output at the highest quality at any scale. A bitmap image comprises pixels in a grid. Bitmap images cannot be resized without losing image quality. Common bitmap-based formats are JPEG, JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PICT, and BMP. Vector image is the preferred format for submitting artwork; however, since it is not a format common to non-designers, bitmap images at the correct resolution (see above) can be substituted.

Clients are never surprised with the final product because we do a full color proof and an exact rendering of what it will look like, which the client signs off on before anything is built.

Naturally there is a wide variety of products making an equally wide variety of costs. Quotes are provided up front at your request, so there are no surprises! We are always happy to offer you many options to meet any budget.
