I'm looking for a great wholesale source for stainless steel coffee mugs. Any suggestions?

How would you classify talking to/emailing/meeting with clients(and potential clients), estimating and taking orders? Are they direct costs or indirect costs? I'm analyzing our business costs and estimating how much of our time is spent on direct costs(production) and how much is...

I might have the opportunity to buy a truck or van from a glass company at a good price. They have racks on them for carrying glass and I was thinking that might be a pretty good fit for a shop truck. We could just throw a 4'x8' sign in the rack and the posts on the truck(or on the roof rack...

We have three Graphtec plotters that need some TLC - new blade holders, cut strips and blades. I was a little surprised at how much a new OEM blue top blade holder costs($105 each). If I just needed one, it wouldn't be that big of deal but since I'm buying three, I'm looking around to see what...

We needed to outsource an ADA order(about 140 signs) for a tight turnaround project. I found C&C Engraving in the Merchant Member area at Signs101 and I sent Gene the quote request which he responded to very quickly. I ordered a couple of samples to make sure that the quality, finishes, etc...

It looks pretty generic other than the "-". Any ideas?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? :Big Laugh

I've been reading up on the IRS rules for business travel deductions and am interested in pursuing opportunities to improve my business by visiting LA and Hawaii this Thanksgiving. Anyone have ideas? For example, does Disney offer tours of their sign shop?

Any ideas? I could have probably drawn it in half the time that I've spent looking for it. :doh:

We're quoting a set of fabricated metal Gemini letters that will be LED lit to provide a halo effect. They will be installed on the exterior of a brick building that has has block behind it. On the other side of the wall where the sign will be installed is a stairwell. The copy is 4, 18" tall...

We're doing about 80 lot signs for a builder. The signs are 1/4" PVC with with a full color print on one side. They are mounted to a 4x4 post with a pyramid cap(or pyramid shape at the top of the post). We get 6' posts and 2' go in the ground, leaving 4' out of the ground. Typically the...

A buddy of mine recently told me about sous vide cooking and I tried it out using the beer cooler method today. It was pretty freaking good. And foolproof. (I always end up over cooking meat). Anybody else given this a shot...

Has anybody gotten Cutting Master running in X6 yet? We tried it on one of our older XP computers but it didn't work. I'm going to give it a shot on our new SignBurst Inferno this afternoon but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has crossed this bridge yet.

We're trying to streamline operations which includes having less physical documents to file and track. Being that many vendors now send us PDF's of our invoices, I want to be able to attach these files to the transactions that are associated with them in Quickbooks. The benefits of this...

I remember seeing a video in the last couple of months where a worker was using a unique tool to cut the backing paper while using the "hinge" method to apply. It wasn't a pair of scissors but looked to me like a plastic handle with a ball shape on the end that was slit that they just pushed...

I already have one so I was just going to return it to Best Buy(it came with a gift receipt and everything is still all sealed up) and get the newest version when it comes out but... It was purchased in November which is outside of the return window. It's a 64GB with wifi and Verizon 3G so...

I don't really have anything of substance to say. I just wanted to get in on this hot new trend that's sweeping Sign101 nation before it was too late.

I'm hearing from reliable sources that LG is ceasing their North American operations. Check with your supplier to see how they're handling it. Some might be bringing in container loads from Korea but others are abandoning LG all together.

I'm importing files that are only available as DXF's. When they come into CorelDraw(I'm running X5 but also have the same issue in X3), some shapes come in fine while others are broken into multiple segments. I've tried combining the segments and auto closing the curve but that doesn't always...
