I'm lost, but... ...does the customer want a foam monument or something more substantial (aluminum)?

Nevermind. :help

Looks great!

Virtually any shopping center, office complex, etc. has existing sign criteria that has been approved by the municipality it's in. Any signage needs to be submitted for both landlord approval as well as to the municipality for permitting. Nothing that the others haven't said, just...

You still need braille. Standards attached.

True, paint won't match a Pantone color perfectly but it's still pretty much the industry standard to call out a PMS # when indicating colors on a sign. Virtually any paint store or paint system (including Matthews) has the ability to match a PMS #.

Screen printed on-site maybe...

No transfer paper. Cut the vinyl so it's a couple of inches longer than the glass height. Place two piece of masking tape on the bottom (hand-cut edge) of the vinyl. Flip the vinyl over so you're looking at the backing. Place two pieces of masking tape on the pieces you just put on (so...

Apply wet, butt the top and left factory edge of the vinyl against the frame (assuming its square). Squeegee virtually the whole thing. Slit the bottom right corner so you can work with each edge separately. Squeegee the rest and trim the right and bottom edge.

This is something I basically haven't given any attention to on my site and am frankly not sure of where to start. If there are any members (Merchant preferred) that offer this as a service, I'd like to talk to you to get an idea of pricing, process, etc. Thank you in advance.

Figured I'd revive this since I just signed up for Intuit GoPayment. After re-reading the thread, I think it just depends on the type of business you do as far as whether or not this is a good fit for you/your business. Most of my work is in the field. While my regular "industry customers"...

...he's installing aluminum signs and Coroplast.

I was assuming you would have VHB tape on hand for other jobs. If you don't have VHB, just use a double-sided tape from Home Depot. Or don't use any tape - it's more of a redundancy to be on the safe side. If you use the 1-minute epoxy, the sign isn't going anywhere. Throw in a few dabs of...

When in doubt, I use multiple methods. I would pick up some 1-minute epoxy and use that along with VHB tape and silicone.

Does anyone integrate this into their site? Not sure I'd really have the time to implement it, but just curious who uses it and what kind of results you see. I know when I want questions answered quickly on Amazon, etc., I love being able to use the feature.

I do work for a sign shop down there. I'll pass the word along. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, precisely. If you ship it "loose", the transfer paper can start separating and can cause all kinds of headaches for the installer.

Don't listen to Gino.

Yes, just be sure to clean the aluminum first.

After you apply the transfer tape, wrap it around a solid tube prior to shipping. It will eliminate the wrinkles (and the installer will thank you).
