  2. Where does your state rank?

    Since we're not in the top or bottom 10, we must be in the middle 30.
  3. Wrapping a 50ft tall concrete silo. Anyone ever done something similar? Pricing and time?

    That's like a job we did when they filmed a reality show at an auction house here. They hired us to put a sign on the roof of the auction house, but they filmed the installation to look as if the employees of the auction house did it themselves. Middle of summer, cloudless 95 degree day. They...
  4. Cut vinyl prices peeling after 1 month

    The temporary (removable) vinyl you are using is intended for short-term advertising, like a special sale or introductory offer that will only be displayed a short time--weeks or months. If you want longer term signage, you need to get a vinyl with permanent adhesive.

    We don't use barcodes, and we don't have a Summa, but when using materials like that we stick a piece of application tape over the registration marks and trace the marks with a fine tip Sharpie.
  6. Cut vinyl prices peeling after 1 month

    Firm pressure, with a squeegee. Wrap vinyls are designed that until firm pressure and even post-heating are applied in sensitive areas like edges, they can be easily lifted up and moved without stretching from sticking too much. Some are even slideable. You cannot just smooth them out on a flat...

    Even the cheapest vinyl should not spontaneously peel off after a day or a month. What kind of printer and what kind of vinyl are you using? What kind of printing/image is on the vinyl that is failing?

    Odd that you didn't get it in Find My Font. I just tried it and it was the top choice it came up with.
  10. Moisture in Cabinet, Vandal Covers

    If the holes go to something substantial on the inside they are probably for installing lifting rings. If you think it's raining in, put bolts in them. No lighted cabinet is actually sealed. Depending on atmospheric conditions you can get some fogging, but it goes away on its own. If the holes...
  11. Wrapping a 50ft tall concrete silo. Anyone ever done something similar? Pricing and time?

    I think he is going to feel (and regret) every one of the $12,000 they are paying him. At the rate he's going it'll take 16 days, assuming he encounters no more difficulty as he goes higher.
  12. What to charge for installing perforated graphics?

    We would likely charge 4 hours if that job were somewhere in town. So $300. If you do it by the square foot, it's 123 square feet. At $2.50/sq ft that's $307.50. I don't think anyone in our town would pay twice that for installation, since we have guys with bucket trucks that will change out a...

    When I do numbered decals, I use Corel's print merge feature, so I'd be sending the print jobs to Onyx in groups of 200.

    Why not batch them to print #1-#200, #201-#400, and so on?

    You have to educate people that you are custom manufacturing something, not just taking it from a shelf and delivering it.
