  1. Best board for 8'x16' metal frame?

    Double sided? How are the panels fastened at the edge?
  2. Simple Sign Critique - too simple?

    I like what Brad did, though I think where and when are equally important and the date gets a little lost. I also totally agree about the $ sign, I always downsize it.
  3. Conformable reflective

    Which 3M did you use Strickly?
  4. Conformable reflective

    I have a client that wants black reflective on their food truck. We work with reflective a lot, but this will be the first time I've had to go over any rivets. So I was going to try 3M 5100 conformable reflective. Has anyone used it successfully over rivets? Thanks
  5. Question Custom Shaped Coroplast cut on graphtec?

    Yep, for a one off job just apply pattern or vinyl & cut.
  6. Small Engine Turn Gold vinyl.... why so hard to find?

    The only fake one I like is R Tape's Vinyl Efx, Gold, 1/4" Small Engine Turn (15" x 10yd) - nepcosignsupply.com
  7. Rose parade signs

    Looks great
  8. Shop truck critique

    I think player is implying that the new design looks like a vinyl lettered truck, it doesn't emphasize the "wrap" aspect, though that may just be from viewing as design thumbnail. I like the nice clean look and the blue. But if you want to sell "wraps" you may want to up the ante and go for a...
  9. Suggestions Setting up a large format printing facility in Huntington NY

    Similar to Bigfish, is it to support an existing base or to grow a new business? Because boy are you moving into a saturated market...
  10. Reflective Paint? Reflective text?

    I agree, we can't be responsible for handling. Providing a sleeve for storage and a big warning label on the back is the best you can do.
  11. Turnbuckle failure after 7 months.

    I agree about the eye bolt style being the problem. But I would think having wind load specs and using a piece of hardware that is supposed to handle that spec should work, no matter the style. Of course I always like to step it up on any hardware.
  12. Where to purchase weighted stands

    There are suppliers for municipal and institutional clients that carry some very nice options. Octagon Sign Bases | Bollard Company.
  13. Three sided Sign Referal

    We would make that with three pieces of pvc with three pieces of "triangle" molding from Outwater Plastics.
  14. How do you handle clients ideas vs logo design?

    Just had one today. A customer gave me his custom logo he bought online....it hurts just looking at it. I made a few suggestions (keeping some of his original) so that at least it would be make sense and be legible, showed them side by side. He's going with my suggestions. It's still awful...
  15. Suggestions How To Make Your Own Vinyl Stickers

    Oh well, must be those marketing classes I took interfering with my logic :rolleyes: .
  16. Suggestions How To Make Your Own Vinyl Stickers

    Am I the only one who see's it as a marketing ploy to make people realize that "making their own decals is way more involved than they thought so you should order from a professional"? I think it could have been done better, but it still is an interesting way to drive potential customer to your site
  17. Suggestions How To Make Your Own Vinyl Stickers

    Actually I think it's clever, if you get the point, but that may elude a lot of online shoppers. With a little tweaking and rewording it could be an effective ad for any sign company.
  18. Anybody get something cool for Christmas? Non sign related!?

    Yea, I've seen that a few times, a Superman costume hung in an old phone booth....I'm sticking with the vintage theme, I've got an old penny scale & hand painted glass signs from my grandfathers drugstore, plus some other old local stuff that we have on display.
  19. Anybody get something cool for Christmas? Non sign related!?

    Finally finished this beauty in our front office. A friend gave me the booth itself, but it didn't have the phone. Bought one off ebay that was refurbed and works on a modern line. Put an led light in the top instead of replacing the old florescent lamps. Now I want to install a scene of an old...
  20. Now this p!ssed me off......................................

    I sub quite a bit these days, including to a few great merchant members here. I have developed a relationship with some of the subs so I know they will do the job right. The one problem I can have is lead times on some products. If I had the capability myself I could work till midnight to get...
