I'm looking for a good vendor of small outdoor directories, about 2'x2', 20 strips, two columns. I was checking out Nelson-Harkins but looking for some other options. Thanks..

I'm having a hard time with pricing banners. I'm doing 5 banners, full color print (black on yellow), very simple design ("FOR RENT" etc), all about 12'x2', which will be installed on awnings and light-boxes. I was going to use $6/SF. Part of me thinks that's too high for this job, the other...

1) Customer calls or stops by asking for a sign to be installed somewhere. He tells you exactly what he needs, how big, what material etc. and where it’s being installed--maybe even emails you a picture of the location. 2) Same exact sign - except in this case, the customer doesn’t know...

I’m designing six or more 2mil polystyrene posters for a defense contractor’s trade-show. I’m charging my hourly rate for the design work, but I’m not sure how much to mark up the printing, which I’m subbing out. The printer, who’s charging me $7/sf, says I should charge $12 or $13 per...

I can get these stainless steel ones from GRIMCO for $1.25 a piece, but I need about a hundred. I've seen aluminum ones sold for about 0.33c in a bag, but I can't find them anymore. Any ideas?...

I’m looking into buying a digital printer and laminator, and I’m hoping spend under 15G. Is it worth it to buy used, or is it not worth the aggravation? I had someone tell me that a printer will likely start to have problems after about 5 years of use. Anybody have positive or negative...

I'm trying to decide on 3/4" PVC vs 3/4" MDO (ready to go) for a 8'x3' sign. Besides cost, is there a reason to prefer one over the other, like durability, warping etc.??

I'm looking for someone to run a few hundred small signs. Any suggestions??

They're 12" wide, about 1/2" thick or less and one or two colors. Black is raised, white recessed. Any suggestions are appreciated:

A guy wants me to replace a light-box face that fell out. It fell out because the sign is old and rusting so badly that the bottom is starting to come off. I told the guy the sign is in bad shape and should probably be taken down in the next couple of years. He wants a temporary fix because he...

Just wondering how people deal with two acrylic lightbox faces that have to join in the middle? Tape? I'm just worried about light showing through and the faces not being in one even plane.

This is my logo. Any thoughts? I'm looking for constructive criticism, but compliments are also appreciated. Thanks...

I installed a sign made of a frame and an aluminum insert about nine months ago--it's about 6'x3'. It's on a corner of a building. Owner calls to tell me the bottom came off and the insert fell out the other day, and it's damaged beyond repair. I go check it out and see all kinds of signs of...

Anyone have any experience using Komatex or Komacel for permanent outdoor signage? I will be making and installing about a hundred hanging signs out of a 1/2" material, and I was thinking of using Komacel.

I need 100+ 2"-3" square black poles with finials and bases if possible. Any ideas??

I bidding on a big job in which some of the signs will be installed at a good distance from me -- maybe an hour away. Anybody charging an additional per mile fee to account for gas, time, wear, etc.?

I hope this is the right place for this... Just wondering what software people are using for accounting and invoicing. Currently, I do accounting on some paper spreadsheets, and I use an Illustrator template for invoices. I need a change for the new year. I've read many bad things about...

If I have to go to a customer's site, to measure, take pictures, advise the customer etc., I will give them a free estimate, but, if I get the job, even if it's a small job, I include an onsite consultaion fee in the price of the whole job--usually $20-$50 depending on how involved the...
