Happy New Year!! I had ordered a "fabric" banner from a wholesaler last year, and now my client would like another. Typically I would just order another from the same source, but I don't use that vendor anymore. This is to be used for a trade show sign, and we choose fabric because they roll...

We have one employee who can be really excellent. On the other hand, she can rush things and make silly mistakes. We never pressure her to do anything quickly, on the contrary, we often tell her to slow down. Her job is 100% shop assistant. We gave her almost full time hours after seeing how...

I'm looking for a wholesale vendor of florescent/ hi-visibility clothing. None of my current apparel vendors carry this type of item...

I need a source for temporary, exterior banner stands, for use as backdrops at festivals and one-day events. I think they are also know as "pipe & drape" stands, but I can't find anything to purchase that really meets my needs. I can't even find what i'm looking for in my trade show supply...

We are a small shop, we are growing and I need help. When a typical client calls or comes in, I know how to estimate/price jobs without doing too much beforehand. I can spend 15 minutes or so discussing their needs & wants, and come up with a price immediately. But with big jobs, I'm all over...

I have an Avery cast laminate with clear backing but it doesn't work for this very specific application. Do you know of any other clears/laminated with clear backing? Thank you!

I was following up on a quote from earlier in the week. The job is replacing the faces on a lightbox: Single sided box, affixed to storefront about 10 feet above ground, approximately 4' tall by 20' wide, with full color printed graphics. Guess how much he claims to have a quote for...

thank you!

Lately I've noticed an increase in snarky remarks across this entire forum, particularly when less experienced sign makers ask generally basic questions. Instead of people either ignoring the thread or politely answering the question, they revert to trolling the thread. This snowballs into...

We are looking at purchasing a used Ledco Econocraft 60" laminator. Can someone help me out with what I should look for? Its been in storage for 4 years, but the guy who is selling it claims that it was very rarely used before that and that it is in "excellent condition." We've never owned a...

I need to quote someone for getting all the permits for a job, but I'm doing a terrible job trying to write up what I'm doing for that fee. Would anyone be willing to share their description of "permitting"? Please? Thank you!

Does anyone have a policy that they must provide a certain file type? I'm fighting with a stupid photoshop file that I'm quite positive was never set up correctly. They also gave me a PNG file, which I really haven't noticed to be very "portable" in Corel. Honestly, I can't remember anyone...

I'm looking to see if there are any other suppliers for this exact real estate post. This is not a wholesale supplier, and I'm sure they do not actually manufacture these posts. Do you know where else I can get it from?

I never know what to tell people when they ask for "paper signs" or something that is disposal / one time use / etc. I always say banners are the most economical thing we offer, but I keep thinking I'm missing something. I have a mimaki w/ ecosol ink. I can get banner material for about $0.17...

I want to order some custom scratch n sniff decals. Anyone know where I can get them? Just to clarify, I would like recommendations for wholesale vendors that you may have used in the past for scratch n sniff decals.

I know this question has been asked a million times, please forgive me. I have a client with a short-term need, and I think window perf would be an excellent application. BUT I'm worried that at night it will not look good (its for a burger joint, so nighttime visibility is key), and I'm trying...

like so many people here, we've been quite busy lately. AWESOME. I love it. What I don't love are the people who hound me for ideas, prices, etc., and then once they get a quote, they are no where to be found. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now, so it really irks me when I spend X-amount of time...

You can show them this picture and explain to them why its best to leave it up to the professionals. Thankfully we didn't have anything to do with this fiasco, but it keeps showing up on my feeds.

So I've been very happy with Square for various reasons, but I'm not going to be using them anymore. In February, I got notice of my first-ever chargeback. A customer had come in, left a deposit for some small truck lettering ($200 deposit), we sent a layout and did revisions, and then he put...

Thank you.
