LABELING WINDOW GRAPHIC PRINTS

[Andrea Hutchison]

LABELING WINDOW LETTERING IN OUR SHOP IS LIKE LISTENING TO THE COMACST PHONE TREE FOR AND STRAIGHT. Its frustrating to say the least.

THE BOSS WANTS IT ONE WAY AND EVERYONE WANTS IT THE CORRECT WAY.

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU LABEL YOUR PANELS?

EXAMPLE. WE HAVE A JOB THAT HAS 6 WINDOW BANKS. EACH WINDOW BANK HAS 12 PANELS OF GLASS (3PANELS HIGH, 4 PANELS WIDE.) THE CLIENT ALSO WANTS THE MULLIONS COVERED AS WELL. HOW WOULD YOU LABEL THIS?

Label them window 1, 2, 3 etc and print out a mockup showing what window is labeled what and give that to the installer so they know what panel goes where.

Here is what we do. Have the printer print the job name at the bottom that will get trimmed off with however you want to label them for example A1-A12, B1-B12 etc. Then we write that on tape when we trim and after it is rolled up we put the tape holding the roll that way when on site you look at the tape and can put them in order of install. We also have a sheet showing the overall graphic with the windows labeled to make sure

Yep, that's what we do as well. Whether it's window graphics or wall murals or vehicle graphics. As long as the installer has a tile map or mockup labeled as the graphics are it's pretty simple.
