Pan faces

[Shovelhead]

I need flat pan faces....60" x 120".....my local supplier wants $450 each...
that's outrageous.

Is that from a local sign supplier or plastics supplier? I have found in our area the plastics suppliers are way cheaper on this stuff.

You just need flat blanks cut to that size?

I am showing $193.00 ea. from Wensco.

That does seem way high.

Thanks,
Kurt

when you say pan faces, I would assume that you are not talking about just a flat piece of polycarb, right? Because panned faces this size would also run about $450 from wensco. Flat polycarb would be half that price, depending on the thickness.

agree with Doyle my vendors for a pan face are around the same price some of them higher (for a pan face) but your post confuses me and i am thinking you just need a flat face...

I don't know what a 'flat pan face' really means.


Not gonna talk numbers out here, but if you've been quoted $450 for a 5' x 10' pan face... take it... that's frickin' cheap.

Flat faces... you're getting screwed.

that what I was thinkin'

Gino, I think he's talking blank pan faces, not completed. I agree, $450 would be a bargain for a finished one.

I could be wrong, as he wasn't clear, but it's the only way I could read it that would work with the $450 price being outrageously high as he thought.

Do yous know what a pan face is?

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

Pan faces are great for good & stronger... quality looking... back lighted advertisement

A pan face is much better looking then flat face or flex face which would be both options

Lexan or type of is better for this

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

As far as being back lighted, being the pan face is raised (embossed) about 2" softens the bright spots and evens the light out better

But now with LEDs in the market a even lighting will be easier even with flat or embossed extremes

That doesn't sound like a bad price to me.

Recently quoted ~ 250 each for white 5x6 pan with a 1.5" rise at Daniels Wholesale Sign & Plastic. You can get a quote straight from their web site.
Might be worth checking out.

Shipping cost, don't forget that. Big pans will most likely have a crate charge as well as the motor freight cost. The last pans I got had $100 crating charge they where 5x12.

$450 sounds good if that includes shipping and crating.
