Stock Signs
Consider stock signs. Although most signs are custom made, it is possible to find pre-made standard signs. You can often find stock signs for use in laboratories, retail stores, and warehouses. Buying stock signs can be much cheaper than having a sign custom-made.
Magnetic Signs
Magnetic signs can be a good alternative for companies seeking to add a sign to cars or trucks. That way, employees who also use the car for personal use can remove the sign after business hours. Take a look at our tips for Vehicle Graphics.
Backlighting
An effect achieved by lighting a sign from behind. Backlighting is often used with trade show displays for greater visibility.
Design
Allow for updates if needed. If you expect signs to change over time, look for a design that is easy to update or change. In many cases, updates can even be made by your staff instead of
returning the sign to the signage company.
Substrates
The material used to form the outline of a sign to which lettering is attached. Also known as backing.
Variance
A modification to existing zoning regulations granted by a local agency.
Vehicle Graphics
Turn your delivery/courtesy/service vehicles into moving billboards with durable vinyl vehicle graphics. Hit Them From Every Direction. Make sure your message appears on every side of your vehicle for more visibility.
Build name awareness with multiple impressions with lettering and graphics on your courtesy vehicles.
Design For improved readability. Use larger sizes, borders and additional colors to make your
signs easier to read more quickly from a moving vehicle.
Use Full Color Graphics On Your Signs.
Use custom lettering in colors and typestyles to coordinate and reinforce your image.
Large Vehicle Graphics help you make a big impression no matter how big - or small - your vehicle may be.
Magnetic Signs put your message in motion on your personal car, or anywhere permanent lettering is not desired.
Experts say we have 3.5 seconds to glance at the side of a vehicle. Keeping the wording to fewer than 7 words will maximize viewer impressions. The high quality visibility of graphics on vehicles can be a very cost-effective marketing tool compared to other advertising media such as radio, television, and newspapers.
Since vinyl graphics are machine-made, lettering, colors, and corporate logos are reproduced to employ high quality materials that usually last the life of the vehicle. Such materials resist fading, street salts, washing chemicals, and abrasions.
Whether you provide a photo, illustration, image on disk, or want to design your graphic from scratch, it can be transformed into any size, and combined with other images.
Placed on the roof of a car, a tent sign is a great way to promote special features or financing.

Architects Tips
What You Need
You're in business for the long run, and you deserve a great looking way to
present that to the world. Your building is in great shape, the grounds are
manicured to perfection; What you need is an architectural sign, a graphic
designed as a monument to your success to date and in the years to come.
Consider the Possibilities
Use marble, brass, or native stone, ready to
withstand the pressures of today's extreme elements and keep on looking
great. Have your graphic sandblasted, routed, or mount three dimensional
components, all to add depth and interest to your message. Design an environmental graphic with
your landscaping and architecture in mind, echoing the feel of your facility
at its entrance, and then tie it in to your entire sign system. You've done
a great job bringing your business to this level; let us do a great job inviting others
to your business.
First Impressions
Make a long term investment in the way the world perceives you. Because,
after all, you just don't get a second chance to make that first impression.
Alternatives
There are now alternatives to the cost and weight of traditional materials.
Sign foam can be carved, sandblasted and routed just like wood and stone,
but for a fraction of the cost.
