Thanks for all of your comments. Been a lot of help!

Size is 4' x 8'. Budget is $500. Two sides but back is just a phrase with no graphics.

Forgot to say it is two sided and they are going to mount it on two posts so it will have a full front but back sign is narrower because of the posts.

Most of my orders are just square or rectangular and I cut the alumalite with a jigsaw. The city wanted a shaped sign so this is what I came up with but now am looking for advice on how to cut it or what would be a better substrate. I think I have loaded the attachment for you to see it...first...

They were printed on an Epsom S30670 on a 13 oz high resolution banner at 1200 dpi. That's what the invoice says. Is this a solvent printer? Also you mention clear shield ...is that a spray? Would it be better than laminating them? I'm still debating whether I should pay the extra to have them...

Thanks so much for all of your comments! I've been a lurker up to now partly because I know I am way behind the curve on a lot of things. You have all been so kind I won't hesitate to ask for help again.

They have agreed to re-do them and said they had rushed them since we had some things that slowed things down. As for them being cheap, I was given a budget to work with. And I asked this company if they had done conference banners before which they had so I let them decide what materials to use...

Yes, I understand it is a reflection on me. I have sent them photos...I've attached a few here for you to see. I guess I need to ask about lamination too. I just hope the company will re-do them correctly.

I wondered if this was to be expected or if I should return them. Do they need to be laminated? Does that help to keep them from getting scratches and scuffs? These are going to be attached to the back wall over the gym bleachers and will be low enough they can be touched.

This is my first post and it was my first time to order printed banners. They are conference banners and when I got them today and unrolled them some of the edges are scuffed. They each have about a two inch trim of color around each pennant and some are worse than others. Can I use lettering...

I took a quick trip and the box is 6" deep. I took photos and have attached them hopefully so you can see it. Thanks so much for your help TammieH!

Oh boy...I'll have to go look at it again. Good point. I'd hate to use a flat face and have the vinyl melt in spots!!!

Thanks for your help!

So you are recommending translucent white plex and using translucent vinyl I cut and install...then laminate...haven't ever laminated anything. So do I buy clear vinyl and just apply over the entire face to seal the translucent vinyl? Also what do you mean by Iam...is this a brand name for ink?

I need help with a lighted sign Open to anyone's comments....I need to replace the faces and have never done this before....I only have a cutter so was wondering about translucent vinyl. Also what kind of face do I need to order? Do I need to seal it after applying the vinyl? Sign box measures...
