Gino, Please tell me what is unclear about my question? Perhaps I neglected to actually state the words "Will someone cut and sell these to me?" It's a sign group, I guess I assumed stating a need would result in an offer. I thought it was clear I was looking to simply ORDER some precut...

I did call Grimco, they do not offer this cutting service at my local store where I pick up my supplies. So you run out and buy new tools for each and every small job? Great, I guess you have money to burn. Thanks for all the unasked-for advice. You wasted your time telling me things I...

Thank you very much Johnny, at least you offered an actual suggestion to my query, unlike everyone else.

What does it matter "what I do"? So great you can think of so many OTHER ways to do these signs, but I have already decided how I want to do them. And what business is it of yours if I want to outsource? Thank you so much for answering questions I didn't even ask!!

The sign supply businesses I have accounts with in my area do not offer these cut to size, just large sheets. I do not have the tools or ability to cut them myself, but especially no way to finish the edges. I thought perhaps someone here would want to sell to me, but sure...I can always go...

I need 14 blank Plastic/Acrylic Office Door Blank, color white is just fine. I need them precut to size 5 x 12

Thanks, but I wasn't asking how to make them, ;-( I was looking for a source, for someone who COULD make them.

Can anyone here make/print something like this. Can you see the silver metallic in the border? I suppose it could be layered but if so it's very thin, I can't feel any layers. This is adhesive vinyl for application to a restored Case International vehicle, sample in photo. The customer wants...

Thanks for responding. I am not familiar with that, where would I get it? I checked with Grimco, and they have a white poly something, I will probably just get that.

I am looking for material that appears to be exactly like the very flexible poly material that many 1" -3 ring binders are made from, I think polystyrene maybe? I can find some in white, but not colors. I am aware that I can use the white and apply 2 layers of vinyl to achieve the team colors...

fresh, Great question!! Happy to answer this.... Because we don't do a lot of signs, it was due to inexperience, so I came here for ideas and hopefully to learn. I've seen lots of cheap lettering at craft stores, but seems they only have CAPITALS, no lower case, which is why I came here to find...

Thank you all for contributing valuable information. I can see that I may have approached this forum incorrectly, and caused misunderstanding in what I was looking for. I certainly never meant to sound unappreciative. That's a common occurrence with the typed word, and that resulted, I...

Actually, I simply asked for a source for prefab lettering. I see that I should have kept the details to myself. My HUGE mistake!!!!! I understand that you are trying to preserve your industry, but sometimes a temporary measure is needed until a permanent decision is made.

Sorry, Since I was looking for stock lettering, I didn't think to mention the size. The sign is 18" high, 6 ft long, the capital "D" is 5" high.

A customer has asked me for a quote to replace 1 section of an existing sign advertising 3 different businesses. I need a source for inexpensive pre-fab letters so I can remake this sign.The new business does not want to invest in a complete remake since this is a temporary location. We will...
