Of course I've sold banners. But some people seem to be charging as much as $11/SF others are charging $4 or less. I'm just trying to get a better feel for what the going rate is. I figure these should be priced on the lower side because of quantity and simplicity.. Also it's A *RUSH!* job-- as...

I'm having a hard time with pricing banners. I'm doing 5 banners, full color print (black on yellow), very simple design ("FOR RENT" etc), all about 12'x2', which will be installed on awnings and light-boxes. I was going to use $6/SF. Part of me thinks that's too high for this job, the other...

Thanks for the responses. I think this is more of an issue with small jobs. For example, a small aluminum sign that I may charge $45 for. Now, if I have to go install it on a brick wall 20min away, that may be another $70. And if I had to go meet the person first on-site because they don't...

1) Customer calls or stops by asking for a sign to be installed somewhere. He tells you exactly what he needs, how big, what material etc. and where it’s being installed--maybe even emails you a picture of the location. 2) Same exact sign - except in this case, the customer doesn’t know...

Thanks... where's a good place to buy loop velcro tape?

I’m designing six or more 2mil polystyrene posters for a defense contractor’s trade-show. I’m charging my hourly rate for the design work, but I’m not sure how much to mark up the printing, which I’m subbing out. The printer, who’s charging me $7/sf, says I should charge $12 or $13 per...

Have you tried what the font?: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ It's helped me many times.

I can get these stainless steel ones from GRIMCO for $1.25 a piece, but I need about a hundred. I've seen aluminum ones sold for about 0.33c in a bag, but I can't find them anymore. Any ideas?...

I’m looking into buying a digital printer and laminator, and I’m hoping spend under 15G. Is it worth it to buy used, or is it not worth the aggravation? I had someone tell me that a printer will likely start to have problems after about 5 years of use. Anybody have positive or negative...

Cut vinyl lettering--it will be mounted to a brick wall with L-brackets above and below.

I'm trying to decide on 3/4" PVC vs 3/4" MDO (ready to go) for a 8'x3' sign. Besides cost, is there a reason to prefer one over the other, like durability, warping etc.??

I'm looking for someone to run a few hundred small signs. Any suggestions??

Yes you're right. Could be a plastic like acrylic or pvc, or even foam. It has to be weather resistant. Just a straight rout--no bevel. About 1/8" deep. Also, they will be painted gold to look like a coin.

They're 12" wide, about 1/2" thick or less and one or two colors. Black is raised, white recessed. Any suggestions are appreciated:

A guy wants me to replace a light-box face that fell out. It fell out because the sign is old and rusting so badly that the bottom is starting to come off. I told the guy the sign is in bad shape and should probably be taken down in the next couple of years. He wants a temporary fix because he...

I usually do too, but it's 21 feet. I don't feel good about installing one 21' face!

Just wondering how people deal with two acrylic lightbox faces that have to join in the middle? Tape? I'm just worried about light showing through and the faces not being in one even plane.
