3M or Avery for wraps. Oracal 3951 and 290 is only about $100 cheaper per kit and will add $100s of dollars to the install and removal time. Unless your shop is 70 deg it will fight you on the install and when it comes to removal you better get it off in under 4 years on the vertical...

Weekly backups can save your rear end in situations like this as well.

There is no clear cut answer when you have a fleet of vehicles to do and you will need to manage quality vs. speed. You will get the best quality with removal and if they aren't old trailers the hardware should come off easily. If you have a lot of trailers better plan on at least one bolt that...

Excel isn't to hard to learn and if your going to use it you need to understand what is going on in the background for accurate quotes. You will find that you need to update it until you get it dialed in. Advice - When designing your spread sheets create blocks for your labor rate and...

I would ask what they are expecting before you quote it. They've specified the process so they obviously have something in mind. Adding the laminate will obviously raise the cost but it tends to make large pieces of cast vinyl easier to install. Also if you laminate one I would laminate both...

Did they give you any indication on how they shipped them? When I order in the US they use the United States Postal Service signature required so I would have figured they would have some kind of tracking #.

A lot of people are using 3M's textured surface laminate 8524 with IJ480 as well. The laminate is the important component because it has thermoforming characteristic that tends to prevent the vinyl from shrinking back and bridging. I've even had large companies ask me to quote installation using...

I was spoiled at the first company I worked at. We had a 5' x 20' table that was extremely flat and ridged with a self healing cutting mat. Flat is important if your using safety rulers because they won't conform to the dips in the table. Under one side were 3 9' shelves for storing the most...

I think the first and last have more promise but I can't get past the font you used for "Bad Apples". With the name Bad Apples it needs a tougher or edgy font. If your trying to be sarcastic with the word Bad pick a semi tough front or go all the way to wimpy.

I found that for the most part it is better to hire someone with no experience for production and installation. It's best if they have core values that aren't easily taught like; good attitude, good character, and attention to detail. They also need to be good with their hands and have computer...

The one on the right is easier to read but you could get away with something between the two. Make sure you have web address in a legible font somewhere on all your marketing materials. I now know that it says Newswanger but my mind is trying to make it something familiar - News wranger. I...

Either it was the lighting (grey shift is most noticable morning, evening, and cloudy days) or the yellow faded before the red.

To define if its and ink, material, or both problem, print out a row of 3" or 4" boxes. The first with no ink then progressively get darker to the darkest color you can print. Then follow you normal process; dry, laminate and then hand cut an X in the middle of each, set in in the sun for a few...

I have always like the combination of a free flowing font and a crisp san serif. Always felt like it says creative without sacrificing quality, but that just me. I think you on to something but I'm still guessing what it says "Newswayer"? I like the bolder font but you need to adjust the...

Or you could try a 2 part epoxy resin like they use on bar tops. Mix and pour. I doubt any of these solution will stop the birds when they're mounted 2" off the wall. That hollowed out area isn't creating room for birds to nest, it is the space between the letters and the wall and or the...
