Our install team is having difficulty installing Oralite 5600 reflective vinyl on a police car.
The moment the vinyl touches the vehicle, it sticks and there's no ability to work with it at all.
We're seeing lots of air bubbles and it's not working very well around the contour lines of the...
Is there any way to measure the exact dimensions of a sign that is too high to reach with a ladder?
We rent bucket trucks for the installs but because we don't own the truck, it's expensive to rent one just so we can take measurements.
If there's a tool we can use to measure signs like this...
Definitely a valid point but I'm in a slightly different position.
I own a marketing agency and we recently purchased a sign company so I wasn't brought up in the industry and I'm learning as we go along.
The guys who run the shop are talented and great at what they do, but I'm working...
We don't sell a ton of magnets but we do get requests and I'm not sure how others are pricing theirs?
Also - where do you purchase your magnets from?
If anybody would be willing to share how they price their magnets, it'd be truly appreciated!
Thank you.
We have a great installer and designer on our team but I've struggled to find a good person to run production.
I'm considering allocating the money we spend on our production salary to instead using outsourced printers instead.
The biggest risk I see is it means we won't be able to do jobs on...
Gloss, satin, matte, chrome, “color flip”?
Printed gloss (it's not actually a color change, was just saying that so people have an idea of the coverage).
3M, Avery, Oracal, KPMF, other?
Do you give your wrap clients that many options?
We'll be using 3M/Avery cast vinyl printed.

How much would you charge for a full wrap (it's printed, but essentially a color change) on a 2018 Nissan NV2500 high top in your local market?
It will include all exterior surfaces, from the bottom up to the edges as it begins it to wrap over the edges.
I know what we charge for labor and...
We use the VCAT-2 for working vinyl into crevices or curves on vehicles and some other applications.
However, these cost $200 for what is essential a handle and a foam roller, which seems exorbitant.
Can anybody recommend a similar tool that is less expensive?
Thank you in advance!
Does anybody know where I can find a trade printer for menus like you see in the attached picture? Spiral bound with double-lamination on 8.5" x 14" paper.
Thanks in advance for any leads!
We received some mail recently about their new colored vinyl. It's cheap but it's an unknown for me.
Has anybody tried it that can vouch for their material quality?
Thanks in advance!
I started a marketing agency a few years ago and recently purchased a sign company we'd often collaborate with. So if it's a rookie question, that's a fair assessment...I'm not an industry veteran (but I'm pushing myself to learn quickly).
What I'm looking for is something like you see on the...
We're looking to purchase things like:
Decorative caps that go on the top of signs across the full width (i.e. a 8' wide x 4' tall sign)
An insert that would allow us to install said 8' x 4' sign attached to the middle of a 4"x4" instead of screwing into the front of the 4"x4" post
I'm...
All electrical work will be performed by a licensed electrician so I'm really just trying to figure out how to hang the signs themselves.
I think I may be overthinking things.
I'm going to order a channel sign for our own business from Gemini and we'll see how the install goes and take things...
