Is every sign different? Is there some reason we can't bid this for you as a screen printed job? We might be able to print it and get it to you for less than your costs are inhouse. Let us know 888-509-7446 -Gene

+1 For one reason or another, he couldn't quote it. This might be due to lack of experience or maybe he really couldn't. I'm not a CNC Guy, I don't know. It was good of him to check the competition for you and be open about it.

That has more to do with your business model and what you consider ethical. Some would bid it again at retail, or even beat the brokers bid. For us, we would just say we can't sell to you due to our business model and not give them any more information. If it was just the one broker, we would...

So I have posted this a few places and might as well post it here to... Sign Design & Idea Guide We're looking for someone to put together an idea guide for yard signs and banners. The project will consist of creating a 12 or 16 page booklet with approximately 150 different ideas for 1-4...

Is it cheating to take the Doc's estimate of the 20th? If it is, I'll take the 21st. See what I did there, I hedged my bets with both dates...

This is very important. Don't pick favorites or anything. Be fair.

That's alot. We don't pay that much. Might check out Grimco? Good luck!

We found a cast iron foot shear on Craigslist a couple years ago for $300. 32" Wide. Works perfectly for something like this. Otherwise, couldn't you have your supplier provide that size for you?

Welcome from Omaha. Very interested to see how this progresses. Let me know!

I don't think it has a very good resistance to UV, but I have seen it used for Real Estate signs all over the place. Tony's right, use the thicker stuff.

Welcome from Omaha!

Supersigns.biz does them. Do you know if they need to be individually numbered?

You're probably talking about corona treating the surface. It raises the dyne level (a way of measuring the surface tension of plastic). We'll flame the surface of older plastic before we print on it if it has been sitting in the shop for a while. This helps with adhesion of ink and furthermore...

I really don't like thinking this way, but if you make it clear to a customer that wind slits are a bad idea, they get it anyway, and the banner tears, isn't that good for business? I see sign shops shops all the time sending out email blasts after storms.

Good luck! Nearly there with 234!

That city's on my list of places to see in the next couple years!

+1000 for the comments above. I'm really not sure who decided they were a good idea in the first place. I'm sure there's some logic behind them somewhere, but never in my experience.

The lack of return phone calls and the time it took to get the answer (even if it was no) is the frustrating part. Customers should not be treated that way, even if they are wrong. Grimco is sometimes bad about getting back with me as well. Not to this extent, but I think they may need to work...

Looks great and GREAT job sticking with it. The poster idea was great. That's a nice little ego boost. Customer: I'm thinking about getting such and such done, do you have any references, or can I see some of your other work? You: Have you seen the police cars lately, I did that. :U...

I'll rent one too. Good idea.
