We're venturing into new territory and would like to build out a frame for 6 signs that will be placed inside a brick structure that is already built (picture below). I spoke with our primary supplier and while they can provide some of the material, they don't sell the type of framing we'd need...

Half of my posts on here are typically met with loud roar from people complaining that I shouldn't be in the business because I don't know everything about the business. But I purchased the company and I wasn't born an expert, so it's worth taking the grief to tap into the collective industry...

I need to order a 15' panel suitable for outdoor usage. Our current substrate providers (Grimco and Harbor Sales) only go up to 12'. Where do you guys order your larger panels? Preferably ones that can be pre-cut before delivery. Thanks!

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...

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...

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!

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

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!

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...

We are looking to print 3,000 copies of a 70-page catalog we've created and need to find a competitively priced printer. Do trade printers for print services like this exist? If so, can you recommend one? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hey folks, We've had some requests for clear wraps to put on cars to protect the paint jobs and would like to be able to offer this as a service. I have a few questions I'm hoping somebody may be able to help answer: Vendors - Does anybody know of a good vendor who sells these clear wraps...

We want to be able to offer more complex signs like channel signs. Designing and manufacturing we have covered. I know for the electrical piece of things well will need to contract a licensed electrician which isn't an issue either. I'm just trying to figure out the actual install. I've...

For those of you who do vehicle wraps... Can you offer any input on wrapping outdoors during the winter? Our garage is only 12' tall so when we get large box trucks and semis we have to do them outside. I'm interested in possibly finding a very powerful space heater that can heat enough space...

A client of ours would like to put some cut vinyl on the side of their smoker but I'm not sure how much heat will be too much for the vinyl. Does anybody have any experience with this? Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

We're going to be hanging a 5'x12' aluminum sign above a storefront and they'd like to illuminate it. Can anybody recommend a good solution for illuminating an aluminum sign like this? Specific light recommendations would be great. Thanks in advance!

I'm well aware it will not be an easy job no matter what we do but I'm charging hourly for the service so I'm okay with that. However, does anybody have any recommendations for ways to speed up the removal of some very old vinyl on a semi--trailer full wrap? Any guess as to how long it will...
