Hi everyone, urgent request here. Does anyone have any vendor suggestions for a coroplast handle or something similar to this photo attached? Flutes got printed horizontally, so it can't be a wire holder. This is for an event next Thursday and I need about 180-200 pieces in the $1-$5.50 per...

I've come across this a few times, but have never gotten a solid answer on why aluminum VS acrylic. I've got 2 projects going and both customers requested 1" deep aluminum channel letters, stud mounted with pads; I proposed an option B which is 1" thick routed acrylic letters at almost half...

Long story short, I was with a small franchise for 7 years and chambers always work. Fastforward, I am a new outside salesmen with a regional sign company and the Chamber meetings have been garbage for the wider range of products we sell. Meetup.com site is chalked full of chamber-esque people...

I've been outside sales for 2.5 years for a small franchise, but with the company for 6 years under various other positions except production unless needed. I would love to buy the store from the franchisee, but that's not realistic at the moment, and it's time for a change for my...

Long story short, I'm the only outside sales guy in a small franchise shop that does about ~700k /year, I account for about 400k of the store sales and manage several accounts.

However, our standard "recipe" for second surface acrylic signs is we print the graphic on clear (reverse image), then apply opaque white vinyl on...

To all the outside sales people; do any of you have an assistant that works for you on the inside while you're on the field? I find time management to be very hard between meeting customers, doing surveys and writing up work orders, making sure your orders are being taken care of etc. etc.. How...

Our company just purchased a vision engraver/router 2550 2x4 machine. I say "just" purchased, but it was March of 2015. Our main operator is a good guy and has learned quite a bit by himself (routing acrylic/ada/gator/ultra board/polystyrene stencils etc). One of the things we haven't been able...

Long story short, I currently work as an employee for a reputable sign franchise and have been with them for over 4.5 years. I went from a "hybrid" inside sales/counter boy and assistant graphic designer, to outside sales rep just this past March when we went under new ownership; this was...

Ya know, I've been selling signs for about 4.5 years, and every time I email my supplier, my exact words are "whatever is cheapest" when asking for a quote for a tenant panel or pylon sign... But can anyone give me a definitive answer as to what the MAJOR differences are in Polycarbonate, VS...

I have a customer requesting a battery powered LED dimensional acrylic sign. They are in a union owned building and have to contract a union worker to install any electrical signs. Does anyone have a suggestion for BATTERY POWERED LED modules? It's 1 small sign 30" x 72", mounted with stand offs...

Long time lurker, former member under a different name. We just purchased a new GBC spire II laminator (64"). Our old GBC is on bricks as you can see in the attachment due to our table height (been in business for 20 years and im sure it's the same table). We're under new ownership currently...

Long time lurker, first time poster under this name - I have had a USED 30" Desay Master cutter XY 380 P (don't even get me started on this thing), that I bought when I didn't know what the hell I was doing 2 years ago, and I am moving up even if i'm moving down.... My budget is limited, and I...
