  3. Advice on application tables

    We bought a Fayon smart table direct from the manufacturer in China, these things are pretty basic and didn't see any need in blowing a pile of money on one. Nobody liked it at first but it's invaluable once you get the hang of it, it gets used every day. I've never had an issue getting parts...
  4. Help with making aluminum signs!

    They won't hold up. It really has to be engraved,, we have had to do a pencil rubbing many times to get serial numbers off of parts and machines.
  5. Wholesaler for anti graffiti prints

    IIRC, a lot of the dry erase laminates aren't for outdoors. Vandalguard is an anti-graffiti laminate that can be used as dry erase
  6. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    I often wonder if these "wholesalers" solicit direct business if they see enough volume coming through from one of their sign shop customers. Similar to what Amazon did to sellers years back. Under a different name of course so nobody knows the difference
  7. Super Duty lifting

    It's embossed, not a badge. Fill it with bondo if you keep having issues.
  8. Estimates & Invoices

    Some people are real assholes. If it wasn't this she would have found some other reason to short change him. Your son will learn how to spot these types and avoid them, I am pretty sure we have all been there at the beginning of our business ventures.
  9. Help with making aluminum signs!

    Why would you replace these or even take them off? We have a construction equipment paint shop and always mask them off. If there's a pile of rust behind them, which is rare, we will remove it and put it back on after. Never replaced a serial plate though
  10. 3M 8508 alternative

    Oracal 215 lasts a very long time, on par with cast, but they raised the price so high that it's hard to justify.

    I haven't but it looks pretty neat. Old fashioned finger eater
  12. Need Wholesaler for Carton Boxes

    Have you looked into the packaging industry at all? It takes some serious equipment to be a player in that arena, more than just a cutter.

  14. Suggestions Rush fees

    It seems like customers have become chronically behind and more demanding on delivery time in the past year. We never charged a rush fee and try to accommodate legitimate needs but do agree that it has become annoying and intrusive. As ikarasu said, it throws off everything and tends to make...
  15. Buying A Sign Business

    Are there any big standout points in there that you'd be able to elaborate on?
  16. laminating table

    Semantics here but they should really be called and sold as a mounting table. They really suck at film lamination but are great for mounting SAV to substrates
  17. Estimates & Invoices

    I was under the assumption that labor is exempt in Florida if labor was the only component of the job i.e. you installed a sign provided by another person. Once there are taxable tangible goods involved of any kind, the entire thing is now subject to sales tax. I could be wrong but that is...
  18. Estimates & Invoices

    Each state is different on sales tax laws. Labor as part of a finished product is taxed no matter how you decide to book it and splitting labor on a manufactured item to lower sales tax would be tax evasion even in Florida. I'd make the assumption that an install could go either way and one...
  19. Aluminum Composite vs Aluminum vs Alumalite ??

    to be fair, too many people head straight for the cheap crap, especially with paint. We are debating ACM here which I would consider a cheap substrate and kind of proves this point. You can get paint that lasts but the majority of paint related questions here indicate water based house paint...
