Wholesale source for sandblasted wood signs?

I think onions are disgusting. It doesn't mean restaurants shouldn't serve them.

We are not talking about onions, we are talking about sh*t on a stick.

But it's not the wholesalers job to redesign what's sent to him/her/them. They're doing work for other sign companies, not end users. The problem isn't the wholesaler, it's the sign shop that designed and sold the sign.

Blame game. It is the state of a failed industry. When the product sucks and everyone keeps on making it. Nobody cares if it is the designer or the wholesaler or the whoever, the end result is a product that sucks being sold.

This argument isn't logical.

So do printers, embroiderers, screen printers, promotional product manufacturers etc. all have the responsibility to fix design flaws and make sure everything looks pretty to their eyes before production?

They're in the wholesale business. The sign shop ordering the products is to blame for bad design.

Garbage in...... garbage out.


Do you know how many perfectly ugly made signs ya see in a day ?? Quite a few. Regardless who makes, designs or fabricates them..... you can only do so much to prevent ugly.

It's my thread and I'm talking about onions.

Hahahahaaaaa.......... matters not, they both turn to garbage eventually.

Besides, there's something wrong with someone who doesn't like onions. That's just plain wrong.​

Onions are the mosquito of the vegetable world.

But this proves my point...I hate onions. Other people love them and eat them raw. It doesn't mean either person is wrong and it doesn't mean they shouldn't be on a menu. If Player deems a sign "ugly", it's his prerogative not to print/manufacture it. But to throw down a blanket statement that implies a manufacturer that receives 'awful colors or art' shouldn't manufacture the product is like saying a restaurant is wrong for putting onions in their food of that you're wrong for liking onions (which you are, by the way).

Again, here is your problem. You are trying to make sense from something 'player' has said. Mistake #1

#2. Listening to anyone on this forum and making it gospel is very very wrong.

We all are who we are by all of our own decisions. Therefore, you can't blame anyone else, but one's own self. No one held a gun to your head to make you eat or not eat onions and no one is holding a gun to anyone for making perfectly made ugly signs. BUT it's done each and everyday. It's become a part of this industry, the same way signs used to last 25 years and today, ya barely get 7 years for simple signs. You say things enough times and eventually the masses will go along with it. Yep, that thar is ugly. But it was cheap, so that makes it Okay.

Thanks guys.

I think the older sign guys see the difference, whereas the newer entries see what the current market is and take it from there. When I started, even block letters took a degree of skill to produce.

Yeah, we used to use them extensively where I used to work, but they don't do turnkey (painting, etc.). I'd like a turnkey source....should have mentioned that.

There's a place in Ohio that does it for $60/sf shipped (wood) and $62/sf shipped (HDU). Might give them a try.[/QUOT


What is the place in Ohio called? I am also looking for a source

Thank You
