Should I choose a sign holder or print to a placard?
Sign holders (casements) and printed placards each have specific advantages and disadvantages.

    Sign Holders/Frames

• Sign holders (frames) require that artwork be printed to paper or thin film media and inserted into the sign holder.
• Sign holders allow for removable prints which can easily be replaced if future diagram changes are required.
• Sign holder paper inserts can warp/disfigure in high humidity environments.
• Sign holders do not offer casement size flexibility as is available with a printed plaque product.
• Photoluminescent sign holders (glow in the dark) are only available in a frame format.

    Placards/Prints

• Placards are well suited for high humidity and are more durable.
• Placards can be cut to any size/shape using our CNC routers.
• Placards are available in plastic metal or acrylic.
• Placards can be mounted with decorative fasteners, including Stand-Off hardware.
• Placards are light and can be mounted with VHB adhesive tape.
• Placards must be replaced if revisions to diagrams are required.

Which placard is the most durable and vandal resistant?
The AC 1/8'' acrylic plaque is our most durable and vandal resistant sign. We developed this product for industrial applications where durability and water resistance is a must. It has since become our flagship sign product for schools and dormitories. This composite sign has artwork reverse printed (sub-surface) to 1/8'' acrylic and a sheet of Sintra (PVC) is applied to the back. The sign is hermetically sealed between two layers and is protected from scratches and environmental hazards. The AC plaque can be pre-drilled for mounting with standard screws or stand-off hardware application (stand-off spacer lifts sign from wall to reduce mold buildup and assists with maintenance).

How much do the products cost?
All sign orders are custom-made and printed to client specifications and due to the uniqueness of each project and volume order discounts; prices are not posted online. To receive pricing, please complete the quote request form and specify your project needs; a firm quote would be provided within 24 hours.

What is the payment policy?

Existing clients and clients with approved credit are extended NET 30 day payment. Payment by company check or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) is accepted.

Artwork Guidelines

Clients are welcome to send us finished artwork for printing. Client provided artwork can be uploaded online; please read our Print ready Guidelines.

• Your digital artwork must be the same size as your chosen print size.
• All important graphics should be 1/4’’ away from the art board edge (see example)
• If sign mounting hardware is used, ensure hardware does not obstruct your graphics.
• Fill out the online Quote Form and indicate graphics services are not required.

What type of file are accepted?

We process all common image formats, including JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, etc.
Our preferred image type is JPEG, which produces excellent print results! We do not accept PDF or DWG files.

Image resolution?

All image files should be high resolution, 300 dpi, for best print results.

How large of a file can I upload?

You can upload files up to 50 MB in size. Should your images be larger than 50 MB, the best place to start would be checking that they are saved in JPEG format (TIFF's generally produce larger file sizes, at no real advantage for print quality).
