Most people assume "a sign is a sign is a sign," and may think that the way in which signs are made is unimportant... But did you know there are at least 23 different decisions made by a sign-maker when creating either a cheap or a quality sign? They include:
​
  1. Type of material(s)
  2. Material grade
  3. Material thickness
  4. Material treatment
  5. Material finish
  6. Orientation and spacing of logo
  7. Graphics clarity
  8. Color calibration and intensity
  9. Cutting technique (shear, router, plasma, laser, water jet)
  10. Tabs vs floating drops
  11. Deburring technique
  12. Layering technique
  13. Bracketing specifications
  14. Type of adhesive or connectors
  15. LED light wattage/brightness
  16. Quantity of LED lights
  17. Placement of LED lights
  18. Type of finish (natural, matte, semi-gloss, gloss)
  19. Layers and thickness of finish
  20. Finish QC (dust particle filters, touch-ups, polish, wet-sand & buff, etc)
  21. Intermediate inspection & resemblance to rendering
  22. Final inspection & resemblance to rendering
  23. Padding & packaging technique

​Each of these decisions will not only have a far-reaching impact on the appearance and life of your sign, but they can also influence how a potential customer interprets the quality of your brand, products and services. Not every sign is made equal, and we like sign-makers who err on the side of caution and quality! Even though it may not be the fastest and cheapest way to make a sign, taking the high road for each of these decisions (and any others that crop up along the way) ensures the highest level of aesthetics, detail, quality, durability and longevity.

    A famous man once said, "If you're good at something, never do it for free!" That was the Joker. A better man once said, "Strap on your boots son, the neighbors need help." That was my dad. Like, every Saturday. =) This info is a free service for you, in his honor. I hope it helps you and your business to grow!
