Description

Plant Location and Shipping Times. Because we work with many different manufacturer's, our products ship from several locations across the United States. We manufacture about 60% of what we sell and those products ship from Montana. For products we distribute, they could ship from New York, Virginia, Chicago, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, or even Nevada. Shipping times vary as do production times.

We are a manufacturer and distributor. We manufacture for sign companies, design firms, architects, construction companies and the general public. We do not offer extended design services or installation. Our letters and logo's are provided to you on a do-it-yourself basis, and by doing so you can save money over having a full service sign company come to your door. Most of our customers either use the website to design their signs or they design it themselves using adobe illustrator, and send us a ready to produce cutting file laid out to their specifications. For those that need a little more personal attention, we can and do, up to a point, provide initial drawings and artwork based on your concept, free of charge. However, since we do not charge for this, and in many cases the initial designs can take over an hour to produce and conceptualize to a customer, there has to be a limit. We will not continue to make changes to any layout over and over for free. If you cannot appreciate that then we strongly recommend that you have a local sign company do the work.

Patterns come in several forms depending on the manufacturer of your letters. For stud mounted installations, your pattern will be the actual, full-size of your finished sign. All letters, numbers, punctuation, and logos (if ordered) will be clearly drawn and properly spaced on the pattern. Signs that have multiple lines of text will be aligned to your specifications and all of the required stud locations are marked on the pattern. For pad mounts or other adhesive based installation methods, you can buy a pounce pattern or use the free spacing tape offered with some of our products. The pounce pattern is a full size, fully aligned and spaced pattern. Instead of it being marked with mounting holes, the letters are drawn on the pattern and perforated around their outer edge. Just tape the pattern in place, rub chalk over the holes to leave a chalk outline on the mounting surface. Install your letters, then wash the off chalk. The free spacing tape only provides spacing information on where to place each sign letter in relation to the one preceding it. Vertical and horizontal alignment will be up to you.

Double sets of rails can be used to span spaces or for uneven surfaces such as corrugated buildings. We provide rails and bolts, max. 8ft. Extra costs apply.

Sample color swatches are NOT available. If you need a color sample you will have to buy a letter in the color you wish to see. Bear in mind that color batches can have some variation between batches of color mixed at the factory. Also bear in mind that we serve many manufacturers and that a color may vary slightly between manufacturer's. Product does not carry a return value for colors that do not meet your specifications when delivered. PANTONE, PPG and SHERWIN WILLIAMS color matching is available on request. Some manufacturer's charge a per color matching fee.
