  1. I had a customer that wanted a sign in MDO but all the letters were cut out. We are going to add them to a wall. Each letter is 16" tall took a full sheet to get all the letters cut out. Over all space is about 12' long and 4' tall. I have a cnc to cut the letters then they were primed, painted and clear coated.  I am just at a loss as how to price this one. 364797000_769570708508969_3064351024198698226_n.thumb.jpg.85eb2fd2c1f63e3710e989bf726813fa.jpg


  2. My brain can not take anymore fonts lol.  This is a difficult one as it was hand painted many years ago. The son wants to recreate this logo and door  lettering . I have everything but the Bros. Cannot find a font close to it. Or my eyes are not letting me do it. Can anyone give me a hand on it.

  3. Do you hand fold them or use a folder? the first order that I passed on was in memory of. They wanted them by the end of the day, I told them to go to the next big town. How do you deal with then just giving you a copy on a sheet of paper saying this is what we want? I get so many orders that way, even in vinyl and other work we do.


  4. I have been getting a lot more flyer printing requests. Does anyone here do them? If so what do you use to print them? I was looking at just using a high-end copy machine. Any help would be great, thanks.

    Holy cow man, I googled that and its a lot if vectors and images. I assume you are printing?

    Yeah was going to print some out. I could just go and do individual stickers lol and have them put them on.


  6. Looking for the "Gambles" font. Have found a couple close but the G is wrong or the font is handwritten. I tried what the font and it would not recognize it. Thank you in advance for any help.

    Your price is fair.  Sometimes when a new guy is starting up you get the impression you need to bend over to get business. Not so. I usually just shrug and say I can't touch it for that cheap. About half the time they will call you back. 

    Yeah i know I am the cheapest in the area, have been for a few years now. I just think this one got under my skin. Then i really got a insult when he said he was thinking of 150 for it all. Not like he does not know what my stuff runs he has had several store fronts done but us.


  8. Got a order to do a store front and i was nice since i did work before for them and gave them a quote for 280$ plus install time. This will take about 28feet of 651 layered in 3 layers for some. The wording is about 4 inches by 65 inches. The white lettering is 24 inches by 36 inches, the logo is about the same size. Open sign is 26 inches by 17 inches and the WE DELIVER is about the same size, Don't worry about the contour it messed up on file transfer. They want me to make it all for $150 and install as well as prep the old windows. They also want me to build a hanger and hang a 5'x6' sign, change the number on said sign. I have heard of doing it cheap but i think even that is way too low. Let me know what you would price it at even just a ballpark shot. Untitled-4.thumb.jpg.476865d28c865801a1489286c99a7d3e.jpg


  9. I have a sign job that the guy wants to last 50 years. It is a plaque for a building  dedication 24" x 24" out of the sun most of the time. They are on a limited budget. anyone out there have either a laser cutter or cnc? I will have the file ready to go? he really wants to have it wooden. This pic is close to what they want. I was going to sublimate it but not sure if it would last even 10 years out in the weather.

  10. It was a pain but i remade the copy i had. Thank you  for the help though. I this was not such a big project it would be no problem using any i found. All the local sign turned these people down so i stepped up and got all their business. I will post a Image of the finished project.
