Hi ya'l, I am looking for the best vinyl to apply to signs I will be making for trucks. The signs will be mounted on the front bumper of the truck and the back bumper of the trailer for over size loads. The signs are 7 feet long and 18" tall. The vinyl letter will be black (it will be attacked to the reflective material which will be attached to the panel) and the letters are 12" tall, blocked and 2 brush strokes ( I hope that is the right way of saying it). Oracal 751 has been recommend to me. I just want to know is there other brands that are as good in quality as this one. Thank you all in advance for any info you can give. I am a newbie to signage and these simple signs are the only signs I will be creating. I make webbing cargo straps and I am adding the sign making to my existing business. Thank you and God bless,

Greetings everyone, I have a home business making securment straps from webbing for truckers to secure their loads with. I am getting ready to expand that to include making "Wide Load" signs for them. These signs are very simple, they are an aluminum panel that I cover with professional grade reflective vinyl and then I will be cutting the lettering out in regular black vinyl to attach to the reflective. My question is this: 1. I will not be doing fancy graphics or printing of any kind, just simply cutting out block letters, so which machine would any of you recommend? We will be making about 5 to 8 signs a week is all. I sent an email to US Cutters and the guy that responded had no clue, he suggested I contact this forum, this did not instill a lot of confidence in US Cutters. 2. I also asked for a list of all the items I would need to get set up, and get started, i.e. supplies, tools, table covers, ext , he did not even address this issue, i guess they don't want to make a sale or something. Can anyone here help with this? Before I started my securment business i did a lot of research, as I am doing here. US Cutters came highly recommend. Was I misled? Anyway, any help would be most appreciative Thank you God bless, Miss Frida 6:19 Industries We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6:19

Thank you all for taking the time to help. By the way the letters will be 12", that covers all states. My son, who owns 2 trucks and 3 specialty trailers and drives all over the USA and Canada ( 17 years) does nothing but over sized loads. Making the signs is his idea. I can't tell you the width of the letters, he told me, I wrote it down and now I have misplaced my notes. That is what I get for cleaning off my desk. Thank you all again, God bless, Miss Frida 6:19 Industries We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6:19
