NickiZ 5 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi - I'm from Indiana and just getting started on signs and stuff. My question is this? Where do you usually put your grommets on coroplast signs? I know in the corner - but what's the best measurement in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickiZ 5 Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks for the response! I've just created 12 double sided 3' x 4' signs for a local 4-H fair and now have to put the grommets in and didn't want to screw up all my hard work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted June 26, 2013 I eyeball it.. about 1/2" in. I guess I am a stickler for measurements I use a combination square and mark 1inch each way where the lines intersect is the center of my gromet so that would make it about 5/8 inch in to the edge of the gromet I suppose . I also do the same when installing a sign on a wall or post by marking a line all around with a combo square and a stabilo then centering the screws on exact center measurements. It just gives it a more uniform professional look . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
