VinylM 0 Posted October 11, 2019 Can anyone recommend where they get their aluminum substrates for outdoor signage? Best prices? How to you charge for this kind of application? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,460 Posted October 11, 2019 GRIMCO is a leading supplier of sheets of MaxMetal (composite). I triple my cost of substrates, and then add the pricing for vinyl (design/cut/apply). 4x8 sign is $100 for the single-colored decal (one side of sign) and $300 for substrate MaxMetal. Delivery/installation at the job site is extra-- it can run a few hundred more dollars just for that aspect, especially if I require a helper and/or there is height involved. (ladders and/or man lift). I also sometimes add a "P.I.A. TAX" if the work seems like it will involve 'back-and-forth' design changes with the client.
