Testimonials

These signs look fantastic! We are very very happy with them and will most likely be ordering more down the road. They not only look great but are extremely convenient and easy to setup. Perhaps even our having them will drive a little more business your way.

Thanks again!

Made from durable plastic, the portable sign frame is hollow and allows you to fill it with sand or water as needed to keep your signs in place, even in windy weather.

What is the turnaround time?

Normal turnaround time is 4-5 days if you're ordering a graphic with your display hardware. For hardware only orders, the turnaround time is usually 1-2 days. During the order process you will be asked if you have a specific due date, and if you do, we will adjust your shipping method, if necessary, to get your order to you on time. If you need your order even quicker, we also have a rush service. If you authorize rush charges, we can get your order shipped the same day or the next day. Rush charges are typically 50% of your order up to a maximum of $75. If we're able to meet your deadline without bumping other jobs, we won't actually charge the rush charge, but you must authorize the rush to guarantee delivery.

How big should my files be to print well?
We recommend that bitmap images such as digital photos be 150dpi at the actual print size in order to look good from close range. Larger display graphics tend to viewed from further away, so if that's the case, lower resolution files of 72-100 dpi at the actual print size can be used and still look good from 5 feet away. We use special software to enlarge smaller images to their full print size, but the larger the original file, the better the results will be. If you're images are smaller than we recommend, which is common for larger prints, it's important to consider viewing distance as well. A print that shows a lack of resolution due to enlargement up close, might look just fine from arms length. We've printed images at 16 feet wide from 8 megapixel cameras that look very good from five feet away, so where a print will be displayed and how close you expect it to be viewed from are important to consider when deciding how large a print can be made. When in doubt, send us your file and we'll examine it and let you know how large we think it can go and still look good.
How stable is the A-Frame in windy conditions?

The A-frame sign holder is very stable in the moderate wind. Without adding sand for ballast, it's generally stable enough to withstand around 15 mph winds or more. Obviously it's more stable with the addition of sand, but with enough wind, it can still tip over. For use in very windy areas, we recommend the WindSign as an alternative.

How hard is it to change graphics on the plastic A-Frame sign holder?
Unless instructed otherwise, we attach the sign faces to the plastic A-frame sign holder with velcro, so graphic changes are quick and easy. Replacement graphics just need to have hook velcro around the perimeter to stick to the loop velcro applied to the sign holder. This makes it easy to maintain a library of signs that can be changed out in seconds as needed.

 

When you're ready to order, you can use the main menu above or use the Place Order button next to each item in the Pricing tab. This section will cover in detail the steps you need to take to place an order using our order form.

Step 1: Choose the specific model you want to order

When you first open the order form, there will be an expanding list of items on the left. If you use the Place Order button, you can skip to the next step otherwise, choose the Display Hardware option, then choose Outdoor Displays & Sign Hardware: Outdoor Portable Displays, and select either the Display Only Without Graphics or Display with Graphics category. Then choose the specific model of display you wish to order. If you haven't already decided on a model, you can choose different items and read their descriptions to help you make a choice.

Step 2: Enter the quantity and any special instructions

Once you enter the quantity, you will be given a price and a Special Instructions box will appear where you can enter any information you need to pass along about your order. Once you are done, click Continue to add the item to your shopping cart.

Step 3: Check out

Once you've complete all the previous steps, click the Add to Cart button to add this item to your shopping cart. On the shopping cart screen you can see all the items you've added to your order, delete any that you don't want, and have another chance to upload your file if you chose Upload Later from the order form. You can also choose Add Another to add another item to your order.

You don't need to log in or create an account to select and add items to your shopping cart, but you will need to do so in order to complete your order. This is so your account history can be maintained for future reference and ordering convenience. Your account information is secure and confidential, and creating an account WILL NOT result in unwanted e-mails from us, or anyone else.

Once you have placed all the items you want in your cart, and are logged in to your account, click the Order Now button. You will be asked to specify either normal turnaround time for your order, or provide a specific due date. If you do specify a due date, you will also be given the option to authorize rush charge for your order. Rush charges are 50% of your order total, up to a maximum of $75. If we don't have to bump other jobs to meet your deadline, you won't be charged the rush fee, but if you don't authorize the charges, we'll do what we can to complete your order on time, but won't go so far as to bump other jobs. If you specify a due date, we will adjust the shipping method, if necessary, to ensure your order arrives by the date you specified.

Next you will be asked to select the shipping method, and finally the payment type. You should know that your credit card is not being charged when you submit the form. We are collecting the information for your order, but you will not be charged until we have verified your order to make sure there were no mistakes made. That way, if there are aspects of your order that change, we can adjust the order and the shipping cost, if necessary, before you are charged.

Once you click the Order button, you will receive an order summary via e-mail for your records, and we will receive your order and the process can begin.

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, please Contact Us and we'll be happy to help you with the process.
