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!

WindSign Portable Sign Holders

WindSign outdoor sign frames make great portable signs for directing traffic or attracting customers to your store or event. They are an upgraded alternative to A-Frame signs that are even more stable in the wind and easier to move when weighted thanks to the built in wheels. The sign face connects to the base with springs, which allows the sign to flex in strong winds and return to an upright position, so it's virtually impossible to tip over, even in the strongest winds.

These portable plastic sign holders have the following features:

  • Springs connect the portable sign frame to the base allowing the sign to resist strong winds and return to an upright position. The WindSign II resists head-on winds up to 60 mph, and the WindSign Deluxe up to 50 mph, depending on how much sand is added to the base.
  • "Quick change" feature enables sign blanks to be changed in seconds and stay securely in place. The new Stay Tab design on the WindSign II and WindSign Deluxe requires no clips or special treatments to hold the graphics in place.
  • Plastic base with factory installed wheels can be weighted with up to 115 lbs of dry sand.
  • Attractive plastic sign frame design eliminates torn miters and jammed latches. Won't rust or splinter.
  • Two-sided (hold two signs per frame). Can accommodate coroplast, or any sign material up to 3/16" thick. See Specifications tab for more details.

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 WindSign in windy conditions?

Since the base can be filled with sand, and the sign face is mounted on springs, it's very stable. The WindSign II can withstand head-on winds up to 60 mph, and the WindSign Deluxe can withstand head-on winds up to 50 mph. See the Specifications tab for more details.

How hard is it to set up the WindSign?
The setup is very easy and takes about 5 minutes, and it can be done by a single person. Signs are held in place by slots at the top and bottom, so graphics can be inserted in seconds with no tools. Two sign clips are provided with each WindSign I to help secure the edges of the graphics in the center of the frame for extra security. The WindSign II and Deluxe have Stay Tabs built in to the frame and require no clips.

 

When you're ready to order, you can use the Place Order button next to each item in the Pricing tab, and the Pricing/Order wizard will prompt you for the necessary information such as quantities and options, and allow you to see the shipping costs.

You can choose to order the stand without a banner, or choose from one of the available banner options. A description of each material will appear when you make a selection, and the price will update to reflect your current choice.

If necessary, you can click the Products tab in the wizard and choose a different model from the drop down menu.

If you are ordering graphics with a display, you will also be asked to indicate how you are sending your files and how you want us to handle cropping, if necessary. You will also be allowed to choose whether or not you want a proof, and if so, what kind of proof you would like. You can choose a reduced size printed proof for $30, which will be printed on the same material as your final print, or you can choose to have us evaluate your file to look for any potential problems and send a pdf proof for $15. A reduced size printed proof of the overall design is good for proofing color, or we can print a section of the graphic at full size so you can see how an image will look when blown up. If we feel the file will print poorly or your file doesn't scale to the correct size, we will always contact you to discuss your options before printing, so if you've already examined your files before sending them, a proof is often not necessary, but since custom printed graphics cannot be returned, a proof is your best way to verify what the final print will look like in advance.

Lastly, there is a Special Instructions field where you can provide any information you think we may need to process your order correctly.

Once you've provided all the required information, you can add the item to the shopping cart where you can either check out, or choose to continue shopping to return to the page you came from. 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 a chance to upload your file.

You don't need to create an account to complete your order, but doing so will allow your account history to be maintained for future reference and ordering convenience. The only account information that is stored are your billing, shipping, and e-mail addresses, and this information is secure and confidential. Creating an account WILL NOT result in unwanted e-mails from us, or anyone else.

To finish your order, 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. If you need your order completed in less than the normal 4-5 day turnaround, you should authorize rush charges to ensure you get your order on time. 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. In this case, extra shipping charges may apply.

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.
