The Process of Creating a Sign
- We use AutoCAD® (Computer Aided Drafting) to determine the best layout, graphics, text, and letter placement per your design specifications and local regulations.
- We fax a scaled drawing of each sign design (with options) for your approval.
- Our CAD program plots the text and graphics to cut films and sheeting.
- Cutting the substrate, we sand and seal the edges (HDO), then prepare the substrate to be covered completely with a layer of press rolled film such as Hi-Intensity.
- The text layer is weeded by hand using positive or negative weeding methods as per requirements.
- This layer is transfer-taped, positioned onto the sheet-covered substrate, and roll-pressed under high pressure to assure smoothness and positive contact in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
- Our signs go through several quality check inspections throughout the entire process to ensure uniformity of our signs.
- Our signs are not finished until they have been closely inspected once again, approved, and packaged using a special 3M™ sheeting to protect from shipping damage.
- We ship UPS, commercial carrier, tracking your order as needed.
