Frequently Asked Questions
How does ordering a custom sign work?
We will first send you an order acknowledgment to approve. We will then send you a layout design to approve or change. Before we begin any specific designs we typically require a deposit payment.
If I bring my logo on a disk / CD, what format works best?
Depending on your needs and the design of the sign, many formats are viable. More important is what resolution your picture or image is saved as. Look for larger files. If you have software that tells you the dpi resolution look for 150 dpi at a minimum.
Can you make a sign from a digital photograph?
Yes, and we do often! The better quality the photograph, the better your digital image will turn out!
I see many vehicles that are completely covered in advertising, can SIGN-A-RAMA provide this service?
Yes. You may have heard these graphics called vehicle wraps. If you are interested in vehicle graphics or wraps the best place to start is to meet with one of our designers and talk about options.
If I have special color matching requirements, or need to match my letterhead/business cards, can SIGN-A-RAMA meet my needs?
Yes. Depending on the type of sign and it’s uses, we can match according to your needs.
Do I need a permit for my sign?
You may or may not. We will do the work to find out exactly what you need and help attain the permit before the sign is installed if necessary. The best first step is to call and we can talk about what you may need.
If I am getting a sign installed on my vehicle, how long will my car/truck/van be out of service?
Most vehicles can be lettered in one business day. You can schedule a time and drop off your vehicle, you can also choose to wait in our lobby, or depending upon the graphics, we can do the work at your location.
Can my sign be delivered?
Yes, we can deliver your signs.
Does SIGN-A-RAMA create trade show booths and graphics?
Yes. We can customize them, or sell you pre fabricated, travel booths.
