How much is a sign?

Every project we do is completely custom, so general pricing is not available for all signs. Cost depends on design time, materials used, installation time, travel requirements among other factors. Talk to us about your project - we can determine the best way forward and give you a custom quote. 

There are a few more straight-forward sign types. For these you can reference the below links.

How should I take care of my sign?

Banners should be taken down as soon as they are not needed. To store, ROLL do not fold. Roll with the graphic on the inside and store in a clean, dry location.

How do I keep my vehicle wrap looking awesome?

Wash your wrap once a week or more often if your vehicle is exposed to a lot of dirt or pollutants. Use gentle automotive detergent - any good brand will work. Always use a nice automotive sponge or clean, soft cloth to wash your wrap. Rinse vehicle with clear water after washing. Minimize water spotting by using a silicone squeegee or chamois to remove water. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

You can bring your wrapped vehicle to an automated brushless car wash, though hand washing is safer and more thorough. Brush car washes may be too rough on the film, degrading it and causing peeling and lifted edges. If a car wash uses water spray and no brushes, it should be safe for most wraps.

Clean bird droppings and difficult stains immediately. Wipe off fuel spills immediately, then hand wash the affected area. 

Inspect your vehicle wrap often. Let us know right away if you see any bubbling, lifting or other possible failure. Your wrap installation is warrantied for 3 years - the sooner we can take a look at the problem the easier it is to fix.
