Q: What's an eProof?

A:
An eProof is a sample of your Custom Street Signs so that you will know what your sign will look like before you receive it. When you eProof please yield.gif (2063 bytes)place your Street Name Sign order, make sure that you request an eProof. When your order is received by Sign Avenue we use our best graphic judgment in putting together a sample of the Custom Street Sign(s) that you've just ordered. The eProof will be E-mailed to you in a GIF or JPG format. If the first generation eProof is not what you expected, we encourage you to request changes. So, in other words, we like happy customers. We don't want you to pay for your Custom Street Sign until you're happy with what it's going to look like. Processing for an eProof(s) takes approximately 48 hours.


Q: What is the difference between Flat and Extruded
street signs?


A:
Extruded sign blanks are well suited for signs that
will be installed outdoors using specialized sign hardware
like our Wing Bracket. Note that these sign blanks have
thicker portions along the top and bottom sides.

Flat sign blanks are great for signs that are going to
be mounted directly on the wall, as well as bracket
mounted. You can specify pre-drilled holes, but pre-
drilling is not necessary if using any of our brackets.


Q: How long would my street sign it take and what would it cost? Do you accept checks and/or money orders? Lastly, do you make street signs w/ white letters & a blue background? Thanks, your signs look the best of all I've seen so far!

A:
We can do white on blue but it would take a few days longer. Normally our street signs take 10 to ship out via UPS once your payment has been received (for personal checks add an additional 4 days). I recommend that you go to our Shopping Marketing to get your total cost, and see our terms of sale. You can order the Wing Bracket there too. Make sure to give is information about how you'd like your final sign to look in the Comments section, and we'll send you a final eProof.


Q: What size would I need for my street name? I'm thinking
30" x 6", but if it can fit on the smaller 24" x 6" that would be better, since I don't have a million dollars!


A:
We can vary the letter sizes to fit as many as many as 18 letters and spaces on a 36" x 6" sign.  A general rule of thumb is that the 24" x 6" sign will fit up to 10-11 letters and spaces, the 30" x 6" sign will fit up to 12-13 letters, and like I said earlier we can fit up to 18 letters and spaces on the 36" x 6" sign, but the letters will be smaller. If all else fails; take your best shot - we'll design your sign for you and send you an eProof for your approval.


Q: I live out in the country on a lake and the roads need signs and directional arrows. I would like to know if these signs can be used for street identification and for directions? Can you put arrows on the signs to give directions and will the signs hold up under adverse weather conditions?

A:
Thanks for your inquiry. See example below. We could something like that. And for your information; our Street Sign aluminum blanks are better than the real thing. Theft and getting run over by vehicles are usually the only predators. Plus we use Premium Vinyl, rated at 5 years (outdoor durability).
