FAQ’S
How much do signs, banners and vehicle wraps cost?
Pricing is dependent on many factors such as size, quantity, substrate, laminates and artwork. A simple lawn sign can cost anywhere from $35 and up and a full vehicle wrap can cost anywhere from $2500 and up. At KD Sign Systems we are happy to work within your budget while providing the best solution to your needs.
What is the most effective sign for my business?
The best sign for any business in one that will attract the most customers and convey your business’s brand identity successfully. All signage must be clear, easy to read and to understand. With over 30 years of combined experience in the sign industry, KD Signs Systems can help advise and pick the best solution for your needs.
Do I need a permit for my new sign?
All cities and towns have permit bylaws. Generally, for any new sign a permit is required if it is outdoors. Whether it’s a ground sign, pylon sign, or storefront sign a permit is required. Permits usually take 2 – 4 weeks to obtain and can cost $200 – $400 and up. We recommend getting permits when required, as you can be asked to take the sign down, and fined without one.
What file formats do you accept?
Files must be provided in one of the following formats: .ai .eps .pdf .tiff .psd. File formats such as .png, .jpg, and .gif are generally not suitable for large format printing. When supplying any raster based images be sure sufficient resolution is used at 100% scale (150-200 ppi for large format printing, 266-300 ppi for offset printing).
Do I need to supply the fonts used in my artwork?
No, but doing so is not a bad idea. To ensure no font replacements happen during the ripping process please convert all text to “Outlines”. In Adobe Illustrator: Select all text and choose Type > Create Outlines. In Adobe Photoshop: Select your text layer and choose Type > Convert to Shape.
What color mode should I be using in my artwork?
To ensure minimal color shifts occurring during the ripping process please supply all artwork in CMYK color mode. It is also recommended to use Pantone (PMS) colors when trying to match colors. The Pantone color system allows people to pick colors that are standardized and print with similar results despite the equipment used.
What substrates options do you offer and what is the most popular?
We offer a large range of substrates available in various colors and thicknesses including: Coroplast, Alupanel, Crezon, Foamcore, Vinyl, Acrylic, Vinyl, Specialty Films, Banner and more! Coroplast is the most popular substrate we offer. Coroplast is simply the plastic equivalent of cardboard and is very light and durable.
How long will my signs last?
The type of vinyl, laminate and substrate your signs/graphic will be applied to is all a determining factor. If your sign will be displayed indoors, generally it will last the life of the business with basic maintenance. If your sign will be displayed outdoors, a overlaminate is strongly recommended as it will help protect from harsh weather conditions and UV sun light.
What type of vinyl and ink do you use?
At KD Sign Systems we don’t believe in cutting corners and using inferior products. We use environmentally friendly HP Latex inks made from recycled products for all our large format printing as well as vinyl and overlaminates from all leading industry manufacturers such as: Orafol, 3M, Avery, Neschen, HP, Securitrim and more.
