Frequently Asked Questions


Yes, we provide full-service installation for the signs we produce. Our team will handle the logistics, mounting, and safety compliance involved with putting your signs in place. Whether it’s a small interior sign in an office lobby or a large outdoor sign mounted on a business facade, we ensure that every installation is completed professionally and securely. We also coordinate with city permitting offices and property managers as needed, saving you time and headaches.


We accept a variety of formats to make things easy for you. For best results, we recommend vector files that can be scaled without losing resolution. We can accept files in any format, but the quality of the file determines the quality of the finished product. If you’re unsure whether your file is suitable, our team can review it and help make any necessary adjustments to ensure it’s print-ready.


Timelines vary based on the scope and complexity of the job. For standard printing projects like stickers or banners, we typically deliver within three to five business days. Custom signage, particularly ADA-compliant signs or those requiring permits and installation, can take four to six weeks. Giclée printing for artists often depends on file readiness and proofing needs. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear and realistic timeline so you know what to expect.


Absolutely. We have extensive experience in ADA signage and are frequently consulted by contractors, designers, and architects throughout the Bay Area.
