Frequently Asked Questions - Signs of All Kinds

How do I send you my logo?

What sizes and shapes can you make in a sign?

All of our sign sizes and shapes can be made to fit any need, everything we make is done in house and made to fit your needs.

What fonts do you have and what size can they be?

The size of the text will depend on your font and size choices. The printed sign will be exactly proportional to your design proof. For example, if your sign is 6” high and your lettering occupies about 2/3 of the height, then your lettering is about 4” tall.

May I choose the type of material my design is printed on?

Currently, we offer signs and large format digital printing on the following materials: banner, aluminum, corrugated plastic, art board, magnetic, bumper sticker, a-frame, wall graphics, large format digital printing and much more.

Note: Corrugated plastic is a lightweight plastic produced like corrugated cardboard, except corrugated plastic comes in many colors and is durable outdoors. Our corrugated plastic is 1/8” thick, and they are a great option for an inexpensive, quality yard sign or outdoor advertisement.

What colors do you have available?

We have all colors of all shades and designs, the imagination is the limit.

How will I know what my sign will look like?

On all orders you will be given a proof of the design and all we need is your approval.

How durable are the signs?

Our UV ink is durable up to 3-5 years. Our standard vinyl material is outdoor durable for 3-5 years. For severe climate conditions, we suggest using aluminum.

Can any posts, frames, stakes or suction cups for hanging or displaying my sign be included?

Posts, frames, stakes or suction cups can be added to all sign orders.

Do the signs come with holes so I can hang them or attach them? If not, will you drill holes for me?

Our signs can contain holes for hanging purposes upon customer request. However, we provide grommets on banners, and ropes can be added as well.

If I want a photograph on my sign what should I do?

If you're using a photograph, then you should use a good resolution JPG image. Try to find the highest quality image with a file size less than 4 Megabytes (4 MB) and email it to BORISIGNS@aol.com.

What kind of image should I use for a logo or clipart?

To use a logo, or some type image created by a graphics professional from solid lines and colors (specifically called 'vector art'), then EPS is the best choice. By using an EPS file in your design, you can retain the sharp lines in your original image, even if the file size you use is very small. If you do not have access to an EPS file, then JPG, TIFF and AI file formats will provide you with the next best print quality. Again, try to find the highest quality image with a file size less than 4 Megabytes (4 Mb).

Where can I get a high quality image for my sign?

If the image you need is a logo for your company, then you will need to speak with the person who created the design. They will be able to create a file that will be in the right format. We have graphic designers on staff to assist you with any designs or new designs. Please call if you have any questions 1-888-417-7776 or email questions to BORISIGNS@aol.com

What is the difference between the sign materials?

We currently offer signs in Aluminum, Corrugated Plastic, Art Board, Magnetic, Banner and Bumper Sticker. Following is a brief description of each of our materials.

Aluminum - Aluminum signs are the most durable and longest lasting type of yard and window sign. They are more expensive than their non-metal counterparts, but they make up for it in durability, quality and appearance. They are a perfect fit for a metal frame of the proper size.

Corrugated Plastic - These inexpensive signs are great for outdoor advertising. Whether you are selling a house, expressing your political views, or running a business, these signs make it cheap and easy to get your name out. These signs aren't as durable as Aluminum, but they are the least-expensive quality yard sign available. They are compatible with wire stakes and metal frames of the proper size.

Art Board - Art Board is a perfect indoor sign. It looks very professional, and is also inexpensive, making it ideal for advertising specials, openings, and other time sensitive advertisements.

Magnetic - Magnetics are a fantastic way to advertise your business while you are on the road. Let everyone in traffic see what a great business you have as they are traveling about town. And what else is great about Magnetics? Just throw them in your car or truck when you are done using them or don't want people to see them anymore! Magnetics are available in multiple sizes to fit any sized automobile.

Banner - Banners are great for distance advertising. Other sign types are limited by size and make it hard to catch the attention of those far away, but not Banners. The most popular Banner size is 3ft x 8ft which is ideal for stores, parties, conventions and other locations where your sign needs to be read from a distance. Banners tend to be more expensive due to their size and material, but are a must if you need to grab customers or individuals from far away.

Bumper Stickers - What better way is there to tell people what you think, express your wit and to just "Say What You Want" than with a Bumper Sticker. Ever wanted to brag about your kids accomplishments, or to tell the bragger you don't want to hear it? Bumper Stickers are very customizable and Extremely Cheap.

We also offer large format wall graphics, vehicle graphic wraps, vehicle fleet graphics, a-frame signs, mesh construction site banners, window decals, glass, acrylic, and much much more.
