Common Questions

What are the replacement panels made of?

• Our replacement panels are made of either coroplast or aluminum. Both are weatherproof and durable, coroplast is great for use in sign holders that have a back or temporary signage in a sign holder without a back and aluminum is perfect for long term use in any sign

How long can I use my replacement panel signs?

• These signs are built to last a long time, with proper care and cleaning they can last you years to come.

Is the replacement signs durable?

• Whether you pick coroplast or aluminum they are both durable and rigid. They can withstand most weather conditions, especially cold weather as they won't crack when hit by the snow.
  

Can I use my replacement sign panels outside?

• Yes, these signs are meant to be used outdoors since they are weatherproof you can rely on them lasting through out all the seasons. You can use them indoors as well. 

I would like a different size than the 24"x24"?

• We can cut down the sign into any size, simply let us know in the comments section what the final size of the sign you would like. We'll confirm the custom size while in the proofing stage.

Can I custom cut or die cut my sign panel?

• Yes! We the best die cutting machinery you can get and we have the ability to do most custom die cut projects. Here's how you can set up the cutlines. Please contact us about your custom cut signs 888-319-8184 prior to placing the order. 

Should I laminate my replacement sign panel Print?

• We do offer lamination for your replacement sign panels, although not necessary, the lamination offers as an extra layer of protection for your print. If you are going for more of a "photo like" look, choose gloss lamination. If you would like a matte (not glossy) finish, choose matte lamination. 

Is the graphic mounted to the replacement sign panels?

• Depending on the material you choose the graphic will be printed differently. If you choose coroplast it's printed direct to material, if you choose Aluminum then the graphic is printed on a vinyl adhesive and mounted to the aluminum material.
  

Will my graphic peel away over time?

• The coroplast prints won't peel since they are printed direct to material. The aluminum signs could peel since the print is mounted to the material. If the sign panel is properly cared for the print should last a long time without peeling.

Can I make my sign double sided?

• Yes, we can print on both sides of the foam board material, just select double sided printing in the drop down when placing your order.
  

How many colors or details can I use in my artwork, will it cost extra?

• You can use any number of colors or any amount of detail in your artwork without incurring any additional fees. We print our Foam Board Signs in full color and no matter how many colors or how detailed the artwork is, it won't affect the cost of the sign.

What color profile should I use in my artwork?

• We accept CMYK, RGB, Mixed colors and Pantone colors. We use a 4-color process, and each color profile will be converted to meet the original coloring as closely as possible.

It has lots of options such as adding text, images, colors and even logos, the possibilities are endless! Make sure to create an account and save your designs for future use!

I realized I sent the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?

• No worries, this is why we send proofs! If you realized something is wrong in your artwork or you sent the wrong file, simply respond to the graphics proof email and let them know if you are sending a new file or have changes to your design online artwork. Our graphics team will always send you updated proofs, and nothing goes to print without your approval. 

I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?

• We work pretty fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production pretty quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances we have to stop it. 
• If you have a rush order and the proof is approved after 2pm EST please let your customer representative know right away. We will make every effort to try and get your order out same day, however, it does depend on our production department's workload, and we can't guarantee it will go out the same day if the proofs are approved after 2pm EST.
