Pickup at our Chicago shop or delivery options depending on timeline and destination.

Planning notes (avoid day-of problems)

Most sign stress comes from install details. A few specifics up front keeps everything controlled.

Where will it live?

Indoor vs outdoor, wind exposure, and viewing distance determine the right material and finishing.

 

How will it install?

Grommets vs pole pockets, mounting method, stand/easel needs, and where it’s being hung.

 

File setup (fast approvals)

Large format shows every mistake. Send it clean and you move faster.

• PDF preferred (vector if possible)
• Build to final size (or tell us the final size you need)
• Keep critical text/logos away from edges (safe area)
• For banners: allow room for hems/grommets/pockets (don’t place text in those zones)
• Spellcheck phone numbers, URLs, and addresses
• If multiple versions, label files clearly (A/B/C, locations, languages)

Quick FAQ

Common same-day sign and banner questions.

Is same-day guaranteed?
No—same-day depends on file readiness, size/quantity, finishing, and current production load. Send your in-hand time first and we’ll confirm feasibility.

 

Do banners always include hems and grommets?
Not always. Tell us how you’re hanging it (zip ties, rope, pole, frame) and we’ll spec the right finishing.

 

What’s the fastest way to get a quote?
Tell us size, quantity, material preference (or “fastest in-stock option”), finishing needs, and your in-hand time—then attach a PDF or link.
