The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

1/22/2019

Explanation of The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

Have you seen the beautiful shopping center monument sign in Limerick, PA? Signs A La Carte was the proud manufacturer and installer. ​

Picture
​ 
We handled every step in the process to draw attention to the new shopping center coming soon. From pieces of wood and electrical wire, we designed and mounted the illuminated monument. 

Ever wonder how a monument sign is made? Below we’ve included the steps in the sign-making process, including design, fabrication and assembly, and installation. ​

Design
This is typically the most intimidating step in the process for many business owners, but it’s often the most exciting (aside from admiring the newly installed sign). When designing a monument sign, there’s more to it than layout and colors. You should consider the size of your space, the aesthetic of your complex, and the substrates and materials used to create your sign. ​
Picture
​Your monument sign will include both the actual signage and the masonry that helps support the sign’s base. You have options for each component. Business owners will often match their sign to the architecture of their building. Stone, aluminum, wood, acrylic, and other metals are the materials we most frequently use.
 
Before you get too far in the design process, it’s a good idea to check with your municipality to find out what your city code allows. If you are creating your first monument sign, you’ll be required to secure a permit for your sign. 

Fabrication and Assembly
At Signs A La Carte, we have the in-house capabilities to execute and supervise each step in the fabrication and assembly process. This helps ensure that the sign we install at your business matches the specifications we agreed upon during the design phase. Fabrication begins once you’ve approved the design and are ready to move forward.
Mounting the Sign
Assuming all permits have been secured, it’s time to install your sign! Monument signs should be placed perpendicularly to the street. To help ensure your sign is easy to read, make sure you take shadows and sunlight into consideration when placing your sign. Signs A La Carte will guide you through the process. We have all of the tools and equipment needed to securely install your sign. ​
After the footer or foundation of the monument sign are prepared to receive the sign, we secure the metal frame of the sign to the footer. The last step is to slide the acrylic faces with names or phone numbers at their place it should be.

 ​And voila! Your sign is installed and ready to attract visitors to your business.
 
Why Install or Refresh a Monument Sign?
Retailers spend a lot of money to be in high-traffic shopping malls. However, old, unattractive monument faces—or worse, no monument sign at all—are even more costly. Signs A La Carte fabricates and installs shopping mall signs to increase traffic and sales.
 
Many smart retailers are improving their signage for the new year! If you are looking for a new signage solution, Signs A La Carte can help you enhance your ideas or start from scratch. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about creating your monument sign or any kind of signs you may need.

A Guide to Vinyl Signs by Signs A La Carte -West Chester, PA-

1/14/2019

0 Comments

 

Signs A La Carte- West Chester, PA- has a A Guide to Vinyl Signs to help you custom any kind of signs.


​In a previous post, we answered some common questions we get asked as a full-service, custom sign company. Another question our customers ask: what does it mean when we say full service?
 
Signs A La Carte has a large printer that can print any type of vinyl and wallpaper we apply on various surfaces. Here is a list (not exhaustive) of the types of vinyl signs we can create.
Wall and Window Graphics
The printer uses primary colors to reproduce all pictures and designs for your project. The chart below represents the colors we can print. ​
Picture
Windows and walls are great surfaces for vinyl application—they are flat, and the space can be used to promote your name, your brand, your tagline, and your beautiful pictures. ​

Vehicle Wraps
​At Signs A La Carte, we discuss ways to maximize blank space on your vehicle with the message you want to convey. We provide four options for advertising on your vehicle:

Picture

  • An economical, simple lettering on the side using colored vinyl

  • A more complex lettering including a printed lettering and cut letters
Picture
Picture
  •  A half wrap that includes two full sides and the back 

  • A full wrap that covers the four sides of your vehicle and may include the windows and roof

​

​Prefer something removable? We create vehicle magnets! However, these magnetic stickers require extra care than vinyl wraps and must be regularly cleaned to prevent rust. 
​


Monument and Dimensional Channel Letters
Maybe your business is in a business center and you want customers to recognize your business from a distance. You might need dimensional or illuminated letters. If your business center has no monument sign or pylon to indicate which businesses occupy the space, we can install a sign with your design. Signs A La Carte can also update your business name on the face of an existing monument sign or pylon. ​

Building Signs
Channel letters can help call attention to your building and business. We can also create other building signs to point to your location, including a post, sign rider, store front sign, and more. ​

Lobby and Interior Signs
When customers enter your building, their first impressions are key. Did they see your logo? The name on your desk? A directional sign? These little details are important for nice Lobby Sign and Interior Signs, and the Signs A La Carte team can help improve the visual experience for your customers. We can also create an ADA sign if needed. ​

Trade Show Display
Are you promoting your business at an event? You need a trade show display. Signs A La Carte can create a canopy, runner table, banner, roll-up banner, flags, posters, and more. These exhibition booth pieces show who you are, where you are located, and what you have to offer.
​Signs A La Carte specializes in indoor and outdoor signs to showcase your business and attract more customers. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want, we can help! Just give us a call.

Answering Commonly Asked Questions about Custom Signs

1/7/2019

6 Comments

 

Signs A La Carte explains and answers commonly asked questions about Signs: price, wrap, type of signs...


​As a full-service, custom sign company located in West Chester-PA-, Signs A La Carte answers many questions about window graphics, vehicle wraps, outdoor and indoor signs, and other types of signs. We’ve included a few of our most commonly asked questions below to give you a look into our process and what makes us different from other sign companies. 

Why do you ask so many questions about my sign before we talk about price? 
​
​It isn’t easy to provide a price right away because all of our signs are custom. The price of an interior or exterior sign varies depending on several criteria:
 
  • The size of your design
  • Adhesive letters vs. dimensional letters
  • The height and thickness of the letters chosen
  • The number of letters
  • The sign material (acrylic, PVC, aluminum, wood...)
  • The color of the sign
  • The mounting method (double-sided tape, standoffs, stud with or without space, etc.)
  • The location of the installation
  • The design needs of your sign
 
Each of these parameters must be considered so we can provide an accurate quote. 

How much do you really need to know about my vehicle before you wrap it? 
​
Before processing your vehicle wrap, Signs A La Carte asks important questions about the type of vehicle you want to wrap (car, truck, trailer, plane, etc.). We can give you a quick estimate because we have thousands of templates with standard characteristics. However, we need to know the make, model, year, color, options, add-on equipment, and style of your vehicle first.
 
To optimize your message and increase brand awareness, Signs A La Carte discusses your goals to deliver the best solution that promotes your brand and generates business. We ask about your logo, website, tagline, offerings, phone number, photos, and more.
 
With this information, our designers will guide you through the design process, keeping your budget and your vehicle’s space limitations in mind. We can discuss various options including the vinyl color and finishes and the types of wrap that fit your budget.
 
These are a few types of wrap we offer:
 
  • An economical, simple lettering on the side of the vehicle using colored vinyl
  • A more complex lettering including a printed lettering and cut letters
  • A half wrap that includes two full sides and the back of the vehicle
  • A full wrap that covers four sides of the vehicle and might cover the windows and roof

Why is Signs A La Carte different from other companies? 
​
​
  • We work with you to resolve any signage issues and help you make the best investment.
  • We bring any issues to your attention before we print your graphics.
  • We come to you for the estimate.
  • We have many varieties of materials with different purposes to customize your signs, both interior and exterior. We can help you choose the most convenient option to promote your brand.
 
​Most of the time, we apply printed vinyl on a sign or vehicle. This is why our vinyl comes in the form of a quality adhesive that’s resistant to external elements like sun, rain, and wind. You have many color and finish options: matte, semi-gloss, gloss, brushed steel, carbon fiber, matte metallic, chrome, and even leather-like finishes.
 
Finally, our solvent-free printing process combines primary colors for a better-quality image. It allows us to reproduce images in solid color, high-resolution photographs, printing on various types of vinyl (transparent, block out) that we can apply on walls, windows, vehicles, acrylic, and PVC. Our prints come with a layer of film coating adapted to the material, if necessary, to guarantee incredible durability.
 
Do you have other questions we didn’t cover here? Signs A La Carte is a visual company that can work with you to create your custom sign. Give us a call and we’d be happy to answer your questions or get a project started for you!
