Questions before you start

Quotes and pricing

Do you charge for estimates?

Quotes from your artwork, sizes and photos are free and no-obligation. If a job needs an on-site survey for measuring, mounting or power, the survey is $85/hr, credited to your order.

Is there a minimum order?

Tell us the item and quantity you need. Ask the shop to confirm any minimum, setup cost and price for that particular order.

Design and artwork

What artwork should I have ready?

Have your logo, wording and any artwork ready. AI, EPS or PDF files are useful, as are high-resolution images. If you need design help, tell us what you want the finished piece to say.

Will I see a design before it is made?

We design and send a proof for you to check before we make your order. Check the wording, spelling and layout, including any address or phone number.

What about bleed, resolution and print-ready files?

Have your original artwork ready and tell us the finished size. Ask the shop to confirm bleed, resolution and file setup for the chosen product before you prepare final files.

Installation and timing

Can I collect my sign or have it installed?

Collect at the shop or arrange on-site installation at $85/hr. Tell us where the sign will go when you ask for a quote.

How long will my order take?

Tell us your deadline when you inquire. The shop will confirm timing for your project before you approve the work.

Who handles permits, mounting and power?

Discuss landlord approval, any permit needs, the mounting surface and any existing power supply before the job is agreed. Confirm who is responsible for each part with the shop.

Dock signs

Do I have to post an address on my dock?

Missouri requires dock owners on the Lake of the Ozarks and on Corps-managed Missouri lakes to post the nearest 911 address, or the nearest physical address by land. The Missouri State Highway Patrol suggests the sign be visible from the water and recommends letters at least three inches high in a contrasting color, with reflective lettering preferred.

Missouri State Highway Patrol: dock addressing requirements

What size should my dock sign be?

Have the exact wording or address and the available space ready. Ask the shop about size, layout and material options for your sign.

Vehicle wraps

How much does a vehicle wrap cost?

Full wraps on trucks and vans start from $3,500. The vehicle, coverage and design affect the quote. Lettering and partial wraps are quoted for your vehicle.

How should I care for a vehicle wrap?

Ask the shop for care instructions for the material used on your vehicle. Confirm cleaning guidance and any after-installation precautions when you collect it.

Materials and engraving

Which sign material should I choose?

Tell us whether the sign is for indoors or outdoors, where it will be mounted and the size you have in mind. The shop can discuss material options with you.

Can you engrave an item I already own?

Describe the item and its material, and have a photo ready. Ask the shop to confirm suitability before bringing it in; not every item or surface is suitable.
