There are a number of factors that need to be taken into account when determining the best hardware solution for your signage application - where is it going, will it be indoors or outdoors, does it need to be permanently installed or able to be moved, among many others. Our talented account managers are signage experts and will be able to help determine the best signage hardware solution for your needs.
The turnaround time for signage hardware depends on the type of hardware that you need. For hardware that is a standard size and stock item, the turnaround time is a couple of days (not including any time for signage printing) plus shipping time. Custom sized or custom constructed hardware may require longer turnaround times depending on the type of hardware - contact one of our experienced account managers for more information.
