When planning for your projects, keep in mind that the end of the year gets busy for suppliers.

Sometimes it’s a budget decision but other times too many people are trying to get by on the cheap.

Have an A-Frame that allows you to slip in a plastic sign?  Print something on the other side of that sign, too. While the A-Frame allows only one side to be seen, it costs little more to print the other side. So create a message for another event or purpose. Then use that side later.

I’ve seen many yard signs that must have looked nice on a computer monitor 10 inches from the designer’s face. But that doesn’t always translate when that design is put onto a yard sign meant to be seen by drivers and pedestrians.

When designing a piece to be printed, do not run your words or any important graphic element too close to the border. After being printed, the item then has to be trimmed to final size. It is not always an exact science so something may get cut off if placed to close to the edge.
