Hosting a company gala, a fundraiser, or attending a trade show in the near future? Have you decided kind of signage you’ll be using? The best event signage is portable and lightweight (no need to make setup more work than it already is!) and bonus points if it can be reused for your next event (you’ll save money and you’ll feel good about the trees you saved). There are some standard signs that you’ll find are commonplace at events — vinyl banners, pop-up banner stands, and posters. But a clever and unusual sign can be a great way to build brand memory and make your event unforgettable. Below, you’ll find four unique signage types that we recommend trying out for your next event. Cutouts You can have a life-size cutout, or you could go with a Polaroid or Instagram frame that guests can hold up in the photo. Why They’re […]

Our Stackable Signage Tower is a lightweight and portable for events.

Note: This tutorial assumes a basic working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator. Our Zund Cutter is a great way to make customized signage, boxes, and cutouts. In order for the Zund to cut each job properly, we create a project file that contains lines that instruct the machine where to cut and where to crease the project. Our resource library provides templates for various boxes and signage, but many projects require custom templates (cardboard cutouts, signage, etc.). Creating this template isn’t too hard, but it’s important to understand the proper way to set up your artwork. Types of Cut Lines First, you’ll need to understand the four most common types of lines that our Zund Cutter can read. They are: Crease: Instructs the Zund Cutter to make a crease without cutting all the way through (on our cardboard box, this would translate to a fold line) Through Cut: Instructs the Zund […]

Trade shows are a great way to network and gain exposure for your company. The design of your signage plays a key role in attracting people to your booth and building brand recognition for the future. Here are five tips for designing effective trade show signage: 1. Make sure your displays match your corporate stationery, website, and marketing collateral. Trade shows are an opportunity to gain brand recognition on the show floor. Be sure that the colors and design are consistent with your branding. Switching to a different design or colors for your booth is not going to build this recognition. Don’t waste any opportunity to get people familiar with your brand! 2. Less is more! Your banners should be clearly visible from a distance, so a clean design is usually your best bet. Keep in mind that you can reuse this signage in the future if you design it […]

Research from the United States Sign Council (USSC) states that it takes drivers one second to detect a sign on a busy street and another two to three seconds to read the message. With such a small window to grab their attention, it’s important that your lawn signs communicate your message clearly. Here are basic tips for how your signs can make an impression. Size & Readability When determining the size of your sign, as well as the size of your fonts, consider both the viewing distance and the speed limit of the area it will be placed in. If it’s going on a lawn in a quiet neighborhood where the speed limit is 25mph, the sign and it’s text can be smaller than if the sign were being placed on the side of a busy highway. The size most commonly used by our customers is 18″ x 24″. You can […]

Don’t make the common mistake of underestimating the value of your company’s signage. Signs are one of the most powerful methods of conveying a message to your customer. Your signs say who you are and what you do. They help make important associations that your customers need to make in order to recognize their need for your service. “Why do signs sell? Because someone is passing a message to us, and we don’t even realize it. Signs change our attitudes and the way we think.” [Why Signs Sell] If you haven’t already given thought to updating your office, now is the time! Here are four things that signs and banners can accomplish for your company. 1. Educate your market Chances are, your customers might not know much about the products and services you offer. Signage is an opportunity to provide them with education in a way that’s subtle and not […]
