Didn't Fine The Anser?
General FAQs
Definitely not! In recent times there has been a plethora of ‘sign’ companies appearing in the market place, leaving potential customers with an absolute minefield to navigate through.
Although is would seem at first glance, that there is a wealth of choice from sign companies, the truth is, that most are just ‘graphics’ companies and will be short of the basic understanding of engineering required to actually fabricate and manufacture proper signs. Some companies will take advantage of the understandable lack of intimate sign knowledge that most prospective customers would have.
Any ‘sign’ company will sell you a sign, but a frightening amount fail to appreciate the true purpose of a sign and what it is supposed to achieve for the customer.
Depending on scheduling, stock availability, complexity and size, a sign could be produced the same day or after a couple of days. For most moderate signage projects, we like to allow 2-4 weeks.
Obviously, the larger the project the longer the time scale.
We will provide likely production times with all our proposals.
Again it depends on the type of sign you select. It’s difficult to give an accurate cost until the design has been finalised.
However, we do provide full written quotations with all our proposals.
Signs can take various forms and perform various functions depending on, who it’s for, what it’s for, where it’s for, when it’s for and why it’s needed.
From the basic door nameplate sign to the large airport and arena signage, there is a vast array of sign sizes and types available to choose from. The number of signs on offer can be a bit overwhelming to be honest. That’s where you need a reputable sign company, not only to help steer you through the various options but also to produce and install the type of signs that will work best for your business.
We would advise that you ask a lot of probing questions, like: Who has the knowledge to offer practical advice?
Who is going to produce the sign? Do they have the appropriate portfolio? What type of signs can they produce?
Am I satisfied that I have been given all the information needed to make an informed choice?
What experience does the company have? Do they have a track record?
Do they have enough appreciation of my business to offer me the correct sign solution?
It is best to ensure you are dealing with a long established, bona-fide, legitimate, registered company, before parting with your hard earned cash.
Sign costs are directly linked to the nature, level of sophistication and technologies used in the manufacture and installation of any given sign.
From a flat panel sign which, depending on scale, could take a few hours to produce, up to several days, or even weeks, to design, engineer, manufacture and install more advanced sign types.

Indoor Signs FAQs
Yes! With the advent of energy-efficient LED lighting, neon, and other materials, indoor lighted signs are a great way to advertise your brand. Connect with us today to discuss the many options we offer for your illuminated sign.
In most cases, interior signs don’t require special permits (unlike exterior signage), but you may need permission from the property management group that owns your building if you don’t own the building yourself. If your interior sign requires electricity, you may need to bring in a third-party contractor to set up the correct wiring. Call us for more information.
Consistency is vital when advertising your company’s brand, so having exceptional interior signage to match what your customers have seen outside is a good idea. You’ve invested in the reception area, suite plaques on the doors, and in your team, so why not add the finishing touch a stunning, stylish interior sign to make a proud statement to your clientele? We offer expert craftsmanship at reasonable prices.
It’s best to rely on the look of your brand logo or view similar signs in your area that have a style you’d like to mimic. Once you’ve decided on a look, consult with our design team so we can create unique and stunning sign options, we’ll ensure you’re more than happy with the final results.
Exterior signs typically have a lifespan of six months to two years, while interior signs can last significantly longer if properly cleaned and maintained. We can give you a more accurate estimate once the materials and design have been selected.
Prices can vary greatly depending on what dimensions and features you’d like your interior sign to have. Dimensional self-illuminating signs are considered premium features, while vinyl or digital print panels can be more cost-effective. Consult with our design team for more information.
We offer a wide range of indoor signage, including bathroom, directional, conference room, and directory signs, as well as banners. We can also customize your interior signage with dimensional lettering, vinyl wall graphics, menu boards, ADA signs, and window and floor graphics.
Outdoor Signs FAQs
When you’re creating your customized exterior sign, keep your customers in mind—not just your current customers, but the ones you want to attract. The sign should be visible from a distance since you want passing drivers and pedestrians to be able to read it. It should be bright, colorful, and striking enough to arouse interest from somebody who has never heard of your business before. Finally, it should be as large as possible. If your sign is small and easy to overlook, it won’t have much of an impact on passersby.
Most exterior business signs focus on including the name of the business. Many business signs in Virginia also include an appropriate image such as a slice of pizza for a restaurant or a hammer for a hardware store. If you have space, you might be able to include your business’ logo. As a general rule, signs are designed to intrigue. They can be extremely simple in design and still work as they are intended to.
Exterior signs serve a number of important functions for any business. First and foremost, they’re a quick and easy way to advertise and draw attention to your business. If you’re a small business owner in Virginia, an effective sign can be a better investment than any number of print advertisements. Unlike other types of advertisements, signs don’t go away—they continue to work for you around the clock for as long as you leave them up.
Events Displays FAQs
WeSign can do more than just post signs for events, we can work with you to determine the types of signs you need for your event, design them or use your artwork to create by printing and assembling the signs prior to shipping or installing (posting) them at your event.
Typical event signs include banners, banner stands, stage and podium graphics, safety signs, directional and wayfinding signs, sponsor appreciation and recognition plaques, cement or floor graphics, vehicle graphics and much more. View our event signage checklist to make sure you have everything you’ll need.
Yes. We can help you pick the right material and event signage to achieve your goals. For example, you may need reusable event signage for an awards dinner, which requires a quick set up and break down, such as stage and podium graphics, banner stands, and wayfinding signs or you may need banners, photo backdrops, and flags to use at several extended upcoming events.
Yes, we provide signs for all types of events. The possibilities for event signage are almost limitless based on your communications goals and specific location needs.
While it’s essential to use event signs and visual graphics during each phase of the event – before, during, and after, event promotion can help increase event awareness and attendance. Incorporating banners, flags, brochures, flyers, posters, printed invitations, promotional items, and wearables are an effective way to increase event awareness.
Events signs and visual graphics align a cause, showcase a product, increase awareness, honor or recognize people, entertain people, or celebrate success. Signs and visual graphics such as banners, digital signs and kiosks, directional and wayfinding signs, exhibits and displays, floor graphics, stage and podium graphics, sponsor and recognition plaques and awards, wearables, and vehicle graphics can help events be successful at each phase – before, during, and after.
Vehicle Graphics &Wraps FAQs
Yes, the wrap can be removed from your vehicle. Removing the wrap will not cause damage to the paint, as long as the paint is in good condition. We do not recommend uninstalling the wrap yourself, as this could cause damage to the vehicle’s paint.
Yes, we use a special perforated vinyl on the rear windows. This vinyl allows you to be able to see out the windows while still maintaining the look of the wrap. Using the defrosters will not damage the window wrap.
Yes, we offer a Two Year Warranty. Our warranty covers bubbling and peeling issues.
Yes, we do offer a discount for wrapping fleets of vehicles. Please contact us for details.
We recommend hand washing your vehicle with a non-abrasive sponge, soap and water. Do not high pressure wash the wrap, it could cause the vinyl to tear or seems to peel. Avoid using ice scrapers on the windows that have perforated vinyl.
Our vehicle wraps and wall graphics are printed in-house on the best grade of 3M Controltac Vinyl. All graphics are thoroughly inspected and approved by our wrap division prior to the installation.
The installation is usually completed within one to three days. The exact time depends on the size of the vehicle, amount of wrap coverage, and the detail of the wrap. We give our customers a time frame of completion prior to starting the wrap installation.
Wrap prices vary depending on how much of the vehicle will be wrapped. We can create anything from simple vinyl lettering to a full vehicle wrap. Our wrap division will help design graphics to meet any budget.
Yes, we would prefer the vehicle to be washed before you bring it in for the install. This way we can assure the wrap will be completed in the proper amount of time.
We can update your graphics, phone numbers, websites, logos, etc. if your company information were to change. We will update the design then reprint and reinstall the new wrap panels. Standard charges will apply.
After contacting our vehicle wrap division, we will set up a meeting with you to go over your design ideas. We then require a 50% deposit to begin your custom vehicle wrap design. After you approve the design, we will then print and install your vehicle wrap.
Vehicle wraps are installed at our indoor, climate controlled facility. This way we have access to all of the equipment necessary to ensure a high quality install. In certain circumstances, we will travel to the customer for a wrap installation; travel fees may apply.
A wrap should not damage your vehicle’s paint. A wrap will actually help to protect and preserve the paint.
Any imperfections in the paint, or any damage to the vehicle, will cause issues. In most cases, we will not install vinyl on a vehicle with these preexisting conditions. The main reason for this is due to high likelihood of vinyl failure.
Advertising wraps can show minor areas of preexisting vehicle color. It mostly depends on the underlying color, if you’re getting a white vehicle wrap installed overtop of a bright blue, some of that blue can shine through.
There will be cuts on the vinyl that, when looked at from close range, will not be perfectly straight. That said, when looked at from 6 feet away will not be noticeable. This is considered acceptable within the industry.
It’s not uncommon for there to be seams and patches on an advertising wrap. This is especially true in areas where two panels of the printed wrap are merging or areas with tight curves—like door handles, corners of the hood, fenders, bumpers, etc.
Yes, any inlays on the vehicle, door breaks, windows, badges, door handles etc… will create naturally breaks in the design, though they will be minimal.
There is the possibility for ripples, bubbles and imperfections in an advertising wrap. These imperfections are minimal and exist in areas such as door jambs, natural vehicle breaks, and inlays. These imperfections will not be noticeable from 6 feet away and will only be seen if you inspect the vehicle from close range.
While installers do the best to align designs, the design is broken up into separate panels. When those panels are installed on a vehicle it is possible for a design to not align perfectly from panel to panel, causing a minor misalignment. A misalignment of a ¼ inch is industry standard and viewed as acceptable.
Either option is available. If your design has already been created, there is a setup fee to ensure the design is ready for printing. We can also create your design from scratch. Our vehicle wrap division will take your ideas and design a wrap that is perfect for you!
