Some frequently asked questions and answers from our production department.

1) What kind of things determine the pricing for production?
Sign Production - quoting is based on primarily on the size, material type and production method - vinyl, printing, painted, etc.. We also have to consider the amount and types of colours used, quantities and installation issues.
Printing - generally based on amount of colours used, quantities, size, paper stock / weight and any finishing details (folds, cuts, etc.)

2) What is the difference between digital printing and offset printing?
Digital printing and offset printing have varying degrees of quality depending on equipment. The major difference is that digital printing usually is more expensive per copy, but has no expensive plate or press setup costs, as opposed to offset printing. It generally is cheaper to do shorter print runs (under 2000 copies) using digital printers and larger print runs (over 2000 copies) using offset.

3) How can we cut down on production costs?
Give us your budget and let us design something that will achieve your marketing goals within your budget. We can also look at complete packages, such as print materials packaged with design, sign production, website, video, etc...

4) Are there any production restrictions we should be aware of?
Due to the custom nature of this business, there are always restrictions. Some of the more common ones come from city bylaws regarding signs, distributors regarding printed specs and quite often production quality restrictions due to poorly provided file formats. These can always be overcome by having us handle your project from start to finish.
