Proofing: After you place your order and upload your artwork, our prepress team will begin inspecting your files to ensure your document size, bleed lines, margins, image resolution, and more are correct in order for the best print quality. They will email you a soft proof (PDF) for your approval prior to printing. Most proofs are sent within 1 business day of order placement; more complex art files can sometimes take longer. Soft proofing is an easy way to see what your finished product will look like and make sure the content is correct. However, soft proofing is not intended for exact color matching. Every monitor displays color differently, and on backlit screens, colors may appear lighter than the actual colors contained in your files. If color matching is critical, please give us a call at 800-227-7377 to order a hard proof.Production Time: Production time begins after proof approval and is the time required to produce your order before it ships. It is calculated in business days, starting at the next occurrence of 9:00 AM Eastern on the 1st business day after the proof is approved. U.S. Press is closed Saturdays, Sundays and all major holidays; thus, these days are not included in the production schedule.
Polystyrene Signs FAQ
What are your signs made of?These signs are made of .030 thickness PVC based acrylic.
What's the best use for styrene signs?Think of these signs as durable, poster-sized prints. Polystyrene signs are lightweight and flexible, which means they are easy to transport and ship. They are best used for point of purchase signage, restaurant menu boards, trade shows and events.
Can they be used outdoors?Polystyrene is waterproof and can be used in humid environments, but most commonly if they are used outdoors, they are displayed in a protected case such as a drive-thru menu frame. Due to their lightweight and thin nature, we would not recommend displaying these signs in between posts as storefront signage.
I need a large quantity for our retail stores. Can I order any quantity?Yes, our pricing calculator will allow you to order any quantity you would like; however, we recommend requesting a custom quote for quantities over 100 in order to provide you with the best price for your project.
