Banners
* Use strong ropes,
bungee, snap hooks, cables, etc. *
* Attach and pull the
ropes horizontally, not diagonally. *
* Keep tension in all 4
corners with whatever you use to tie your banner. *
* If rope becomes slack
go back and tighten it. *
* Excess flapping of a
banner results in tears, cracking & de-lamination. *

Comparative
Visibility
These 14 color
combinations for lettering were tested using only primary and secondary
colors of full hue value. Tests for readability at a distance were
conducted on different groups under the sponsorship of the OAAA. The
results averaged out in the sequence shown, with #1 the most legible
moving to #14 as the least legible.

When mounting corrugated plastic
yard signs to stakes we recommend making a small tick mark on the
bottom of the sign. For 24 x 18 inch signs make two small
tick marks 10 inches apart (10 inches is the width of a standard H
fame). An easy way to do this on a 24 inch wide
sign is to measure in 7 inches from each side and make a tick mark
at each location. This will leave two marks spaced 10 inches
apart. (For an 18 inch wide sign measure in 4 inches from
each side).
After making the marks line up
your both legs of your sign wire with the corresponding flute and
push the wire in. Use caution when handling sign wires they
can be sharp and often have an oily coating one them, your hands
may get dirty (a little soap and water will clean your hands up).
Note: First of all
installing sign wires is not very difficult. Your sign wires
should insert relatively easily. The wires are approximately
10 inches apart, you may have to make slight adjustments to your
measurements due to manufacturing tolerences. If the guide
marks are not made properly the signs will be difficult to mount
and may crease your sign.
