Tips & Information

 

 

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. *

Installing Sign Wires into Corrugated Plastic Signs

 

 Yard sign with mark for wire placement.

 24 x 18 inch Corrugated Plastic Sign with tick mark seven inches from side.

 Sign wire inserted into flute of 4 mm coroplast.

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.
