Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How much does the metal material weigh?
A: It weighs 4,844 grams per square meter (gsm). Our 12″ x 18″ is 1.5 lbs, while our 24″ x 36″ sign (the largest we offer) weighs 6 lbs.
Q: Can I print on both sides?
A: At the moment, we only have single-sided printing.
Q: Can I choose where the holes are drilled?
A: No, you can’t. See above for information on where they’ll be.
Q: Will my design be printed on the aluminum sign, or on a decal that goes on the sign?
A: We print directly on the sign, using UV ink.
Q: What are the wall clamps made from?
A: The material is solid aluminum.
Q: How will wall clamps affect my design?
A: The grooves for wall clamps are .44″ from the edge of the sign, so it’s wise to make sure that design elements are .44″ from the top and bottom edges.
Q: How should I attach my wall clamps to the wall?
A: Don’t worry, we’ll provide you instructions to help you with this process! The clamps come with locator washers, and these washers unlock from the clamps themselves. Use the template included in the instructions to learn where to screw the washers into the wall. Once they’re in place, you can attach your custom metal sign (with the clamps in place) to the washers. Tighten the washers and you’ll be all set.
Q: How many wall clamps should purchase for my metal sign?
A: Wall clamps are sold in packs of 2, 1 for the top and 1 for the bottom of the sign. You should only need 1 pack per sign.
Q: What size wall clamp should I purchase for my sign?
A: For 3″ signs, use the 3.15″ wall clamps. For signs that are 5″ to 12″, use the 4.72″ wall clamps. For signs larger than 12″, you’ll need the 15″ wall clamps.
Q: How many drilled holes will my metal signs come with? How big are they?
A: Our 2 largest sizes, 18″ x 27″ and 24″ x 36″, will come with 6 holes. (1 in each corner, plus 2 in the middle). The other (smaller) 6 sizes will come with 4 (1 in each corner). The middle of each hole is 5/8″ from the edge of the sign. The diameter of each hole is 3/8″. Keep in mind that they are not automatically included, so if you need them, don’t forget to select “Yes” under “Drilled holes” to have your metal signs produced with holes.
