This is a family operation, in the sign business for over 25 years, located in Tacoma, Washington, just south of Seattle. We've grown from making hand painted signs in the garage to a computer-based operation serving our region.  Included are projects completed for our local city, state and federal governments.

 

We enjoy working on the usual sign projects for local customers, but bumper stickers have a charm of their own; consequently we have chosen them as the main focus of this web-site.

 

Each sign order is an exciting challenge and we're happy to help YOU get YOUR message out to the world effectively and inexpensively, no matter how small or large the order.

 

Providing high quality workmanship and going out of our way to satisfy our customers has always been our method of operation.  You can expect the same high quality of service on your orders from this web-site, even though you may be located in another part of this country, or on another continent.  Our products are guaranteed satisfactory, or they will be re-done at no charge, or your money cheerfully refunded.

 

We employ the latest secure sockets layer (SSL) technology, which encrypts all your credit card and personal information, so it cannot be read as it travels across the Internet. Once we receive it, and your order has been filled, we delete all your sensitive data to reduce any risk of it getting into the wrong hands.

 

Self-adhesive sign vinyl comes in rolls, and is quite like Mactac or Contac that you might buy in the super-market to line cupboard shelves or cover books. There is a thin but very durable layer of colored self-adhesive vinyl adhering to wax-coated backing paper. This two layered roll (usually about 14 inches wide) is run through a special plotter-like machine, where a tiny knife, guided by a computer, cuts the outline of all the letters of the sign message on the vinyl layer only. The wax backing paper remains intact. Then the surplus vinyl is weeded or pulled away, leaving just the self-adhesive letters.

 

Now a sheet of self-adhesive transfer paper, quite like a sheet of masking tape, is laid on top of the whole sign to hold the letters in place while the wax backing paper is pulled off. The sticky side of the vinyl letters is now exposed and are pressed down on the sign medium. The transfer paper is pulled off leaving the sharp looking sign to do it's job.

 

With the TEXT ONLY mini-signs, we send them to you with the text still on the wax backing paper and covered with the self-adhesive transfer paper. You simply peel off the wax backing paper and rub the mini-sign onto whatever you want, be it a mailbox, vehicle or office window, etc. Then pull off the transfer paper and you're done.

 

With the four other types of signs, we attach the cut out text to a larger piece of contrasting colored self-adhesive vinyl, or to magnetic sheeting, or to clear electrostatic (static cling) sheet or to plastic card stock (like that of a credit card).

 

Dont worry about all this technical stuff. When you receive your mini-signs you will have no trouble using them. With the DECALS, you just pull off the wax backing paper and stick the decal wherever you want (the typical bumper sticker.) MAGNETICS stick immediately to ferrous metal. With ELECTROSTATICS peel off the backing paper and smooth it on any glass surface. PLASTIC CARD mini-signs can be placed anywhere, such as on a wall as a poster, or in areas where moisture or chemicals may be a problem. IRON-ON DECALS are used by simply placing them on your fabric and running a moderately heated iron over them until they stick to your fabric, then peel off the carrier paper.

 

Above all just have fun! Try to make the world a better or safer place because of your message(s).
