![]() Choosing A Modular Sign System
Every sign shops needs to have a modular sign system to offer to their customers.

Manufacturing signage based on modular systems requires some degree of expertise to the specific systems attributes in order to gain the maximum yield and desired results and profits. Therefore, it would be wise to invest some time and research when choosing a favored system. Switching systems too often can prove to be a waste of time and money spent on training, planning, and correction of mistakes. With this in mind, how does one choose a single preferred system with the number of systems being offered today? The first step is to ask for free samples. A company that will not offer free samples is an indication of their marketing strategy and their overall level of low awareness to service and should be avoided. Check to see if the system offers reasonably priced sample kits. Some companies will offer their kits at cost or below cost, and some will ask you to cover the cost of shipping. Look for a vendor that offers a number of sample kit options to fit most budgets. Some will even offer to customize the kit to your specific needs. The following points should help you choose the system that is right for you:

Quality of materials: Check for compatibility with the types of graphic and sign making equipment you currently have available in your shop without making further investments in new technology and equipment. It is advisable to choose a flexible system that allows for a wide range of signage and graphic techniques. Systems that have been designed to "frame" or " "hold" other substrates, usually prove to be more flexible and accommodating both to the customer and the designer.

Service and support: Check to see what fabrication services are offered by the vendor. Sometimes it will prove cost effective to have some of the fabrication done by the vendor. Also check the delivery times, as it's important to work with a vendor you can count on to deliver as quoted. Being late can be very expensive!
Price: Finally, choose a system that you like. It will show when you sell it.
