1. How long do the
pavement decals last?
That
depends a lot on the environment. Pavement decals
installed outdoors two years ago - in the upper
Midwest – still look good and stick fast. Customers
that power-wash their factory floors every night
tell us that floor signs last far longer than any
alternative.
Pavement decals placed where vehicles that turn
their wheels on top of a floor decal may damage it,
but it will tolerate ordinary vehicle traffic
driving straight over it. But foot traffic – even
in very high traffic areas like stadium exists –
don’t faze a pavement decal.
2.
Do pavement decals really work outside?
Yes…that was the original purpose of these signs.
Not only does the sign weather well, it can be stuck
down on rough surfaces – even concrete walls – and
stick until you’re ready to remove them. They also
work well in heavy-traffic areas - many are used in
stadiums where thousands walk over them every week.
And they can be scrubbed without affecting the
sign’s lifespan.
Even
though they stick tight, there is a simple technique
for removing them. Use a putty knife or similar
blade to pry up one corner of the sign, then pull it
up. It will take some force, but since the sign has
an aluminum back, it will not tear or shred during
removal. Better yet, the adhesive comes up with the
sign…no sticky spots to clean and no discoloring
residue.
3.Can kids vandalize or destroy pavement decals?
Determined kids can vandalize rocks and concrete,
but we make it pretty hard for them to damage our
signs. They won’t tear or shred easily, and you
need the right tools and some patience to remove
them. The pavement decals are hard to mark up and
easy to clean.
4.
Are these stock products, or can I get pavement
decals
customized?
Right
now, every sign is made to order. (That’s because
everyone wants something at least slightly different
from everyone else.) The good news is that there is
no penalty for custom work.
Your
order can be stock or custom shapes in any size up
to 4 x 8 feet. We’ve printed and cut to shape a
Dallas Cowboy helmet and the Florida State
University “Seminole” logo. And – while we have
stock colors - you can have your company color on
the signage…just give us your PMS colors. Better
yet, if you want different words – or even your logo
– we can do that, too. At no extra cost.
5.
Speaking of the Cowboys, can I buy one of those
helmet-shaped floor signs?
Unfortunately, no. We get a lot of requests for
signs that feature registered trademarks, but we
can’t print them without permission. Talk to your
team about ordering them for resale.
6.
What if I want each pavement decal to be worded differently.
No
problem…and no extra cost or time. Each production
run is based on the size of our substrate sheets:
the smallest is about ten square feet. That’s how we
can create dozens of hundreds of curb address signs
– each with a different address on it – and not
require custom pricing.
7.
I want our logo on the pavement decals. How much extra does
that cost?
Nothing extra. Each order is custom produced. There
is a minimum order size, but almost every order we
take is above that level. That means you can specify
any color (not just stock), any size and shape, any
graphic, and the customization is free.
Yes,
but the threshold is surprisingly low. It’s based on
how much of the substrate we must use in our custom
printers and applicators. That amounts to about ten
square feet; in terms of cost, that works out to
about $100 in signage. So that’s your minimum to
print, whether it’s one very big sign or 20
little ones…you decide. (Note: in some
circumstances, we can gang run smaller orders with
larger runs in order to meet smaller demands.)
9.
How long does it take to produce pavement decals?
Once
we have final, approved art, it takes 3-5 working
days to produce, plus standard shipping times. We
strive to meet our client's deadlines. If you’re in a rush,
let’s talk.
