Sign Design Colour Choices

One of the things to take into consideration when you're designing a vinyl sign is colour choices. Although vinyl comes in an almost limitless array of colours, that exact match may not always be attainable. To solve this problem, one of the methods I use is I took my colour samples provided by my vinyl supplier and scanned them into my computer both flats and glosses and saved them into a custom colour pallet. Using these as your fill colours can make a world of difference when creating your design because you will have a relatively accurate representation for your customer. Verify with your supplier as well that they have these colours in stock as well. The last thing you want is to be on a very limited timeline to only find out that although the sample is available, it is a special order item or can only be purchased in a full roll not a partial. Having all of this info sitting on the table will also save you alot of aggravation as well as an upset customer because of an unknown factor that could have been avoided. If you do have to special order some vinyl, verify the time frame from your supplier. If they say 4 to 5 business days for delivery, allow for 5 to 10. Things happen and again, your customer will be alot happier to hear from you early stating that their sign is complete early than getting a call saying there has been a delay.
As always, stay creative my friends.
