										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As <strong>Trader Joe&#8217;s</strong> continues to open new locations across California and the rest of the country, <strong>SignWorks</strong> is proud to be part of this exciting journey. Our company plays a key role in helping new stores get ready for their grand openings. From banners to signs, we manage the entire process to ensure each store has the perfect signage to welcome customers.<a href="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3803.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9110 alignright" src="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_3803.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="168" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Importance of Signage for New Trader Joe’s Stores</strong></p>
<p>Opening a new store isn’t just about stocking the shelves; it’s also about creating a welcoming environment that informs and attracts customers. That’s where SignWorks comes in. We make sure every <strong>Trader Joe’s</strong> has the right signs and banners before the doors even open.</p>
<p><strong>What We Provide for Trader Joe’s Stores:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Large Banners</strong>: These announce store openings, hiring needs, and operating hours.</li>
<li><strong>Decals</strong>: Custom decals display the store’s logo and trading hours on windows and doors.</li>
<li><strong>Interior and Exterior Signs</strong>: From directional signs to parking signs, we handle it all.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why Large Banners Matter</strong></p>
<p>Before a new Trader Joe’s opens, it’s important to let the community know. We design and ship <strong>large banners</strong> outside the store that share key information, like:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Store Hours</strong>: So customers know when to come by.</li>
<li><strong>Hiring Announcements</strong>: To recruit local talent for the new location.</li>
<li><strong>Grand Opening Dates</strong>: So everyone can get excited about when the store will officially open.</li>
</ul>
<p>These banners are large, colorful, and easy to read, making them highly effective in reaching the local audience.</p>
<p><strong>Managing the Entire Signage Process</strong></p>
<p>At SignWorks, we manage the entire signage process for each <strong>Trader Joe&#8217;s</strong> store, making sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.</p>
<p><strong>Our Process Includes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Design Integrity</strong>: We ensure the designs fit Trader Joe’s unique style whether standard or custom sign products.</li>
<li><strong>Producing</strong>: Using high-quality materials like <strong>PVC, aluminum, and plastic</strong>, we ensure all signs are durable and long-lasting.</li>
<li><strong>Installing</strong>: Our team does not perform the installation, but we make sure everything is set up correctly for an easy installation process.</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether it’s a simple banner or a complex series of signs, we handle every detail.</p>
<p><strong>Types of Signs We Provide</strong></p>
<p>Trader Joe’s stores need a variety of signs, both inside and outside. Each sign serves a specific purpose, from helping customers find their way to ensuring the parking lot is safe and well-marked.</p>
<p><strong>Interior Signs</strong></p>
<p>Inside the store, we provide:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Directional Signs</strong>: These help customers navigate the store.</li>
<li><strong>Aisle Signs</strong>: Clear signage helps shoppers find the products they’re looking for.</li>
<li><strong>Informational Signs</strong>: These include everything from price signs to product details.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Exterior Signs</strong></p>
<p>Outside the store, we provide:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Parking Signs</strong>: We create <strong>ADA-compliant signs</strong> and parking signs to ensure accessibility.</li>
<li><strong>Stanchions, Signicades, and Delineators</strong>: These signs help guide both foot traffic and vehicles safely around the store.</li>
</ul>
<p>These signs are designed to fit Trader Joe’s unique aesthetic while providing important information for customers.</p>
<p><strong>Why High-Quality Signs Are Important</strong></p>
<p>The signs we provide aren’t just for looks—they serve an important function. High-quality signage ensures that customers and employees are safe, informed, and able to navigate the store easily.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of High-Quality Signage:</strong></p>
<ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At SignWorks, we take pride in helping businesses bring their brand to life. One of our recent projects was with Waxing the City, a salon in Walnut Creek, CA. We partnered with Archetype, a top developer, to install interior graphics that ensure the branding at this facility stands out, using cut vinyl lettering to enhance the space.</p>
<p>What is Cut Vinyl Lettering?</p>
<p><a href="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Wax-In-the-City-Cut-Vinyl-Suite-Lettering-Install.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-9100 alignright" src="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Wax-In-the-City-Cut-Vinyl-Suite-Lettering-Install-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Cut vinyl lettering is a popular and effective signage tool that uses vinyl material cut into shapes, words, or logos. These can be applied to windows, walls, and doors, offering a professional and clean look.</p>
<p>Why Is Cut Vinyl Lettering Great for Branding?</p>
<p>Cost-effective: Vinyl lettering is an affordable way to display important information.</p>
<p>Versatile: It can be applied to different surfaces, such as glass or painted walls.</p>
<p>Durable: Vinyl lettering lasts a long time and holds up against wear and tear.</p>
<p>Customizable: It can be cut into any shape, size, or color, matching your brand’s exact needs.</p>
<p>Enhancing Waxing the City&#8217;s Space with Vinyl Lettering</p>
<p>At Waxing the City in Walnut Creek, the goal was to create a welcoming and functional environment for both customers and employees. The salon has several individual suites, and each of these spaces need to reflect the brand’s message. That’s where cut vinyl lettering came in handy.</p>
<p>Delivering the Brand’s Message</p>
<p>Vinyl lettering is perfect for reinforcing what Waxing the City is all about. On walls and windows, the lettering communicates the salon’s services, creating a professional look that appeals to customers. The letters clearly highlight what the spa delivers, making sure that everyone who enters knows they are in the right place!</p>
<p>Making Wayfinding Easy</p>
<p>With several suites in the salon, wayfinding is key. Wayfinding signs help direct people where they need to go. SignWorks installed the cut vinyl lettering to label different areas and make it easier for clients to navigate the space. Whether someone is new to the salon or a returning customer, these signs help guide them to the correct suite.</p>
<p>Creating a Friendly and Inviting Atmosphere</p>
<p>Beyond just branding and directions, vinyl lettering also helps create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. When people feel comfortable in a place, they are more likely to return. Waxing the City’s use of bright, well-designed vinyl signs improves the look and feel of the salon, making it more inviting for both customers and employees.</p>
<p>The Benefits of Cut Vinyl Lettering for Businesses</p>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering isn’t just for salons like Waxing the City—it’s a great choice for many businesses. Here’s why:</p>
<p>Reinforces Brand Identity</p>
<p>Having consistent branding throughout your space is essential. Vinyl lettering helps keep your business&#8217;s identity clear and noticeable. It ensures that everyone who enters your facility knows exactly what your brand stands for.</p>
<p>Boosts Marketing Efforts</p>
<p>Whether on windows, doors, or walls, vinyl lettering can be used to display key marketing messages. You can highlight promotions, special services, or even just showcase your business’s logo in an eye-catching way.</p>
<p>Easy to Update</p>
<p>One of the best things about vinyl lettering is that it’s easy to change and update. If Waxing the City decides to modify their branding or add new services, they can quickly swap out the old lettering with new ones.</p>
<p>Why Choose SignWorks for Your Vinyl Lettering Needs?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ONDAS-Cut-Vinyl-Graphics-Door2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-8744 alignright" src="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ONDAS-Cut-Vinyl-Graphics-Door2-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Today, the SignWorks installation team returned to Sunnyvale to finish the lettering for the two monument signs at ONDAS Networks’ new home, as well as the entry doors. The client requested a different shade of blue vinyl and slightly larger cut vinyl letters, so the team had to recut the vinyl. At SignWorks, we always aim to please! Let&#8217;s take a closer look at how we create these cut vinyl letters and where they are commonly used.</p>
<h2>What Is Cut Vinyl Lettering?</h2>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering is a popular choice for many businesses when it comes to signage. But what exactly is cut vinyl lettering, and why is it so popular?</p>
<h3>Understanding Cut Vinyl Lettering</h3>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering involves cutting letters, numbers, or shapes from sheets of colored vinyl. The vinyl is a type of durable plastic that can stick to various surfaces, making it ideal for signs. The letters are cut using a special machine that follows a design created on a computer. This process allows for precise and clean cuts, resulting in professional-looking letters.</p>
<h3>Why Cut Vinyl Lettering Is Popular</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Versatility</strong>: Cut vinyl can be used on windows, walls, vehicles, and signs. It’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.</li>
<li><strong>Customization</strong>: Businesses can choose from a wide range of colors, sizes, and fonts to match their branding.</li>
<li><strong>Durability</strong>: Vinyl lettering can withstand different weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor signage.</li>
<li><strong>Affordability</strong>: Compared to other signage options, cut vinyl lettering is cost-effective and provides a high-quality appearance.</li>
</ol>
<h2>The Fabrication Process of Cut Vinyl Lettering</h2>
<p>Creating cut vinyl lettering involves several steps, each requiring precision and attention to detail. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process:</p>
<h3>Designing the Letters</h3>
<p>The first step is designing the letters on a computer. This involves choosing the font, size, and color of the vinyl. For ONDAS Networks, the client wanted a specific shade of blue and slightly larger letters.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Selecting the Font and Size</strong>: The design team works with the client to choose the best font and size for their needs.</li>
<li><strong>Choosing the Color</strong>: The team selects the appropriate vinyl color to match the client’s branding. In this case, a new shade of blue was chosen.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Cutting the Vinyl</h3>
<p>Once the design is finalized, the next step is to cut the vinyl. This is done using a machine called a vinyl cutter.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Loading the Vinyl Sheet</strong>: A sheet of the chosen vinyl color is loaded into the vinyl cutter.</li>
<li><strong>Setting Up the Machine</strong>: The design is uploaded to the machine, and the settings are adjusted to ensure precise cutting.</li>
<li><strong>Cutting the Letters</strong>: The machine cuts the vinyl according to the design, creating the letters or shapes.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Weeding the Vinyl</h3>
<p>After the vinyl is cut, the excess vinyl needs to be removed. This process is called weeding.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Peeling Away Excess Vinyl</strong>: The excess vinyl around the letters is carefully peeled away, leaving only the desired letters.</li>
<li><strong>Removing Inner Pieces</strong>: Any small pieces inside letters (like the centers of &#8220;O&#8221; or &#8220;A&#8221;) are also removed.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Applying Transfer Tape</h3>
<p>Transfer tape is used to move the vinyl letters from the backing paper to the final surface.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Placing Transfer Tape</strong>: A layer of transfer tape is placed over the vinyl letters.</li>
<li><strong>Smoothing the Tape</strong>: The tape is smoothed down to ensure it sticks well to the vinyl.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Installing the Vinyl Letters</h3>
<p>The final step is installing the vinyl letters on the desired surface.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Positioning the Letters</strong>: The team carefully positions the letters on the monument signs and entry doors.</li>
<li><strong>Applying the Letters</strong>: The transfer tape is pressed down to make the vinyl stick to the surface.</li>
<li><strong>Removing the Tape</strong>: The transfer tape is slowly peeled away, leaving the vinyl letters perfectly in place.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Where and How Cut Vinyl Lettering Is Used</h2>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering is incredibly versatile and can be used in many different ways. Here are some common applications:</p>
<h3>Storefront Windows</h3>
<p>Businesses often use cut vinyl lettering on their storefront windows to display their name, hours of operation, or special promotions. The vinyl sticks well to glass and can be easily removed or replaced when needed.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Graphics</h3>
<p>Vinyl lettering is a popular choice for vehicle graphics. Companies use it to display their logo, contact information, and branding on cars, trucks, and vans. The vinyl is durable and can withstand the elements, making it perfect for outdoor use.</p>
<h3>Indoor Signs</h3>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering is also used for indoor signs. It can be applied to walls, doors, and even floors to create directional signs, motivational quotes, or branding elements. The clean look of vinyl lettering enhances the professional appearance of any space.</p>
<h3>Outdoor Signs</h3>
<p>For outdoor signs, like the monument signs at ONDAS Networks’ new home, cut vinyl lettering is ideal. It is weather-resistant and can be customized to fit the specific needs of the business. The durable material ensures the signs look great for a long time.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The SignWorks team takes pride in delivering high-quality signage that meets the specific needs of our clients. By recutting the vinyl letters to match ONDAS Networks’ requested shade of blue and size requirements, we ensured their monument signs look perfect. Cut vinyl lettering is a versatile, durable, and cost-effective option for businesses looking to create professional and eye-catching signs. Whether it’s for storefront windows, vehicle graphics, indoor signs, or outdoor signs, cut vinyl lettering is a fantastic choice.

SignWorks, working alongside Hines Real Estate Development and Cushman Wakefield property management, is taking care of these final touches to make ONDAS Networks&#8217; new home look amazing.</p>
<h2>What Are Acrylic Dimensional Letters?</h2>
<p>Acrylic dimensional letters are a popular choice for signage, especially among corporate clients. But what exactly are they?</p>
<h3>Understanding Acrylic Dimensional Letters</h3>
<p>Acrylic dimensional letters are signs made from a special type of plastic called acrylic. These letters are cut and shaped to create a three-dimensional effect, making them stand out. They can be painted in any color, making it easy to match a company&#8217;s brand. The letters are usually mounted on walls, doors, or exterior monuments to create a professional and eye-catching look.</p>
<h3>Why Acrylic Dimensional Letters Are Popular</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Durability</strong>: Acrylic is a tough material that can withstand different weather conditions, making it perfect even for outdoor signs.</li>
<li><strong>Versatility</strong>: These letters can be customized in various sizes, shapes, and colors to match any brand’s needs.</li>
<li><strong>Professional Appearance</strong>: The three-dimensional effect makes the signage look more attractive and professional, which is important for corporate clients who want to make a good impression.</li>
<li><strong>Cost-Effective</strong>: Acrylic letters provide a high-end look without breaking the bank, making them a cost-effective option for businesses.</li>
</ol>
<h2>The Role of Commercial Property Management Companies</h2>
<p>Commercial property management companies like Cushman Wakefield play a crucial role in ensuring that the buildings they manage are not only functional but also appealing. When selecting a sign company for their properties, they look for several key factors.</p>
<h3>What Property Management Companies Look For</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Quality</strong>: High-quality materials and craftsmanship are a must. The signs need to look good and last long.</li>
<li><strong>Customization</strong>: The ability to customize signs to fit the specific needs and branding of different tenants.</li>
<li><strong>Timeliness</strong>: Meeting deadlines is crucial. Property management companies need to ensure that all signage is installed on time, especially during a tenant’s move-in period.</li>
<li><strong>Professionalism</strong>: The sign company should be professional and reliable, providing excellent customer service throughout the process.</li>
<li><strong>Experience</strong>: Companies with a proven track record of successful projects are preferred because they have the expertise needed to handle various challenges.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Why SignWorks Is the Perfect Fit</h2>
<p>SignWorks has been chosen to handle the signage for ONDAS Networks’ new home, and it&#8217;s clear why. They meet all the criteria set by commercial property management companies like Cushman Wakefield.</p>

<h2>A Warm Welcome for ONDAS Networks</h2>
<p>The new signage at ONDAS Networks’ Sunnyvale location is more than just a practical addition. It’s a welcoming feature that enhances the overall atmosphere for both guests and employees. The pin-mounted dimensional logo sign in the corporate colors stands proudly, making a strong statement about the company’s brand. The branded reception area feels inviting, creating a positive first impression for anyone who walks through the door.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Acrylic dimensional letters have become a popular choice for corporate signage due to their durability, versatility, professional appearance, and cost-effectiveness.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/First-Republic-Sign-Removal-Project3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-8508 alignright" src="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/First-Republic-Sign-Removal-Project3-300x140.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="140" /></a>SignWorks recently wrapped up an extensive project for ADART, a company that sought us out for a significant sign removal task. The project involved removing signs from several branches of the former First Republic Bank, which will soon become new branches of JP Morgan Chase. Our hardworking crew spent the past 10 days tackling this challenging job across multiple locations, including the Chinatown and Montgomery branches in San Francisco, as well as branches in El Portal and El Camino. Let’s dive into the details of this massive effort!</p>
<h3>The Scope of the Project</h3>
<h4>Locations Involved</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>San Francisco (Chinatown and Montgomery branches)</strong></li>
<li><strong>El Portal</strong></li>
<li><strong>El Camino</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>The Challenges We Faced</h3>
<h4>Coordinating Multiple Crews</h4>
<p>This project was no small feat. We had to coordinate multiple crews to ensure everything was done efficiently and safely. Each location required a different approach and timing, making coordination key to our success.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Team Effort</strong>: Multiple crews worked simultaneously at different locations.</li>
<li><strong>Scheduling</strong>: We had to stick to a strict schedule, especially since some signs couldn’t be removed prematurely.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Specialty Lifts for Hard-to-Reach Signs</h4>
<p>Many of the signs were located in hard-to-reach places, which required the use of various specialty lifts. These lifts are designed to safely reach high places, making it possible to remove signs from tall buildings and pylon signs.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Building Signs</strong>: High up on buildings, needing special equipment.</li>
<li><strong>Pylon Signs</strong>: Tall, freestanding signs requiring precise removal techniques.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Process of Sign Removal</h3>
<h4>Removing Electrical Cabinet Signs</h4>
<p>One of the most complex parts of the job was removing the electrical cabinet and <a href="http://it’s https://signworks.us.com/channel-letter-signs/">channel letter signs</a>. These signs not only needed to be taken down but also had to be safely disconnected from their power sources.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Safety First</strong>: We had to ensure all electrical connections were safely capped to prevent any hazards.</li>
<li><strong>Detailed Work</strong>: Each <a href="https://signworks.us.com/category/electrical-sign-installation/">electrical cabinet sign</a> was carefully dismantled and removed.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Installing Lexan and ACM Blank Panels</h4>
<p>After the signs were removed, we installed Lexan and ACM blank panels as per ADART’s instructions. These panels serve as placeholders, keeping the building&#8217;s appearance clean and professional until new signs are installed.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Lexan Panels</strong>: Durable and clear, these panels are often used for their toughness and visibility.</li>
<li><strong>ACM Panels</strong>: Aluminum Composite Material panels are lightweight yet strong, making them perfect for temporary coverage.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Overcoming the Schedule Constraints</h3>
<h4>Dictated Schedule</h4>
<p>One of the biggest challenges we faced was adhering to a dictated schedule. Some signs couldn’t be removed too early due to specific requirements set by the bank.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Timing</strong>: We had to make multiple trips to each location to ensure we followed the schedule precisely.</li>
<li><strong>Coordination</strong>: Ensuring that each team knew their tasks and timings was crucial to staying on schedule.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Tools and Equipment We Used</h3>
<h4>Specialty Lifts</h4>
<p>To reach the high and challenging sign locations, we used various types of specialty lifts. These lifts are designed to provide safe and stable access to elevated work areas.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Types of Lifts</strong>: Boom lifts, scissor lifts, and cherry pickers were among the equipment used.</li>
<li><strong>Safety Measures</strong>: Each lift was operated by trained professionals to ensure safety.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Installation Tools</h4>
<p>For installing the Lexan and ACM panels, we used specialized tools to ensure they were securely fitted and aligned properly.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drills and Fasteners</strong>: Essential for attaching the panels to the building surfaces.</li>
<li><strong>Measuring Tools</strong>: Ensuring precise placement and alignment of each panel.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Reflecting on the Project</h3>
<h4>Team Effort and Dedication</h4>
<p>This project showcased the dedication and teamwork of the SignWorks crew. Despite the complexity and challenges, our team remained focused and committed to completing the job to the highest standards.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Communication</strong>: Constant communication between crews ensured everyone was on the same page.</li>
<li><strong>Problem-Solving</strong>: When unexpected issues arose, our team quickly found solutions to keep the project on track.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Client Satisfaction</h4>
<p>ADART was very pleased with the results of our work. The careful removal of the signs, the safe capping of electrical sources, and the professional installation of blank panels met all their expectations.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Positive Feedback</strong>: ADART appreciated our attention to detail and commitment to safety.</li>
<li><strong>Successful Partnership</strong>: This project strengthened our relationship with ADART, paving the way for future collaborations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>The sign removal project for ADART was a significant undertaking that demonstrated SignWorks&#8217; capability to handle complex and large-scale tasks. From coordinating multiple crews to using specialized equipment and adhering to a strict schedule, our team showed exceptional skill and dedication. The successful completion of this project not only met ADART&#8217;s needs but also reinforced our reputation as a reliable and professional sign company. We look forward to future projects and continuing to provide top-notch service to all our clients.</p>

First, we did a site survey to confirm measurements and then we began working on approval proofs for their review. The project consisted of the company name and logo for the front and side windows of their commercial space.<a href="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-7645 alignright" src="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="389" height="292" srcset="https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-300x225.jpg 300w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-768x576.jpg 768w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-510x382.jpg 510w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https://signworks.us.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Trinity-Hardware-Window-Graphics.jpg 2016w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px" /></a></p>
<p>Cut vinyl lettering and logo graphics are a very affordable way of branding a space and are frequently seen in retail spaces where branding is supplemented with promotional advertising and messaging. With the advent of commercial spaces with glass windows and doors, it is prevalent among all types of businesses, especially on entry doors where many businesses post their hours of operation. Cut vinyl lettering is an easy, inexpensive and attractive way to let customers know when the business is open.</p>
<p>For businesses that house many professionals at the same location, like a medical office, cut vinyl letters can be used to list the names of all the practitioners at the location.</p>
<p>Vinyl window graphics and lettering can be done in standard vinyl colors including black or white, or in custom printed colors to match your brand. The typical size allocated to front door lettering is usually no more than 25 by 25 inches, however, it takes practiced hands to install vinyl graphics correctly. And, if we are removing old graphics, we must first saturate the old vinyl with isopropyl alcohol and then scrape off the old lettering using a razor blade. Once the glass is clean and dry, the new lettering must be centered, leveled, and then taped in place. Once aligned, our installers squeegee the graphics and new lettering from the top down and carefully remove the paper backer.</p>
<p>In urban areas where there is a higher risk of graffiti, the window graphics are mounted on the inside of the windows vs. the outside glass.</p>
<p>If you need vinyl window graphics and lettering, please give us a call at <a href="tel:510-357-2000">(510) 357-2000</a>. Or you can use the contact form on our website to reach us.  Be sure to visit our website to view and read about some of our recently completed sign projects or to learn more about our work.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When <a href="https://www.aptosolutions.com/">Apto Solutions</a> (Apto) decided to open an office in San Leandro, CA we were glad they reached out to us to supply their window logo graphics.  Located close to our Hayward production facility, <a href="https://www.signworks.us.com/">SignWorks</a> was happy to step in and provide assistance.  The logo and branding elements had already been established, but the company needed our help with sizing and positioning the graphics over the two large window panels so that the look was cohesive and balanced.</p>
<p>We sent a technician to measure the window panels and had our designer make a proof.  The client asked to see a few spacing options before settling on a design that spanned the two window panels.  After these corrections and sizing adjustments, we were able to print and cut the vinyl graphics.  The wordmark in the logo, sized as a 24” orange circle, is the dominant aspect of the company logo.</p>
<p>Apto is an industry leader in the IT Asset Disposition services arena and provides innovative end-to-end solutions that guard against the risks and complexities of the IT asset lifecycle.  They offer sustainable, secure and transparent IT life cycle solutions to their clients.</p>
<p>In general the steps used to create Ready to Apply (RTA) or cut vinyl window decals are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Design: Deciding on the look or text elements, as well as the colors and sizing, are all part of the design process.  This includes decisions about whether to include a logo or develop one if it doesn’t already exist.</li>
<li>Print or Plot: If the colors in the design are stock vinyl colors then the vinyl will be cut from a vinyl roll using a plotter. If the design includes multiple or custom colors and gradients, the decals will be printed on our wide format printer and then contour cut.</li>
<li>Weed: Weeding is a tedious process, especially when the text is small or when curvy san serif fonts are used.  It involves removing the text and graphics for the vinyl sheeting material and it requires patience, good eyesight and an Exacto Knife.</li>
<li>Mask: When all the excess vinyl has been weeded away, the vinyl is covered with a layer of low TAC transfer tape.  Once the graphic positioned in place, the backing (or relief paper) will be peeled away leaving the sticky side of the vinyl exposed.</li>
<li>Apply: Once the design lettering/graphic is positioned in place and level, it can be “transferred” to the surface it is being mounted to.  This can be a storefront window, door, vehicle or other substrate.  At this point the backing paper is removed and the sticky side of the vinyl bonds to the other surface.  The vinyl is then pressed into place using a tool called a squeegee.</li>
</ul>
<p>In fact, some of our clients, especially Trader Joe’s, have us make their RTA decals for them to apply themselves.  If you are planning a window graphics project or looking for decals for a promotional event please connect with us. You can visit our website or reach us by phone at <a href="tel:510-357-2000">(510) 357-2000</a>.  We’ll help you decide on fonts and colors, and provide design services when needed.  Please visit the website for more information and to read our blog posts or view photographs of recently completed projects.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Southland Mall Management contacted us a few weeks ago they needed a quick response on a cut vinyl leasing sign for the exterior windows of their former tenant, Elephant Bar.  The establishment had closed and the space is now available for lease.  Window graphics, marketing the newly available space, was thought to be one of the more cost of cut vinyl lettering for leased space information, in-store promotions, store hours and the like.</p>
<p>We all agree that one of the most customer-friendly things most businesses can do is display key information on their glass entry doors and cut vinyl lettering is an easy and attractive way to inform potential customers of your company name, business hours, telephone number and website address.   Also, the building and suite number should be displayed prominently for all visitors, including customers, delivery drivers and first responders. This basic information displayed as cut vinyl window decals can also be used to advertise products, services, prices and other marketing information.</p>
<p>If the business has several principal professionals, such as health care providers or insurance agents, it’s good to include a list of names on the door as well.</p>
<p>Vinyl window lettering can be done in standard vinyl colors to include black or white, or custom printed colors to match your company branding. While the typical size of front door lettering is usually no more than 25 by 25 inches, it does take practiced hands to install the lettering correctly. When removing text we must first saturate the old vinyl with isopropyl alcohol and scrape off the old lettering with a razor blade. Once the glass is clean and dry, the new lettering is carefully centered and leveled, then taped in place while the backing is carefully cut and removed. SignWorks installers use a squeegee to gradually attach the new lettering from the top down while slowly peeling away the backing. When this is done correctly, the letters will be free of air bubbles and adhere to the glass for many years to come.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When <a href="https://www.employeeforceprovider.org/">Employer Force Provider</a> (EFP) decided to open an office in Hayward, CA we were glad they reached out to us to supply their window graphics and update their exterior sign faces.  Located just minutes from our production facility, <a href="https://www.signworks.us.com/">SignWorks</a> was happy to step in and provide assistance.  While the logo elements had already been established, they also wanted to replicate a top border style that they had seen on another storefront and personalize the copy to appeal to their client base.  The 12” blue border shown across the top portion of the storefront windows in the picture, reflects this design element.</p>
<p>Our first step was to measure each window panel and to make sure we provided a proof.  Since there were English and Spanish elements in the text, we had to be sure not to introduce typos based on the differences in the language.  After some corrections, sizing and color adjustments, we were able to print and cut the vinyl graphics.  Since the project also involved removing several square feet of frosted vinyl put in place by the former tenant, the process became a somewhat slow one!  Removing baked on vinyl from windows and vehicles can be an arduous and time consuming task, as was the case with this particular installation! It took several trips, heat guns and frustrated personnel to finally get it all off.</p>
<p>Generally speaking the steps used to create an RTA or cut vinyl window decals are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Design: Deciding on the look or what the text will say, as well as the colors and sizing, are all part of the design process.  This includes decisions about whether to include a logo and/or develop one if it doesn’t exist.</li>
<li>Print or Plot: If the colors selected are stock vinyl colors then the vinyl will be cut from a vinyl roll using a plotter. If the design includes multiple or custom colors, the decals will be printed on our wide format printer and then cut out.</li>
<li>Weed: weeding refers to is a tedious process, especially when the text is small or when curvy san serif fonts are used.  It requires patience, good eyesight and an Exacto Knife.</li>
<li>Mask: Once all the excess vinyl has been weeded away the vinyl is covered with a layer of low tac masking or transfer tape.  Once the graphic are properly aligned or positioned in place, the backing (or relief paper) will be peeled away leaving the sticky side of the vinyl exposed.</li>
<li>Apply: Once the design graphic is positioned in place and level, it can be “transferred” to the surface that it is being mounted to.  This can be a storefront window, vehicle or other substrate.  At this stage the backing paper is removed and the sticky side of the vinyl bonds to the other surface.  The vinyl will be pressed into place using a tool called a squeegee.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of our customers, including Trader Joe’s, have us make their RTA’s for them to apply themselves.  This is especially true for small promotional decals used as novelty items and giveaways at events and tradeshows and for small logo graphics.  Call us at <a href="tel:510-357-2000">(510) 357-2000</a> if you need our help with an upcoming RTA or window graphics project.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.signwoks.us.com">SignWorks</a> has always been very active in supplying vinyl decals of all types including vinyl to brand store windows like Megan’s Nail Salon in Hayward.  In this instance changing operating hours necessitated the change, however, cut vinyl decals are used for branding purposes on vehicles, machinery and walls.  It is an economical way to create brand awareness, list operating hours, detail product and service offering information, as well as promote seasonal specials and discounts.</p>
<p>Another major client, <a href="https://www.traderjoes.com/">Trader Joe’s</a>, uses cut vinyl hibiscus decals (in three different sizes) and in red and white, to decorate their stores and create an ambiance that compliments their nautical theme and promotes the feeling of a tropical paradise.  Other practical uses for decals include logo branding and the individual store operating hours at the entrance/front door of the stores.  They also use cut vinyl on aluminum sign blanks to deliver important safety messaging to drivers and pedestrians detailing traffic safety rules in their parking lots. For inside the stores the safety messaging decals are red vinyl on white PVC or Styrene.</p>
<p>Another client, <a href="https://www.silmanindustries.com/">Silman Construction</a>, uses cut vinyl decals to brand their vehicles, safety helmets and gang boxes.  We have also produced safety labels using low tack specialty vinyl for some of their powder coated equipment where regular vinyl simply would not stick.</p>
<p>We have been producing cut vinyl logos and lettering since 2008.  Though decals are considered semi-permanent because they last a very long time on glass, the fact that the lettering can be removed is an added plus, especially for retailers who like the flexibility of changing their messaging from time to time.  If you have an upcoming cut vinyl lettering project please connect with us as a go-to source.  Our knowledgeable technicians have been working with Bay Area businesses just like yours for a very long time.  We want to help, so just give us a call at <a href="tel:510-357-2000">(510) 357-2000</a>.  You can also visit our website to learn more about us or to view recent blog posts and photographs.</p>
