Stencil your signs when looks are not important.

Stenciling is one of the fastest, cheapest, and most versatile methods of sign making. It has the flexibility of hand- painting, allows for extensive reproduction, and can be used for almost any kind of surface. All negative areas of a letterform must be connected to the outer edge of the character by the characteristic stencil “bridge.”
Ink can be applied to the surface of the sign with a stenciling brush, spray paint, or roller. Hand rollers produce the most precise image and should be used on relatively smooth surfaces. Stencil brush application is the most time-consuming process and is not recommended for large quantities. It works well on rough surfaces such as concrete or burlap. Spray paint is the most commonly used method because the ink is applied quickly and dries fast. This technique is use for those on a budget, and don't really need a professional looking sign.

Experiance counts in the Sign Industry

There are a lot of sign companies around these days. With the advent of the computer, anyone can buy the sign software and hardware required to make signs. We also use these great tools to produce great looking business signs for our customers. We where producing commercail signs, concrete signs, business signs, pole signs, painted signs, building signs, and all custom signs when the industry was more specialized and more of a craft. Before there where computers to make our sign drawings and sign lettering precise, everything had to be done by hand. Any sign made pryor to the advent of the computer was designed by an artist, that sign rendering was taking and put on a paper pattern which had to drawn by hand. Then the pattern would be applied to metal material (or other sign material) and cut out to make a lighted channel letter. The neon had to be made to fit each letter, and each componant that was going to be used, had to be cut by hand. If are computers go down, Anaheim Signs can still produce a professional looking sign, because we have that foundation in the sign industry, Can your sign company offer that?
