The Custom Wood Sign: Shaping Up the History of Signs

Sandblasted HDU Sanblasted Cedar or Sandblasted Redwood
April 6th, 2023
Signs

It is highly likely that the first signs that man made in “prehistoric” times were made from wood. And here I have to digress. How does anyone know when prehistoric times started and ended? And if they’re prehistoric, who determines where history began? So really, does “prehistoric” just mean we don’t know our own history?

How Custom Wood Signs Shaped History – Or Did History Shape It?

At any rate, since that custom wood sign decayed thousands of years ago, nobody knows the moment when the first human being, using a CNC router and engraving machine,

We’ve all seen those family custom graphic displays showing how many wives, children, household pets, and other tax write-offs that at one time or another happened to be in the car owner’s home!

If you drive about on the various highways and city streets throughout the United States, one thing that you’ll observe is that virtually every vehicle has die cut stickers or decals stuck to it promoting nearly anything, no matter whether it’s custom graphic proclaiming the occupant’s political views, or perhaps a booster logo promoting that extremely superior university or college the driver went to.

If You’re In The Market For Custom Die cut Stickers,

Bob is an average salesman from a company that sells printers and copy machines. Larry is also an average sales rep for a competing distributor of similar equipment. The printers and copiers the two companies sell and service are of excellent quality, and are, realistically, commoditized products.

This week, Bob and Larry both loaded up their marketing kits, which include portable trade show booths, brochures, business cards, a multimedia kiosk, and a table top display and headed to a regional business technology trade show.

Bob’s marketing director, however, purchased a couple new double sided banner stands.

There are lots of crazy ways sales people and companies use to try to get noticed. Why do some work, while most don’t? Better question – why can one company’s sales rep use roll up banner stands and get dozens of quality sales leads from it while another sales rep from a different company also uses them, but gets very few sales leads – at the same convention or trade show – right next to each other?

Of course, the obvious pat answerer will explain that surely Salesman A, using his retractable stands, was simply a better sales man than Salesman B.

Self Adhesive Letters or Vinyl Lettering for Walls

In 1991, after “researching” starting a company to make signs, banners, and vinyl lettering for walls, etc., in the local Spokane, WA area, my Father and I leapt into the sign business, boldly treading where angels fear to tread.

We purchased the wrong graphics program from John, a slick salesman from Seattle who knew (we found out later) that the company that made the program for cutting self adhesive PVC letters was going to fold 30 days later. Doh!

While self adhesive letters were nothing new in 1991, they were new to us. My Father had a ready built a client base in the area,

Signs

Most of you reading this article probably will never make sandblasting signs, but if you want to know about the process of making them, this article will be very informative in that regard.

In about 1870, Benjamin C. Tilghman invented and patented a method that used high-pressured air to powerfully drive an abrasive substance against wood or other surfaces to remove paint, moss, dirt, or, in the case of sandblasting, wood particles. We’re not precisely sure how long it took makers to adopt this method to create the first wood sandblasted display, but because carved wooden signs had been in existence for thousands of years,

As with everything in the print industry, label sticker printing has been affected by the rise of digital label sticker printing.

It used to be that you could have a short run done if you wanted to have a one or two color tag, but if you wanted a full color graphic, you’d need to buy 5000 or 10,000 labels to keep the cost per sticker to a minimum.

Options for Short Run Sticker Label Printing and Label Sticker Printing for the Long Run

Signs

Many companies today are opting for laminated lettering for logos and interior sign displays because laminate letters simply look great without costing an arm and a leg, which in the current economy, you simply won’t have because the IRS already took it!

Creating Laminated Logos with CNC Routers – How This Technology Changed the Sign Business

Laminated logos have been around for over 20 years and really became both popular and affordable with the advent of the CNC router. In case you didn’t know, CNC stands for “Computerized Numeral Controlled”- or basically a router table with a carriage whose X and Y axis are controlled by a computer.

If you’re upgrading your facility or moving to a new facility, it is highly likely you’ll also be purchasing some logos and letters or some type of new outdoor signage for your building.
