Can you come and look at my shop?

We have someone out on the road everyday, contact us to arrange a time.

Can I send you a photo for ideas and a quote?

Design Questions

Do you do design work?

Yes, we are sign designers.

How do I know my sign will look and be made the way I want?

You'll get a detailed layout of your sign to approve before we start production.

I want to do my own artwork. What kind of file do I supply?

We prefer a CMYK Illustrator .eps with fonts converted to outlines and 10-20mm bleed allowance (proportional to finished size).

However any file that gives us an idea to work from helps.

All I have is a business card for my logo and graphics, can you work with these?

Yes, no problem, we have extensive experience in scanning and vectorising artwork and recreating graphics, logos and fonts, although some time may be charged, depending on the time we spend cleaning up your artwork.

Do you have ready available images and clipart?

We don't want to charge you for our time going through thousands of images. We will point you to online image libraries where you can browse and either you or we can purchase the image on your behalf.

Can you match corporate colours, styles, substrates and fonts?

Yes, we understand the importance of maintaining your company standards.

Manufacturing Questions

Does Signs Direct Glasgow make all the signs themselves or 'farm them out'?

Unlike most 'fast, instant, quick sign shops', we make mostly everything ourselves, that's the only way we've found to get the quality we want and the cost down.
