What is Memorial Day?

Observed during the last Monday in May, Memorial Day is the day our country comes together to commemorate our brave service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for the extraordinary freedom our nation has enjoyed for generations. Introduced as Decoration Day in May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, to lay flowers on (or decorate) the graves of fallen service members, Memorial Day became a federal holiday with the congressional passage of the National Holiday Act of 1971.

Ways to Celebrate Memorial Day

Honor Memorial Day and the memory of our family members, loved ones, friends, neighbors, and everyone who has served our country with a few thoughtful ways we’ve gathered to commemorate this special holiday.

Wear a Memorial Day Pin, Button, or Red Poppy Flower

Proudly wearing a symbol of our country’s military, including a button or pin of the American flag, is a vibrant, eye-catching way to show everyone your patriotic spirit. Choosing to wear a red poppy is a time honored Memorial Day tradition that began during the time of World War I after a poem written by physician and Lt. Col. John McCrae, In Flanders Fields, that describes the fields of brightly colored red poppies he observed while treating the wounded on battlefields during the war. These brightly colored flowers are now known as a national symbol of military sacrifice throughout many countries around the world.

Volunteer Your Time to Veterans, Widows, and Others Affected by Our Fight for Freedom

Perhaps you live near a VA hospital or clinic, an assisted living center, or even in the same neighborhood that a veteran calls home. Spend part of your Memorial Day weekend – and other days throughout the year – bringing joy and the camaraderie of a friendly conversation to veterans, their widows, children, or other loved ones by stopping by for a visit. Whether you bring along a sweet treat, a little token of gratitude, or simply offer your time, they’re sure to feel cared for, remembered, and appreciated.

Honor Our Patriots with a Memorial Plaque

From park benches to tree lined walkways, gardens, bike trails, or even city centers, a professionally engraved brass plaque is a simple, timeless way to memorialize those who selflessly served our country. Go classic by engraving names and dates, or get a bit creative and include a special quote or favorite saying of the person who's memory you re honoring, even a favorite hobby or an engraved image. Anything that will show others something special about your loved one is a wonderful way to honor his or her memory and military service.

Fly the American Flag Proudly and Properly on Memorial Day

To properly display the American flag on Memorial Day, swiftly raise the flag to the top of the flag pole, and then solemnly lower it to half-staff until noon. This is done to honor and remember our fallen service men and women who gave their lives serving our country. At noon, raise the flag back to the top to symbolize that we continue the fight for liberty, freedom, and justice for our fellow Americans.

Our Original Star Spangled Banner Still Flying Proudly

If you’ve ever been to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., then you’ve had the awe-inspiring experience of viewing the original Star Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired Frances Scott Key to pen our national anthem. Raised over Fort McHenry on September 14, 1814, to show America’s victory over the British in the Battle of Baltimore, this flag is among the Smithsonian’s most treasured artifacts. After years of painstaking preservation efforts, America’s original Star Spangled Banner is proudly displayed in a permanent exhibition gallery where millions of people continue to enjoy her incredible splendor!

Key Tips for Designing Effective Banners

No matter what you’re advertising, keeping a few basics in mind will help you design a banner that represents your message well.

Less is more. Expos are typically information overload, so presenting your materials in the simplest format that attendees can view with just a passing glance will help your company to be more easily remembered.

Choose a simple, clean-lined font in a size easily seen from a distance. Place your company’s name at the top of your banner so that guests can immediately see who you are. An engaging headline also can give someone pause to take the time to learn a bit more about your company.

Vibrant graphics with high-resolution imagery present a professional, polished look.

Always include your company’s logo. An obvious choice, including your logo will reinforce brand awareness and is easily recognizable from a distance.

Feature only a few key products or services. Especially for those who are not familiar with your company, these highlights may inspire interest, conversation, and perhaps a new customer.

Share your contact information! Often, attendees quickly snap pictures of banners as they pass by if they’re unable to stop and chat. Providing key contact information including company website, phone number, email, or social media information will make it easy and convenient for them to reach you in a variety of ways.

What is the Customsigns.com Design Wizard? 

Our design wizard is a tool that allows you to design your own custom products, including signs, banners, name plates, license plates, stickers, and more. Customers are able to choose from a wide variety of custom options (depending upon the product) including size, personalized text, font type, color, size, and style, and the option to upload custom art, images, photos, or company logos.

What kinds of files are best for uploading logos or images?

PNG and JPEG files are best for uploading logos or other images because they produce clear, accurate results. PDF files are not recommended since this format produces low quality images and inaccurate colors. For a precise color match, please include exact color codes.

Design Tip – If a white background appears behind the uploaded logo or other image and you have chosen a different background color, be sure to upload an image with a transparent background. If you don’t have a file with a transparent background, simply request, in the special instructions section, that the white background be removed. If using vector art, be sure to convert it to a PNG file.  Some design your own products include an option to remove the white background. To do so, click the “remove white box” button on the options tab of the design wizard.

What is the best way to enter multiple lines of text on one design?

To add text, click the “add new text box” from the text tab in the design wizard. As text is entered, it will appear on the design template on the left. For multiple lines of text, use a separate text box for each individual line.

Can duplicate items be created from a single template in the Design Wizard?

Once an item has been designed and added to the shopping cart, simply select “order a new design based off this design” and a duplicate product is created. Simply edit the text and/or image(s) needed and add to shopping cart. Don’t forget to use the design wizard’s “save” button to conveniently save individual designs to your account for future use.

To easily make changes to your text, select each individual text box, then edit the text in the design wizard on the right. We recommend using the backspace button for removing text. The delete button will reset the font.

What is the Bulk Item Wizard and how is it used?

The “bulk item wizard” button allows duplicate products to be created once an original has been designed. When the original design is complete, choose “show bulk order form” (green button below design field) to view the “bulk order builder”. Simply insert new text and/or image for each new design, as shown in the image below.  This is an efficient way to ensure that each individual item contains the appropriate text and/or image.

Reordering saved designs is as easy as 1-2-3!

To reorder a previously saved design, simply log into your account and choose “my saved designs” from the bottom of the list shown on the left. Choose “order design”, make any desired edits, and save changes. When the new order is submitted, your new design will be created. If you would like to save this new design, remember to select the save button.

Vinyl Banners 101

How Are Banners Constructed?

Our banners are made from high quality 13 oz. woven fiber vinyl with gloss finish, ideal for repeated indoor/outdoor use. Our vinyl is tear and fade resistant, providing exceptional print quality and affordability. Our banners include a reinforced hem to prevent fraying.

What Are Grommets?

Grommets are small metal rings placed on vinyl banners that provide reinforced holes for hanging. These small metal rings provide extra stability and help protect banners from tearing while hung. Grommets are placed in all four corners; additional grommets are added around banner perimeter as required for proper fastening.

printastic.com

What Are Wind Slits?

Wind slits are small, half-moon shaped cuts made directly in the vinyl that allow wind to easily pass through the banner while reducing wind pressure and stress.

Banner Cleaning and Storage

Clean with mild soap and warm water on a slightly dampened soft cloth and dry thoroughly before storing. To avoid wrinkles or creases, store banners loosely rolled in a cool, dry place.

Displaying Your Banner

When installing a banner, do not overstretch or pull the material too tightly. Especially when hanging outside where wind or rain may tug at the banner, leaving a bit of ‘play’ for the banner to gently move will prevent unnecessary damage.

Popular Banner Sizes and Costs

Popular banner sizes and costs are –

Designing an Effective Banner

To promote your brand effectively, designing a banner with a valuable message is essential. Here are our five key tips for designing an effective banner –

Perfect your message!

Less is more. Messages that are short, clear, and concise are more readily remembered by potential customers or clients who are busy and often distracted. For large, outdoor banners five to eight words is ideal, indoor banners should not exceed 15 words or a few short phrases. Keep images and embellishments to a minimum. Too much visual clutter will detract from your core message.

Size matters.

Whether your banner will be read closely or from a distance, choose a banner size that will easily convey your message. Banners that will be read from the street should be larger and include text that is easily readable, while for interior spaces, smaller signs will pack a big punch.

Location, location, location.

Banners should be hung where they will get consumers’ attention, yet not distract from your message. Avoid placing banners over your store name, for example, or in hard to see places. Indoor banners should be strategically placed to lead customers and clients further inside or encourage them to ask questions or for additional information.

Consider color and contrast.

Ideally, the colors on your banner should match or complement your brand’s identity. A single color background will create a more polished, professional look. The greater the contrast between the banner background, font, and graphics, the better its readability will be.

Fonts and graphics.

When choosing font styles, simplicity is key. Stay away from fonts that are too elaborate or challenging to read. No more than two complimentary styles are best. Graphics should be high resolution and clearly relate to your message.

Whether you’re promoting a grand opening, a special event, that spectacular sale or professional services, Customsigns.com makes it easy to create the banners you need for your business. Design your custom banners from scratch or choose from one of our templates. With our custom design tool, your perfect banners are just a click away.

Making Temporary Signs Work for You

Custom Banners for School Events

Tips for Designing Visually Effective and Interesting Signs

What Are Temporary Signs?

Temporary signs are those designed to provide information for an event limited by a specific time frame. Examples include: political campaigns, real estate sales or rentals, construction sites, civic events, or any type of promotion aimed at the general public.  Temporary signs are also used as short-term signage solutions announcing “Coming Soon!” or “Remodeling Underway”, virtually any reason that permanent signs are not in place.

Temporary signs come in many forms, including:

Banners – Signs made of durable, flexible materials that can be attached to walls or windows, hung from ceilings, and can be used indoors or out, depending upon the material the banners are made of

Political/Election Signs – Signs made especially to promote a candidate or a political agenda; typically these signs are only permitted to be displayed on private property and must be removed a specific number of days after voting has taken place

Real Estate Signs – Signs designed to advertise the sale or rent of specific properties, whether private or commercial; these signs are non-illuminated and are generally limited to one sign per property

Construction Signs – Signs erected at construction sites displaying individuals or businesses that are associated with a project; usually only one temporary sign is permitted per construction site

Directional Construction Signs – Signs directing those visiting construction sites and/or making deliveries to proper entrances and exits

Wayfinding Signs – Signs strategically placed to guide and/or direct pedestrian or vehicular traffic when temporary detours are required

Yard Signs – Outdoor signs that can be single or double sided, designed to display a message to passersby; these signs are free standing and often supported by H-stakes

Light Boxes – Illuminated boxes of various sizes that can be free standing or affixed to a wall; interchangeable letters, numbers, and symbols allow temporary messages to be displayed and changed as needed

Indoor Temporary Signs – Signs made to inform people of temporary situations, such as when something is “Out of Order” or “Temporarily Out of Stock”; custom temporary signs that can easily be attached with Velcro give a much more professional appearance than a handwritten or computer printed piece of paper affixed with tape

What are the Benefits of Temporary Signs?

Temporary signs provide an exceptional platform for sharing your message with the masses. These signs are a cost effective marketing tool that can help your business – or your candidate – stand out from the competition. These signs can be exceptionally helpful in promoting a home-based business where additional signage is impractical and/or not permitted.

Additionally, temporary signs are easy to install and remove as needed. Durable, lightweight, and often weather resistant and reusable, temporary signs are portable and help to support the tried and true adage that location is everything!

What Are the Challenges of Temporary Signs?

Some of the biggest challenges for posting temporary signs are the varying rules and regulations in place throughout the country. These can be based on the density of a given area as well as local zoning laws. Public safety is also of concern, for both pedestrians and moving vehicles. Rules may be in place limiting the number of temporary signs that can be posted in a given area, as well as standards that specify font sizes and contrast levels to reduce potential accidents caused by those attempting to view hard to read signs. To make temporary signs stand out and effectively relay your message, less is more. Convey your message in clear, concise language with simple graphics and fewer colors to reduce visual clutter and enhance readability.

Historic districts often also have their own set of special regulations designed to maintain the integrity of local historic districts or landmarks. A temporary sign should never take away from the historic character of these thoughtfully preserved areas.

Urban vs Suburban Signs

Urban areas, such as bustling downtown districts, often have greater pedestrian and vehicle traffic than their suburban counterparts. Therefore, it is important to plan temporary signage that has a compelling, effective message that is clearly visible to travelers quickly moving from one destination to another. Successfully, and safely, catching a potential customer’s or voter’s attention is the name of the game.

Creating effective urban signage is not without its challenges. Often, clutter becomes a concern when an abundance of temporary signs are vying for prime visual space. Additionally, urban areas typically have countless permanent (most often illuminated) signs as far as the eye can see.

Customsigns.com carries an exceptional selection of customizable temporary signs sure to meet your needs. Our Customer Focus Team is here to guide you or answer any questions you may have along the way.

Tips for Designing Visually Effective and Interesting Signs

Political Yard Signs, What You Should Know

How Can Custom Event Banners Help Your School?

Custom designing an original school banner is one of the most effective ways to get – and keep – the attention of students, teachers, and parents alike.

While there are many school events that take place annually, there also are many new and exciting events that take place each academic year – and even a few throughout the summer.

Full-color, durable, vinyl banners are a colorful, festive way to get your message out while putting your school spirit on display!

What Makes A School Banner Effective?

Purpose

To begin with, identify your purpose and target audience and begin designing your banner with these objectives in mind.

For those events that happen each year, such as orientation and welcoming children back to school, sporting events, and book sales, just to name a few – keep your message general and non-specific by not including dates and/or times. These event banners will be ready to go with each new school year.

Design

Add as much color (school colors are a favorite!) and detail as you like! The brighter and more eye-catching the banner, the more likely students will take notice and be excited.

Using a combination of text (no more than two font styles is ideal) and images (be sure they match your message!) is a terrific way to help young minds remember whatever message your banner is relaying.

With that said, be sure not to create a banner that is overly “busy” with too many colors, text, or images so that your message doesn’t get lost in a sea of clutter.

Sending a Message

For any banner, whether it will be used every school year or it's a banner designed for a specific event, it is best to keep the message short and simple.

Focus on a single message and include an encouraging call to action. Additionally, bullet points or numbers are perfect for highlighting key information that will be easier to remember.

Ideas For School Banners:

• Welcome back to school!
• Orientation
• Promote school pride
• Display school mission and values
• Display school rules
• Set positive tone and expectations
• Belonging and inclusiveness
• Improving school morale
• Displaying encouraging messages
• Dances, homecoming, talent shows
• Seasonal event banners
• Fall or other festivals
• Fundraisers

• Individual classrooms/departments/doors
• Lunchrooms
• School nutrition
• Book Sales
• School clubs
• Band banners
• Gymnasiums
• Championship banners
• Add a name/date/championship banners
• Sporting events
• Sports fields
• School and/or sports team sponsors
• Graduations
• School and/or campus expansions
• Parking

When is the Best Time to Order School Banners?

Long gone are the days when students head back to school after the Labor Day holiday has passed. Now, back to school dates vary widely across the country – some students even head back to the classroom at the beginning of August. Starting early to prepare for your new year is key. Place your orders early to avoid the last minute back to school rush. Custom banners typically ship within 1-2 business days.

Check us out on social for more custom sign ideas!

Fast Printing with Basic Text

Start by ordering a number of plain text banners to designate the different parts of the festival grounds and keep traffic flowing. For example, an eye-catching full color vinyl banner is the best way to direct vendors and volunteers to the right parking lot. You can cut down on the number of volunteers needed to give directions when you hang banners with clear instructions.

Plain text is the best option for these kinds of signs because of the legibility. Pick a font that offers a little St. Patrick's Day flair without sacrificing readability, especially if you expect drivers and passengers in vehicles to read the message as they ride by.

Custom Artwork for Welcome Banners

For banners welcoming guests to the festival, go big with themed artwork and full color printing. Consider licensing inexpensive and attractive Celtic knots or shamrock designs to brighten up your signage without spending a fortune. Combining clip art in an artistic way usually comes with a lower price from the graphic design team than artwork created from scratch.

Don't just download a picture of a leprechaun from the Internet and slap it on the banner. While many small local festivals get away with copyright violation year after year, a complaint from the owner of the artwork can leave all your banners in the trash bins. Stick with properly licensed content and artwork to stay on the right side of the law.

Advertising the Scottish and Irish Heritage Festivals

People might already expect a St. Patrick's Day festival because it's a well-known holiday, but heritage and Celtic festivals definitely need extra advertising. Keep the banners small you plan to use as advertising. Stick with the most important facts, such as the date, location, and website address for more information. Too much content packed onto a small banner or poster makes it harder for people to quickly get the gist of your message as they're passing it.

Consider asking festival sponsors to pay for some of the banners in exchange for a short mention of their companies at the bottom. Adding a single extra line of text to each banner is well worth it if you can defray your costs while involving more community members.

With fast printing options, you can order your festival banners only a few weeks ahead of the event and get them in time for advertising. Make this year's St. Patrick's Day festival the best one yet by expanding your signage with affordable vinyl banners.

Already October is on its way out, as it continues to get cooler and cooler outside. In just a few short day’s we’ll already be in to November! Where does the time go? And while September and October may have gotten all of us reacquainted with the fall season, by this point we’ve been opening our windows at night, carving pumpkins, and figuring out our plans for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. But before we all gather round the table to carve the turkey and gorge on homemade mashed potatoes, there’s one more fall tradition to take part in before settling in for the long winter. The county fair!

For patrons and vendors all over the country, the dates have been set, signs erected, and anticipation has been steadily growing to return to the Ferris wheels, fun houses, junk food, and all the vendors we've loved since childhood. So for those who happen to run and operate the resident county fair food trucks or carnival game booths, ‘tis the season to start generating those profits"! So what do we suggest? This sounds like a job for a one-of-a-kind custom banner!

The truth is that the use of a custom sign can give your profits a much needed boost! As any business owner could tell you, visibility is one of the many important components to success and what better way to increase your visibility than with a sign! Constructed with high quality vinyl and made in our very own factories here in Jacksonville, FL, our custom banners are capable of any vibrant and colorful images and/or text. Unlike traditional signs, banners can be easily put up and taken down, either at the end of each day, or at the end of the event and then stored away somewhere until you need them again! Our vinyl banners are flexible and can therefore be folded up and stored just about anywhere until next time.

We here at Custom Signs have been in the signage industry for over 60 years! With our business experience combined with the unique and seasoned skilled professionals, there is no limit to what we can create! As an added bonus, all of our orders ship fast, so don’t worry if you think there isn’t enough time to order before the fair comes to town and you’ve got to be out there and set up! We’re here to help you make a difference, so order your new custom banner today and get ready to be open for business!

Yes, even way down here at the tip of the continental United States, we experience those famous autumn days – and I can promise you, that we are every bit as excited for them as the rest of the country. From cozy knit sweaters, to pumpkin spice lattes, and relaxing nights with the fall breeze filling our homes through open windows (a rarity in Florida) – words cannot express how excited we get for this wonderfully cozy time of year! Even though our leaves may not change in the same colorful ways that their northern counterparts do, there are still plenty of other seasonal sights, signs, and activities that we have come to associate with Fall regardless of the lack of Fall foliage.

But next to the changing leaves, what else signals the arrival of Fall? Pumpkin patches! Yes, pumpkins appear to be the perfect decoration to add to any home no matter if it’s to decorate for Halloween or Thanksgiving! But instead of buying from your neighborhood grocery store – a pumpkin patch is always the best way to go when celebrating the new season! So when that Autumn season pokes its head around the corner and all the pumpkins have been harvested and are ready to go, how can you make sure that your own particular pumpkin patch gets noticed and makes a decent profit this year?

We here at Custom Signs have never made a secret of our dedication and commitment to helping business owners big and small. With our awesome high quality products, we work hard to make sure that your business gets the kind of attention it deserves with the help of some attention grabbing signs. For the past six decades, we've dedicated ourselves to perfecting both our craft as well as outstanding customer service skills.

Whether you want a custom engraved sign, a detailed full color printed sign or a reusable banner that can be used over and over again, we've got you covered! Banners in particular are great for small road side stands or businesses! Large, bold, and capable of a full spectrum of colors, our large banners make your stand easy to see from the road when driving past, or even if your potential customers are walking in the distance. While engraved signs work well and will also suit your business just fine, banners easily fold up and can be stored nearly anywhere and when it comes time to take them out again – they look good as new!

Already have your design in mind? Perfect! Just email us your artwork and we’ll do the rest! Here at Custom Signs, we pride ourselves on our stellar turnaround time and look forward to helping your business grow!
