Wood Sign Making Compliments of Italy – From Custom To Wholesale We Are Always Here To Help

You Never Know What You Have Inspired

Earlier this week, we received an email from a person overseas, saying that they came across an article in Sign Craft Magazine from March/April 2009 with a sign we had made.  We often partake in sign publications asking for step by step articles about how we manufacture custom and wholesale wood signs.  It is a great way to connect with other manufacturers in the sign making profession.

The email explained that in Italy they don’t have all the materials that we have here in North America but building wood signs was a hobby and our step by step plan was useful.  With a bit of subsitution they were able to make a wood sign for friend of theirs.

Below is a pic of the sign that was built based on an article from 2 years ago

Wholesale Wood Signs At Imagemakers 2009

Wholesale Wood Signs For The Sign Industry

Last week we were displaying are Carved Wooden Signs at the Consac Imagemakers Show. This is a well known Canadian Sign industry trade show hosted by The Sign Association Of Canada (of which we are members). Being an award winning Canadian sign company we do our best to show our wholesale wood sign offerings to others in the sign industry.  Many would see others in their industry as competitors, but we see them as potential clients.  Most sign shops are constantly looking for new ways to add revenue streams to their business.  By offering custom wood signs to their clients they are able to do just that. 

Add Revenue With Custom Wood Signs

When we talk about wholesale wood signs, many think that they come in a standard size and finish.  This is not the case. Cedar signs are easily customized to suit each business.  We give sign companies lots of choice when it comes to size, shape, text and graphics. Additionally there are options when it comes to the final sign project.  It can arrive as an unfinished piece or a fully painted sign complete with outdoor finish and optional gold leaf guilding. All of these options are available in both single sided and double sided sandblasted signs. We can provide lots of options designed to fit your budget.
