The reason Davis businesses call us about event and party signage is usually a date. Somebody needs it by Thursday, or by the weekend, and the shop they normally use has quoted next week. We’re about 19 miles away and about 95% of what we sell is made in this building, which is what makes same-day a clock rather than a slogan.
What event and party signage get used for in Davis.
The businesses ordering event and party signage in Davis cluster into a few recognizable groups. Events, venues and community organizations, retail and storefront business, restaurants, cafes and food business chief among them.
Student and campus groups order event banners, table signage, and shirts.
Davis is a university town: campus organizations, a bicycle-and-downtown retail culture, restaurants, farmers-market and event activity, and research and agricultural businesses around the edges.
Entrance and sponsor banners, directional runs, registration and stage signage, plus the backdrops people actually photograph.
Grand openings, anniversary events and sidewalk sales, where the signage is most of the marketing budget.
Private events, seasonal parties and patio openings, plus the signage that points a street at a doorway.
What it costs.
Event work uses the posted rates: banners $6 per square foot, coroplast signage $9, foam board $10 for indoor boards and cutouts.
A 3×8 entrance banner is $144. A run of 18×24 directional signs is about $27 each retail, less on a real run. A 24×36 welcome board on foam is about $60.
Those are single-order rates. A genuine run (a crew, a campaign, a season, a roster) prices better per piece, so ask for the run rate instead of doing the multiplication yourself. The calculator handles the standard sizes.
How we make them.
The deadline that catches people: we’re closed Saturday and Sunday. For a weekend event the real cutoff is Friday at 10:00 AM, not Friday afternoon. Give yourself a day of slack if you possibly can.
The signage an event actually needs is more mundane than the signage people plan for: entrance, parking, direction, queue, registration, sponsors, restrooms. Get those right and the decorative pieces are a bonus; get them wrong and the welcome banner doesn’t help.
Getting event and party signage from Davis.
Davis is west across the causeway on I-80: a straightforward drive, but plan it rather than counting on a last-minute dash.
Standard event signage is same-day when the order is in by 10:00 AM. Custom cutouts and specialty finishing need a little more room. If the drive is the awkward part rather than the deadline, ask about delivery when you place the order. It’s available on many jobs, though for a genuinely same-day deadline collecting at the counter is still fastest.
Questions we get from Davis.
Can you do custom shapes and cutouts?
Yes. Contour-cut shapes, standees and backdrops are all made here. They need a bit more lead time than a rectangle, so mention them early rather than in the last week.
Can we reuse the signage next year?
Anything without a date on it, yes, which is a good argument for keeping dates on a separate small panel. And the files stay on record either way, so next year’s reprint is a phone call.
How far is the shop from Davis?
About 19 miles. We’re at 1835 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with parking in front and more in the rear.
What if I’m not sure exactly what I need?
Then describe the problem rather than the product. Where it’s going, how long it needs to last, and when you need it. That’s enough for us to tell you which material and size actually solves it, including when the cheaper option is the right answer.
