OAK PARK · SACRAMENTO AREA
Event & Party Signage
in Oak Park.
Sacramento’s oldest suburb, mid-comeback. New independent business, tight budgets, and signage that has to work the first time.
Where can I get event and party signage in Oak Park? Ace Printing & Same Day Signs, at 1835 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825 (about 7 miles from Oak Park), makes event and party signage: banners $6 per square foot, coroplast signage $9, plus custom cutouts and backdrops. Order by 10:00 AM Monday to Friday and most standard work is ready the same afternoon. Free proof before you pay. Call (916) 944-7195.
Oak Park sends event and party signage work through this shop steadily, which is what you’d expect from somewhere about 7 miles from a print floor that closes at 5 and starts the same-day queue at 10. Free proof before anything runs, and a free reprint if we get an approved proof wrong.
Who this is for in Oak Park.
The businesses ordering event and party signage in Oak Park cluster into a few recognizable groups. Churches, nonprofits and neighborhood groups, medical, dental and clinical offices, contractors and trades chief among them.
Opening-day work: storefront lettering, a banner while the permanent sign is being sorted out, business cards, and menus.
Oak Park has been Sacramento’s first suburb, then its most disinvested neighborhood, and now a mix of both stories at once.
Church, nonprofit and neighborhood events run on the same kit every year, so the artwork stays on file and next year is a date change.
Health fairs, clinic days and community screening events with wayfinding and registration signage.
Trade shows, supplier days and open-house events at a shop or yard.
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.
Nothing is charged before you’ve approved a free proof, and if we get an approved proof wrong we reprint it free. Every rate is published, so the only surprise should be how quickly it’s ready.
The part worth knowing.
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.
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.
Getting event and party signage from Oak Park.
Roughly seven miles from the counter, down the Capital City Freeway and across toward Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard depending on which end of the neighborhood you’re in. The Broadway end is the quickest run.
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 Oak Park.
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.
What signage does an event actually need?
Entrance, parking, direction, queue, registration, restrooms and sponsors. Those are the ones people notice when they’re missing. Decorative pieces come after, not before.
How far is the shop from Oak Park?
About 7 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.
