We use industry standard 4mm corrugated plastic sheets, which is quality combed with a fine tooth inspection before printing. We offer WHITE sheets as standard.

The corrugated holes aka FLUTES are square shaped. It is easy to slide a metal wire stake into. They fit most 9 gauge metal wire stakes sold around the country, but are best used with our brand of metal wire-stakes

How many colors are we printing? Sign material color does not count towards print color.

Note: black is considered 1 color. Light green and dark green would be considered 2 different colors. To save you money and time, we may consolidate 2 similar colors by using halftones if the colors you paid for is less than the colors on your graphic. 

Please also note Full (4) color CMYK process jobs will have a slight color variation from your design. If color accuracy is critical, please purchase full color digital signs

Color Matching and Variations
UZ Marketing does not offer color matching on screen-printed or vinyl signs. We offer basic colors such as black, red, blue, green, orange and maroon. We do offer fairly precise color matching on full color or digital prints and often come close, but due to our ink mixing process, we CANNOT GUARANTEE color matching.

"Ships in xx Time" refers to providing a tracking number via UPS once your order has completed production. UZ Marketing has a UPS pickup truck come twice a week for Free Shipping (5-7 business days option). Paid shipping is taken to the UPS store daily. Please select the corresponding shipping option if you require a guaranteed in hands date. 

Our turnaround times refer solely to production. Once production is complete it may take up to one business day for orders to be available for pick-up. Local delivery orders will be delivered on the next scheduled delivery day (excluding the day of production). It is our goal to release all jobs as soon as completion of production allows. The last day of your turn-around is not a guaranteed "in hands" date.

Please note, if you select this option, you will still need to select the appropriate amount of colors that you want printed.

If you need us to match the color on your artwork file, please opt in for the color match service.

Selecting "No" will NOT mean another color will be substituted than your artwork; blues will print blue, reds will print red, etc. Please note that subjective combined colors like Teal may lean more blue or green than expected. Maroon may lean more purple or red than expected.

Is color accuracy important for you? This will be relevant for those who own franchise business with specific color requirements, or those who require the sign color to match the logo color. We mix the inks by hand to make the color you selected.

By selecting "Yes", we will use our pantone mixing system to select the pantone color(s) that closest matches your artwork

Typically, signs printed for "Bandit sign" purposes will not require color accuracy.

If "no" is selected on this option, we will use the closet stock color to your artwork. Please note that while we try to get as close to the provided art color as possible, there may be some color variation. If you require color accuracy, please select "yes".

Some of our basic inks are as follows. Please note, this is a visual reference guide only and color accuracy can ONLY be guaranteed if you select "yes" to color match:

Special note, if you select "Lemon Yellow", be aware that it must be contrasted using a darker color on white plastic. If you have yellow text on white plastic, it will not show up in outdoor lighting because it is light color on light plastic
