Print is produced to the dimensions you specify. If those dimensions change after the order is placed—because the install space was not final or the sign location changed—the product may not fit.
Why it happens
Pressure to lock a quote or meet a date can lead to ordering before the site is measured or the design is finalized. Once we cut or print to a size, changing it usually means a new job and a new charge.
Consequences
Wrong size can mean unusable product, rework, or a full reprint. For large-format or installed work, the cost of a wrong size is high. For small-format, it is still wasted time and money.
Before you order
- Confirm final dimensions at the install or use location.
- Approximate measurements are fine for an initial estimate; confirm final dimensions before production.
- If the space might change, say so—we can sometimes build in flexibility.
Common mistake
Ordering from "about 24 inches" or "same as last time" without verifying. Last time may have been wrong; approximate sizes are not production specs.
