In 2009, 85% of our sign orders shipped in under 5 days. 99% of sign orders shipped in 10 days or less.

  If you need signs even faster, Dee also offers Rush service. For an added 15% of the order value, we guarantee
to ship your catalog sign order in 8 working days, or we will refund not only the rush fee, but also 5% of the order
value for each day we are late.

Many people pay up to twice as much as the Dee Sign price to buy from a small local shop when they are in a hurry.
Next time, call Dee instead!

1. We work on a Mac platform and would ideally like to have Adobe Illustrator based files. We prefer vectorized
artwork to create signs (spot color) unless there is a halftone or photo on the panels.

2. ALWAYS convert text over to paths, but if the styles are somewhat unusual, we will need you to name the style,
and/or include the font with the artwork. Especially if there are multiple names or other information changes.

3. We can accept vector files (text converted to outlines, paths or curves) from Adobe Illustrator as an .eps
file or EXPORTED from Corel as an Adobe Illustrator file or .eps file.

4. If sending files by e-mail, please save as an editable .eps file. If mailing a disk we can use an Adobe Illustrator
file. Also, please remember not to embed anything within the artwork; leaving editing capabilities enabled.

5. If you have already created artwork in Photoshop, or another raster-based application, we can accept .jpg, .eps,
.tif, or .gif files, but please be sure that there is enough resolution on the image, at least 150ppi at actual size.
*Web graphics are very rarely of sufficient quality for us to download and use for signage.

6. If you have a linked file (a logo or photo, for example) please call us at 1.800.333.7446 or email
us at [email protected] to get more information on output.

7. If you are a designer, please indicate the company, address and phone number for which you are providing
artwork. Please let us know if we should call them or wait for them to contact us.

8. If you have spoken with someone in our Customer Service Department please include the contact name
so we can make sure they receive all documentation.

  The color images are printed digitally on adhesive backed vinyl and overlaminated to protect against scratching. Click here for a spec sheet, which details how to email or mail us your artwork in a format that we can access. Once we receive your image artwork, we may need to contact you since some color or layout situations can require screen printing entirely. Upon contacting you, one of our dedicated artist’s will recommend the best overall combination of colors, material and pricing. Please contact us at [email protected] or call 1-800-DEE-SIGN if you have further questions.

  The color photos are printed digitally on adhesive backed vinyl and overlaminated to protect against scratching. This 4 color process eliminates variance of color often unavoidable with screen printed photos. If you are emailing a digital picture file, the size should be 4.5" wide by 5.5" high for 6" x 24" riders. Or 5.5" wide by 7.375" high for 8" x 24" riders with a resolution of at least 150 dpi.
