Why Finalizing the Details Before Production Matters
In the world of custom signs, prints, decals, and vinyl installations, creativity drives the vision—but clarity drives the outcome.
At The Vinyl Edge, we know how exciting it is to see your ideas come to life. Whether you're ordering a coroplast sign for an event, printing new graphics for your storefront, or wrapping a vehicle with a bold design, there’s one step that’s absolutely essential before production begins: discussing the details. All of them.
Here’s why it matters.
Every Detail Plays a Role
Custom work isn’t one-size-fits-all. From material selection to sizing, finishes, colours, and installation needs—every decision affects the final product.
By going over all aspects of your project before we send it to print or cut, we can:
Ensure your design fits the intended space
Confirm material suitability (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor, glossy vs. matte)
Catch any layout issues or typos
Avoid last-minute surprises that lead to extra costs or delay
Measurements, File Setup & Real-World Fit
In design, what looks good on screen doesn’t always translate perfectly in real life. That’s why we review:
Artwork dimensions and resolution
Bleed and cut lines
Surface types and mounting conditions (especially for rigid signs or wall installs)
Orientation and visibility (like how readable a sign will be from a distance)
Even a few centimeters can make or break the final result—so we triple-check, and we invite you to do the same.
Changing Mid-Production Can Get Costly
Once a file goes into production—especially for large-scale or multi-material jobs—changes become more difficult. A missing phone number, outdated logo, or wrong date on a sign can’t always be patched up post-print.
That’s why we push for clear approvals and sign-offs before we hit "go." It protects your investment, and ensures you're thrilled with the finished product.
Timelines Depend on Preparation
Every project we take on is scheduled for printing, cutting, prepping, and (when needed) installation. When all the details are confirmed early, it keeps your timeline on track and ensures your signage is ready exactly when you need it.
It’s a Collaboration
We don’t just press print—we partner with you to make your idea real. Whether you’re a first-time customer or a seasoned designer, we’re here to ask the right questions, offer guidance, and suggest materials or tweaks that will get the best result.
So before we dive into production, let’s have the conversation. We’ll make sure everything’s dialed in—from colours to corners—so what you get is what you envisioned.
