Answers,
before you ask.
Everything customers most often want to know about our banners, signs, decals, printing and installs.
General & Ordering
Nothing matched that. Try a simpler word — or just send us the question and a real person will answer it.
Email, call, text, or stop by the shop. Send us your artwork and the size you need, and we’ll confirm pricing and a production timeline before anything goes to print. You can also start online through our Get a Quote page.
Turnaround depends on the product, quantity, material, and our current workload. Typical turnaround is ___FILL IN___ business days after artwork approval. Rush service may be available — ask when you order.
On some items, yes — step & repeat banners, simple vinyl banners, and copy/print jobs are often the quickest. Rush availability depends on the day’s schedule and may carry a rush fee of ___FILL IN___. Call before you come in so we can check the queue.
We’re at 1839 S. King St., Honolulu, HI 96826 — on Oahu between downtown Honolulu and Waikiki, near the Hawaii Convention Center and Ala Moana Center. There is plenty of FREE PARKING in our lot.
Monday–Friday: 8:30am – 5:00pm
Saturday & Sunday: Closed
Yes. We’ve served Hawaii and many Pacific Islands for over 30 years. Shipping and local delivery options vary by product size and destination — contact us for rates. Local pickup at our King Street shop is always free.
We accept ___FILL IN___. A deposit of ___FILL IN___ may be required on custom fabrication and installation jobs.
Most products have no minimum — we’ll print one banner or one sticker. A few items (business cards, NCR forms, some apparel transfers) have minimum quantities. Larger quantities almost always lower your per-piece price, so ask us for tier pricing.
Usually yes. We keep production files on record, so give us your business name and roughly when you ordered and we’ll pull it up. Reorders skip the design step, so they typically turn around faster.
We accept a wide variety of files. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the sharpest results at large sizes. High-resolution JPG, PNG, TIFF, and PSD files also work well. If you’re not sure your file is print-ready, send it over — we’ll check it before we quote.
Yes. Our in-house design team can build your artwork from scratch or clean up what you already have. Design is billed at ___FILL IN___. Send your project details and we’ll scope it for you.
Send it! Even a screenshot of something you liked helps — and tell us why you liked it: the colors, the simplicity, the layout. That gets us on the right page from the start instead of guessing.
For large-format work, build files at full size and at least 100–150 DPI, or supply vector art. For small print like business cards, 300 DPI at final size. Low-resolution web images and logos pulled off a website often look pixelated when enlarged — we’ll flag it if we see a problem.
Yes — we provide a digital proof for approval on custom work. Please review spelling, phone numbers, dates, and dimensions carefully. Once you approve the proof, production begins and the file is considered final.
Not exactly. We print in CMYK, and every monitor displays color differently. Fabric products (table covers, tents, flags) can vary even further because of the material itself. If you need a specific color matched, provide a PANTONE® reference before production. Exact color matches are not guaranteed.
We’ll get as close as we can, and having the original file or a PANTONE® number helps a lot. Keep in mind that older printed pieces fade over time, so a brand-new print may look brighter than the piece it’s sitting next to.
Our standard is a waterproof 13oz vinyl banner — durable and great for indoor or outdoor use. We also offer polyester fabric banners, lightweight 110g polyester for one-time events, and mesh banners for windy locations or fence installs.
Banners are made to order at virtually any size. Common sizes are 2'x4', 3'x6', 4'x8', and 3'x10', but we cut to your dimensions. Maximum single-piece width is ___FILL IN___; larger pieces can be seamed.
Standard finishing includes hemmed edges and grommets. We also offer pole pockets (top and bottom — standard on street pole banners), reinforced corners, and hanging trapeze bars in 24″ and 36″. Tell us how you’re hanging it and we’ll recommend the right finish.
13oz vinyl is waterproof, but banners are temporary signage. Strong wind, sun, and weather will eventually cause fading, tearing, or stress at the grommets. Take banners down during severe weather. For windy spots, mesh banners let air pass through and hold up better.
Retractable banner stands roll into their own base — the most popular choice for trade shows and lobbies. X-style stands are the lightest and most budget-friendly. Tension fabric displays use a fabric graphic stretched over a frame, available in 3'x7.5', 8'x8', and 8'x10' — lightweight and quick to set up.
All three are indoor use only.
Yes — vinyl waterproof backdrops with your choice of grommet or pole pocket finish. Ask about same-day availability if you’re on a tight event deadline. Step & repeat banners and stands are intended for indoor use.
We print feather flags, teardrop flags, and rectangular flags; customizable canopy tents with optional walls (10'x10', 10'x15', and 10'x20'); branded umbrellas; and table throws in draped, fitted, and stretch styles.
These are all fabric products — see the color-variation note under Design & Artwork.
Yes, we can install them for you. Street pole banners are made with top and bottom pole pockets. Contact us for hardware options and installation pricing — permission from the pole owner or the city may be required.
Coroplast (corrugated plastic — economical, great for yard and event signs), PVC, aluminum, acrylic, gatorboard, and foam core. We also do engraved signs, magnetic signs, and dry erase products.
Aluminum and PVC are the best long-term outdoor choices. Coroplast works outdoors but is meant to be temporary. Foam core and gatorboard are indoor-only — they warp and delaminate in Hawaii’s humidity and rain. Tell us where the sign is going and we’ll match the material to the job.
Yes — illuminated channel letters, light box and backlit displays, LED slim light boxes, and LED neon signs. These are custom-fabricated; lead times are longer and electrical work or permits may be required. Contact us to start a quote.
Cut letters and logos mounted directly to a wall or storefront for a raised, three-dimensional look. Available in acrylic, PVC, and metal finishes. A popular non-illuminated option for lobbies, reception walls, and building exteriors.
Yes — A-frame/sidewalk signs, real estate signs with stands and posts, property and parking signs, traffic signs and supplies, and directory sign boards. We stock frames and hardware as well as the printed faces.
___FILL IN___ — confirm whether you offer ADA/braille signage and any restrictions before publishing.
Yes. Sign frames, stands, posts, standoffs, and A-frame bases are all available — and we’ll make sure the printed panel is sized correctly for the frame you choose.
Custom vinyl stickers in rectangle, circle, and full die-cut shapes; bumper stickers; floor decals; wall graphics and lettering; static clings; frosted glass vinyl; perforated window decals; peel-and-place film; and anti-vandalism decals.
A printed vinyl with tiny holes throughout. From outside, people see your full graphic; from inside, you can still see out. Perfect for storefront windows and vehicle rear glass.
Note: UV laminate is not normally applied to perforated vinyl because it cuts down inside visibility — so perforated graphics tend to fade faster than laminated ones. No warranty is provided on perforated window graphics.
Frosted (etched glass) vinyl is an adhesive film that mimics sandblasted glass — great for privacy on conference rooms and entry doors. Static clings use no adhesive at all; they stick by static and peel off cleanly, which makes them ideal for temporary promos and seasonal window displays.
Yes — full wraps, partial wraps, and simple lettering and decals. We handle cars, cargo vans, work vans, trucks, buses, trailers, motorcycles, food trucks, taxi/tour/USDOT lettering, and drydocked boats. We use high-performance vinyl that resists fading and cracking.
Hand washing is recommended for all vehicle graphics and decals. UV lamination extends the life of the print but doesn’t stop fading or wear. Over time and with sun exposure, printed vinyl may lift, shrink, or fade. Removal can leave residue, shadowing, or paint variation. No warranty is provided on vehicle graphics, decals, or stickers.
Yes for anything beyond simple lettering — the vehicle needs to be clean, dry, and in our shop for installation. Plan on roughly ___FILL IN___ depending on coverage. We’ll confirm the schedule when you book.
Wall vinyl adheres best to smooth, flat surfaces painted with fully cured water-based paint. Textured walls, oil-based and enamel paints, and specialty coatings can affect both adhesion and appearance. Sample decals are available for testing before you order — we recommend it. Signs Today is not responsible for adhesion failure or paint/wall/surface damage from installation or removal, and no warranty is provided.
Only on compatible metal surfaces with a clean, flat mounting area — many newer vehicles have plastic or aluminum panels that magnets won’t hold. Remove and clean magnets regularly. Improper installation, storage, heat, wind, or road conditions can cause them to shift, warp, or fly off. No warranty is provided, and we’re not responsible for lost or damaged magnets.
Full color or black & white, with uncoated matte, glossy, and plastic finishes — plus more specialty stocks. Standard size is ___FILL IN___; custom sizes may also be available.
Yes — rounded corners are available as an added finishing option, along with a range of specialty finishes. Contact us for current options and pricing.
Flyers, trifold brochures, posters, envelopes, NCR carbonless forms, ID cards, door hangers, name badges, and general copy and print work. We also offer binding and folding, lamination, and UV flatbed printing onto rigid materials.
It prints ink directly onto a rigid surface — acrylic, PVC, aluminum, wood, and more — and cures it instantly with UV light. No vinyl overlay needed, which means sharper detail and a cleaner finish on hard substrates.
We laminate from small documents up to ___FILL IN___ wide. Both gloss and matte finishes are available. Bring your item in or send it with your print order.
Yes — electrical plates, name tags, wooden signs, and wooden coasters, plus custom engraved signage. Great for offices, gifts, and awards.
DTF (direct-to-film) transfers press full-color designs onto fabric. We do custom t-shirts, sweatshirts, trucker hats, canvas bags, and more. DTF works best on compatible cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics.
Yes — but customer-supplied garments are processed at the customer’s risk. Some materials scorch or melt under heat. Please bring 2–3 extra pieces so we can test first. Signs Today is not responsible for damage during pressing, and no warranty is provided.
Yes, we sell transfers on their own. If you or a third party applies them, all responsibility for the application and the result rests with you. Follow the recommended time, temperature, and pressure carefully.
Minimum for DTF transfers is ___FILL IN___. Per-piece pricing drops significantly at higher quantities — ask us for a tier breakdown before you commit.
Turn the garment inside out, wash cold on a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and don’t iron directly over the transfer.
Yes, installation is available depending on the type, size, and location of the sign. We install storefront signage, dimensional letters, wall graphics, window vinyl, street pole banners, and more. Contact us with the site details for an installation quote.
Not unless it’s specifically contracted in writing. Permits, permit applications, approvals, zoning, and code compliance are the customer’s responsibility. The customer assumes full responsibility for any notices, violations, penalties, fines, or removal orders issued by the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) or any other agency.
Any costs to modify, relocate, remove, replace, or reinstall signage required by a property owner, landlord, DPP, or other authority are the customer’s responsibility. No warranty is provided regarding permit approval, code compliance, or continued approval of installed signage.
No. Removal is not included in the original fabrication or installation price and is billed separately at our current labor and service rates.
___FILL IN___ — note neighbor-island or Pacific Island install availability and any travel charges.
Please read these before placing your order. They cover the real-world limits of each material and what is and isn’t covered.
Wall vinyl adheres best to smooth, flat surfaces painted with fully cured water-based paints. Textured walls, oil-based paints, enamel paints, and specialty coatings may affect adhesion and appearance. Sample decals are available for testing prior to ordering. Signs Today is not responsible for adhesion failure, paint damage, wall damage, or surface damage caused by installation or removal. No warranty is provided.
Hand washing is recommended for all vehicle graphics and decals. UV lamination helps extend the life of printed graphics but does not prevent fading or wear. Printed vinyl may experience lifting, shrinkage, or fading over time depending on environmental exposure. Removal of decals may leave residue, shadowing, or paint variations. No warranty is provided on vehicle graphics, decals, or stickers.
UV laminate is not typically applied to perforated window vinyl because it can reduce visibility from the inside. As a result, perforated graphics may fade or wear more quickly than laminated graphics. No warranty is provided on perforated window graphics.
Banners are intended as temporary signage. Strong winds, weather exposure, improper installation, and normal wear may cause tearing or damage. Customers should remove banners during severe weather conditions. Fading will naturally occur over time, especially with prolonged sun exposure. No warranty is provided on banners or banner hardware.
DTF transfers work best on compatible cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics. Some materials may be damaged by heat during application. We recommend providing 2–3 extra fabric pieces for testing. Customer-supplied garments are processed at the customer’s risk, and Signs Today is not responsible for damage caused during pressing. If transfers are applied by the customer or a third party, all responsibility for application and results rests with the customer. No warranty is provided.
Vehicle magnets adhere only to compatible metal surfaces and require a clean, flat mounting area. Improper installation, storage, vehicle conditions, heat exposure, wind, or road conditions may cause magnets to shift, warp, or detach. Customers are responsible for proper use and maintenance. No warranty is provided, and Signs Today is not responsible for lost or damaged magnets.
Retractable banner stands are intended for indoor use only. Damage caused by improper handling, forceful retraction, transportation, accidents, normal wear and tear, or outdoor use is not covered. No warranty is provided on banner graphics or hardware.
Step and Repeat banners and stands, and straight tension fabric displays, are intended for indoor use. Damage caused by outdoor use, including wind or weather conditions, is not covered. No warranty is provided for damage resulting from misuse, improper handling, or exposure to outdoor elements.
UV lamination provides an added layer of protection against minor fading and surface wear. However, all printed graphics will naturally fade and deteriorate over time. The rate of fading depends on environmental conditions and exposure. No warranty is provided on laminated or printed products.
Colors are printed in CMYK and may vary from digital proofs, computer screens, and previous printed materials. Fabric products may display additional color variation due to material characteristics. Please provide PANTONE® color references before production if specific color matching is required. Exact color matches are not guaranteed.
At the customer’s request, we can fabricate and/or install signage. Unless specifically contracted in writing to obtain permits, permit applications, approvals, zoning compliance, and code compliance are the sole responsibility of the customer. The customer assumes full responsibility for any notices, violations, penalties, fines, removal orders, or other actions issued by the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) or any other governmental agency. Any costs associated with modifications, relocation, removal, replacement, or reinstallation of signage required by a property owner, landlord, DPP, or other authority shall be the responsibility of the customer. Sign removal is not included in the original fabrication or installation price and will be billed separately at our current labor and service rates. No warranty is provided regarding permit approval, code compliance, or continued approval of installed signage.
