anyone know someone that can help me get about 3 of these made? Not sure of the size yet.

But must be outdoor type with OpFTH logo on it.

Willing to trade sticks, cash, or both for it.

- One to be sent to Iraq and rotated for pictures and signitures there (what a cool itea huh? )

- One for a outdoor fence at a BBQ resturant 🙂

- One extra for events or just incase the Troops one gets destroyed or lost

I think 3x4 feet? or bigger?

open for suggestions from someone that know or makes these.

THANKS!

What kind of material are you wanting to use? I can do paper real easy. Not sure about tarp type stuff.

Spoke to soon. About the best I could do would be on 3M opaque vinyl which would still have to be laminated for outdoor use.

I'll ask around tho.

Just got in touch with my contact at the local shop.

2x4 with 3 colors $100

3x6 with 3 colors $115

4x8 with 3 colors $235

all of these are heavy duty grade vinyl and would be printed only on one side

3m vinyl might be good. by outdoor i dont mean WEATHER RESISTANT (except maybe the one for Todd and BBQ).

right?

would that 3m one be ok and stand up for a troop to open , sign and photo and sent back?

paper would make one trip and be done i think

Those prices aren't bad.

Does that include reinforced edges, corners and grommets?

Schmitty,

Regular vinyl has a tendancy that once it starts to tear, it keeps tearing. Also, if it's rigid vinyl it's going to be subject to discoloration and permanent deformation at any folds, creases, crinkles and dimples.

Expect anything that gets sent to the sandbox to get beaten around.

IMHO, for what you are trying to do with these, you might be best getting all of them weather resistant. Something similar to the large fiberglass reinforced vinyl beer company /radio station outdoor banners; I forget the exact material name, the ones that resemble very heavy vinyl tarp material.

Schmitty-

I'll locate a small piece of this media and give it a trial run. I inagine it's fairly tough but I doubt you could put grommets in it and hang it in the wind for very long. Do you have a tif of the logo?

Todd's prices are pretty standard. Looks to be about what we pay for sponsor banners as well.

If you have a jpeg of logo and anything else you want on it I can get an actual quote, if you like.

Todd give me until Friday to see what I can find out. I am going to be gone all day tomorrow and no answer at graphics place.

I assume it would be poor form to have the banner manufactures logo and info on bottom for reduced price, but could be an option.

Get prices both ways.

Prefer to not have manufacture logo on the small banners as they will be sent to the Units for pictures and be signed by each unit that is pictured with it.

The large banner is being planned for the BBQ Herf/OpFTH Fundraiser I am planning for later this year

And once we find out a total cost for these items be on the lookout for another "General" jambalaya bomb for $$ thread to raise the $$ to cover the costs of printing the banners.
