    Does anyone here know an online store that can make plastic signs cheaply. By plastic signs I mean pieces of acrylic approximately 300x150mm with my company logo printed on. I need 3 and they need to be weatherproof. The local sign shop want £150 which I think is a lot of money for 3 bits of plastic and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get it done cheaper, or even better if anyone with appropriate equipment would do it for me on the cheap.

    I used to work at a sign shop. Usually, the signs are vinyl cut out on a plotter and then applied to the material. At the one I worked at you could get just the layout still on the backing covered with half-tac masking tape and you could apply it yourself. We called it RTA (ready to apply). Since all we had to do is process the lettering, and none of the labor of making the sign or materials, we usually charged a minimum fee. You may want to check into something like that and save a ton. Just an idea
