FAQ
Questions from sign makers
Do you sell to end customers?
No. SmileSign is a trade production partner: we manufacture for sign makers, sign companies and advertising agencies. You keep the relationship with your client and the design; we produce to your specification.
Which types of channel letters do you make?
We build 11 standard profiles in four groups: cut-out and non-illuminated letters (SML 1–2), back-lit halo letters (SML 3 and 3 EXCLUSIVE), front-lit channel letters (SML 4, 4 EXCLUSIVE, 5 ECO and 6) and acrylic or vacuum-formed letters (SML 7–9).
What do I need to specify when ordering?
Six things: application method, base material, return depth, RAL colour and finish, mounting option and lighting. The data sheet of each profile lists the available options.
Which files should I send?
Vector artwork – for example PDF, AI, EPS or DXF – together with letter heights, quantities, colours, lighting and installation details.
