We will try and stop by. We have dinner plans that evening so it might be later before we finish up. I'll shoot ya a text when we are done.

We plan on attending. Not 100% sure yet who all from the company will be going with us yet. As always, we'll join the party!

I'll be there walking the show as well. We have chosen not to exhibit this year at ISA.

Erik, I would love to attend this year. We are still deciding how many people we are going to bring from Excellart. Once we get a final count I'll be sure to let you know! Hope to see you and Kirstie before next April!

I agree, its been very busy around here. So much to do and just not enough time. Like Erik, I can't complain though. Its great to be busy, just wish I had more time for the lake

That's the easy part! Haha

Glad I could help ya out Mark! I'd be interested to see these when you get them finished.

I've seen this go in both directions actually. We have customers who have increased their business with us since they have had to layoff some of their more expensive employees in favor of keeping general labor employees. In this case, they have elected to use more extrusions, both full lengths and kits, when they can and only "custom build" cabinets as a last resort. On the other hand, I have spoke with customers who are doing the complete opposite. Instead of laying off their more expensive and skilled work force, they are letting go of their cheaper labor and holding onto the guys and gals who have been with them for a long time and who have become extremely skilled and valuable craftsman. Going this route, they completely eliminate extrusions from their business in favor of building custom cabinets to 1) keep their employees busy and 2) to differentiate themselves from competitors by only building one-off cabinets. Its a crazy environment right now and the economy is forcing people to take whatever means necessary to keep the lights on. I can see the advantages and disadvantages of both scenarios - neither one is an easy decision especially when it comes to laying off good, hard working people. There's no question that in many cases extrusions can save a company time and money without sacrificing quality. Many sign companies have grown accustomed to creating one-off style cabinets and their production & fabrication people may feel that their jobs will become invaluable if the company switches to extrusions...

Brian, at this time we do not have a solid solution for it. We have had customers use our extrusions for this exact kind of project, but currently we do not offer a ready-made solution for this. I'd be happy to send you out a sample so you could see if it would work for you. Just let me know and I'll get one out to ya.

Manuel, PM sent.

Manuel, we have Single Face and Double Face Top Hinged applications. S/F signs start at about 8" depth and move up to 10". D/F is 10 1/2" - 18". Forgot to add, we have Flex Face Hinged systems as well - S/F is 11" depth and D/F is 17" & 20" What size of cabinet are you looking for and what depth?

Congrats to both of you!

Uh oh... got in the act!

Thanks for the laughs, thoughts, and images Melissa! I understand what you're going through and have been or am going through the same things. It sounds like we need to get together for a drink some time and share some laughs. I can't stop picturing that damn ass out hug! It cracks me up just thinking about it! I hope you continue your good mood. Live for today because you never know what tomorrow will bring. I'll bring the margaritas you just tell me when and where!

Here's another video we just finished up! You all are the first to see it! Hopefully this will give you all a better idea of how our changeable copy systems work and why they are better than others. Give us a call or shoot me over an email for pricing options!
