I'm looking to replace some outdated lift signs and some that grew legs (?). I have Fallline, Stonehouse, World Cup Supply and Intr-Mountain. Are there others? I would very much prefer metal over poly. Thanks all

How many suppliers does you Purchasing Dept. require for their "spread sheet"?
I would think 4 would be sufficient.
Does anyone make metal signs anymore?

$0.02

Call your local construction traffic control company (construction barrels and cones) if they don't make them in house they can tell you who does.

Inter-Mountain still makes metal signs, and is also where we get them! Andoman - the codes (at least in Canada) define how the signs are made (letter sizes, pictograms, wording, etc) so it's easier (and more cost effective?) to get them done by people who already make them.

The construction signs are all custom so they have no problems with fonts, sizes, reflectorized, wood, metal, etc. In fact I wouldn't doubt it if Inter-Mountain has them manufactured by one of these construction sign companies. The federal codes (at least in the USA) on street signs are much more stringent than in your application. Just my two cents, I purchase a lot of them, thought I could help.

Oh yeah no problem, no disrespect intended... FYI - Inter-Mountain has their own sign shop in Kelowna.

Thanks all. After Googling, Yahooing and Binging (or whatever) Stonehouse signs is the cheapest here in the states. And, they make aluminum signs. Inter-Mountain does make a heavier sign but the shipping is a killer.
