Reusability

Signs should be reusable unless someone does something to destroy them.

SCOTCH TAPE DESTROYS THE 20X30 SIGNS. Other tapes aren't as bad but need to be used minimally. Gaffer tape seems like it might be the best tape to use. Painters tape seems to be the best alternative but has also damaged signs - not as bad as that clear tape, though.

Types of Signs

Sign types are chosed based on how we use the sign and its location. We tend to use the cheaper $30 costco signs the most, but will also occasionally upgrade to something more durable.

• 20x30 signs are ordered at Costco and are essentially image posters. They are sturdy but do not hold up well to tape or liquids. $30
• Standing Banners $60-90+
• Standing backdrops $160-200+
• Handmade $1

Handmade / Last-Minute signs

We have blank 20x30 dollar-store foam-core boards and markers available for last-minute signage needs. Go at it.

Handmade signs CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED IN THE HALLWAYS OR ANY PUBLIC SPACE. They can be used inside badge-controlled areas only. If you need a last-minute sign for a public place, Beta, Sammich, Sam, or someone with access to design software and the costco site will need to design and order the sign. Then someone with a costco membership needs to go to costco and pay for it and pick it up. Costco signs are usually available in 2-3 hours.
