No minimum order for sign sizes in stock. Sizes other than these may be special ordered, with the prices being the same as the next larger standard size (minimum order 50 signs for other sizes). Our signs may be mounted in our frame-style stakes. Flat-plate style holders are also available, to which customers may attach their sign using whatever method works best for them (we don’t attach the signs to the flat-face holders).
All our holders have a 135° bend at the top. Sign holders are sold separately, or we can drill holes in the sign plates to the customer’s specification if desired. Our galvanized steel sign holders are far superior to aluminum stakes, which can corrode away in time. Our signs are made of heavy-duty 1/8″ thick laminated UV and weather-resistant plastic material.
Colors available are:
Black textured surface with white letters
White textured surface with black letters
Forest green glossy surface with white letters
Apple green matte surface with white letters
Red matte surface with white letters
50% of our customers order black signs with white text, 30% order forest green signs with white text, 10% order white signs with black text, 9% order apple green signs with white text, and 1% order the red sign plate with white letters.
As to the use of italics for the scientific names, about half of our customers order their signs with italics, and half prefer non-italicized text as a matter of personal preference. For security, holders may be set in concrete. See our picture section or our Facebook page for pictures of many of our different sign sizes, colors, and holder styles.
Due to the wide variation in tree trunk sizes and textures, we do not sell screws or springs for mounting signs without stakes on trees. These materials are best obtained locally and will vary considerably depending on your application. Signs are engraved to your specifications with your text on our computerized engraving machine, using the layout you desire.
Common items included on signs are genus, species, common name, family, and country of origin, or code number referenced to your brochure. Fonts are scalable, and text may be italicized where desired. See our brochure for a comparison of the 2 types of sign support stakes we offer.
Remember, our signs and the holders are sold separately.
