HOW TO FILL OUT THE ORDER FORM
HOW TO CALCULATE LINE LENGTH
PLEASE FOLLOW ORDER FORM FORMAT WHEN ORDERING BY PHONE
MULTI LINE READINGS: For easy application of multi-linecopies. Please specify centered copy or left justified.
SPACE LIMIT: Maximum length of line. Beginning of first letter toend of last letter in line. If no space limit leave blank.
SLANT
CUT: Normal application, or reverse cut for behind glass.
CONFIGURATION: All capital, All lower case, Upper & Lower case.
MATERIAL: Check one.
COLOR: Codes listed on color chart.
SIZE: Size of letters in inches of capital letters
TYPESTYLE CODE: Listed in upper left corner of Typestyle Boxes in catalog.
QUANTITY OF COPIES: The number of times you wish to have your copies made.
Use this formula to calculate the width of a string of charactersand spaces. Length of your copy will help you determine heightof characters to fill your available space.
Quantity of letters, spaces and numbers multiplied by the letterheight desired, multiplied by the width ration will result in thetotal length of the copy. Width ratios for all typestyles are listedby each type sample starting on page 5.
Formula:Quantity of letters and spaces X letter height X width ratio =length in inches.
Example:The copy "Information Desk Located on Second Floor" cut in1-1/2" Helvetica Medium typestyle would be calculated as such:Number of capital letters = 5Number of spaces and lower case letters = 35Letter height = 1-1/2" (1.5)Width ratio of capital letters = .88Width ratio of lower case letters = .65Calculation:(5 x 1.5 x .88) + (35 x 1.5 x .65) = 40.725" total length, letter toletter
A NOTE ABOUT AVAILABLE SPACEAvailable space is not the size of the sign! Space limit is theavailable width you have for the copy. For instance, if youhave a sign that is 52" wide and you ordered letters with a totalline width (see above) of 52", the copy may extend to the veryedges of the sign. Order copy set in a size that will fill thespace available for the copy, not to the full width of the sign.
If an exact line width is required, please explain on the "SpecialInstructions" of the order form located on the inside back coverof this catalog.
Most often we can extend or condense lettering to meet yoursize limitations at no extra charge. Extending some typestylesover 30% may incur additional charge.
