Quarter Cheaper Signs

At Quarter Cheaper Signs, our production workflow is designed to deliver professional signage quickly while keeping pricing affordable for businesses of all sizes.

To maintain efficiency, all projects — regardless of size — require similar preparation and production steps.

1. Every Order Requires Production Setup

Even small orders involve:

  • file preparation
  • machine setup
  • material handling
  • printing calibration
  • cutting and finishing
  • quality control

Because production setup time remains similar, very small orders cannot always be completed immediately.

2. Minimum Production Scheduling

Orders with a total value below $50 are scheduled between larger commercial production jobs.

Typical turnaround time for small orders:

✅ 3–4 business days

This scheduling system allows us to maintain competitive pricing for all customers.

3. Why Small Orders May Cost More Per Item

Production equipment is optimized for batch manufacturing.

As a result:

  • larger quantities reduce cost per unit
  • smaller quantities require the same setup time
  • rush scheduling impacts ongoing production

This is standard practice across the printing and signage industry.

4. Faster Options Available

Customers who require faster completion may request:

✅ Priority Production
✅ Rush Production

Availability depends on daily production workload.

5. Combining Orders

Whenever possible, customers are encouraged to combine items into a single order.

This often results in:

✔ lower unit pricing
✔ faster scheduling
✔ improved production efficiency

6. Our Commitment

Our goal is to balance:

  • fast turnaround
  • fair pricing
  • consistent production quality

Efficient scheduling allows Quarter Cheaper Signs to remain both fast and Quarter Cheaper.

7. Acceptance of Policy

By placing an order, customers acknowledge understanding of minimum production scheduling and order efficiency requirements.

🔹 Minimum Order & Small Job Policy

To maintain fast turnaround times and consistent quality, all orders are subject to a minimum charge of $100.

Smaller jobs are still welcome, but may include a small job handling fee due to setup time, material preparation, and machine calibration.

We recommend combining multiple items into one order to get the best value.

🔹 Design Policy

Free design service is available for orders over $200.

For smaller projects, design work is billed separately.

🔹 Production Priority

Smaller orders are typically scheduled within standard production timelines (2–4 business days).
