Our banners are printed on Eco-solvent printers at 360 - 720 dpi.
Eco-solvent inks have their colors suspended in a mild biodegradable solvent, which means that the ink has virtually no odor as they don’t contain as many volatile organic compounds.
The lack of smell is a real plus for banners which will be displayed or used indoors.
Our banners are printed on heavyweight 11 oz. scrim matte vinyl. All banners are hemmed. Grommets are included for to allow easy hanging on all banners except where noted otherwise
Though designed for indoor shop display our banners are waterproof & weather proof.
Generally our Banners last two to three years outdoors
Absolutely! Whether it's a modification to an existing design or a personalized design we'll do our best to meet your needs.
Dependent on the degree of customization additional cost may be involved.  Please contact us  with your specific requirements, we'd be happy to discuss them.
About Our Reproduction Dealer License Plate Frames
Here are some answers to questions we've received in the past regarding our Retro License Plate Frames. If we can answer any other questions please contact us and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible
The inserts do not use "raised" lettering. Inserts are not engraved . Inserts are printed on flat aluminum inserts using UV resistant ink.
We currently offer 2 types of frames. Both are of the 2 mounting hole variety. Both styles are double panel allowing for 2 inserts, one long and tall and the other shorter and narrower.
As a rule the shorter /narrow insert is used for the dealership location and the larger is used for the dealership name.
Both "STANDARD TOP" and "NARROW TOP"Â frames are available dependent on the style used by the original dealership frame. "STANDARD TOP" frames are available with either "smooth" or "checkered" corners.
All frames are durable chrome-plated zinc alloy. We do not use less expensive "chromed" plastic frames.
Please check your local Department of Motor Vehicle laws to verify the legality of installing license plate frames on vehicles used on public roads. Laws vary by state.
Grease Pit Graphics License Plate frames are designed for off-road and show car use.
Of course! Our collection of reproduction license plate frames is growing but there is no way we could possibly have every frame you could possible imagine. We’re good but not that good!
If you are looking to have a recreation done of a vintage frame we’d love to help. If photos of the vintage frame you’re interested in are available we can create artwork from the original.
Not all dealerships used promotional frames way back when so an original may not be available. In cases like this we will create artwork based on available dealer promotional material or vintage newspaper advertisements. If these items are not available we will base the artwork on other frames of a similar vintage and locale to create a period correct dealership frame .
Custom frames can be ordered here.
A Custom license plate frame allows you to create a frame with the text and colors of your choice. We've created a number of "vintage" style typefaces /fonts for you to select from for your custom frame that allows us to create the artwork needed quickly which keeps the cost down.
For a Replica license plate frame we create custom artwork based on a photo of an existing vintage frame. There are no typefaces / fonts used. The text on a replica license plate frame is part of the custom artwork. This artwork requires additional time to create and this is reflected in the price.
After an order is received for a Replica frame we create an artwork "proof" which is emailed to you for approval. This will be supplied to you in 48-72 hours. Upon your approval we create the final artwork to be printed on the inserts.
The artwork will then be printed on aluminum inserts and the frames assembled and shipped to you.
