Sign Company Add-Ons for a New Profit Channel

 A Lucrative Opportunity for Sign Companies in New Awning Lettering and Covering Over Old Awning Lettering

Have a plotter? Of course you do, at least one, right? Now you can add cut lettering for Awnings, Canopies, and Custom Event Tents by using LetterBank's Self-Adhesive AwnGrip Fabrics (formerly DuraStik). AwnGrip is a woven, thin fabric with a super-aggressive adhesive, allowing it to stick to and stay on flags, banners, awnings and most woven, flexible surfaces.


Sign-making can be a very competitive field, so staying ahead of the curve is essential for sign companies looking to broaden their income streams by offering new products.
