Cut Labor Costs in Sign Production: 7 Reasons to Let Grimco Handle Your Traffic Signs

Written by Kiera Consulo | Sep 18, 2025 9:48:23 PM

Let’s face it—labor is the biggest expense in sign production. From sheeting and vinyl lettering to fabrication, every extra hour your team spends on prep work is time pulled away from the jobs that actually make you money.

That’s where Grimco comes in. Our state-of-the-art facilities are built for aluminum processing and sign finishing, so you can keep your crew focused on the projects that matter most.

 

Here are 7 Reasons Why Letting Grimco Handle Your Blanks and Signs Just Makes Sense:

1. Reduce Labor Costs & Free Up Time for Profitable Sign Work

2. Eliminate Dead Stock with Wholesale Reflective Sign Materials

3. Save Time on Vinyl Lettering, Sheeting & Sign Trimming

4. 3M™ Approved Wholesale Sign Manufacturing Quality

5. Wholesale Sign Blanks & Materials for the Sign Industry Only

6. Lower Sign Production Costs with Wholesale Manufacturing

7. Custom Signs, MUTCD Signs & Complete Sign Production Solutions

 

1. Reduce Labor Costs & Free Up Time for Profitable Sign Work

Your team’s time is valuable. Free them up for installations, custom work, and growing your business, while we handle the production side.

Hours and cost savings per project when ordering from Grimco. That's time and resources your team can spend on:

  • Custom fabrication
  • Installations
  • Sales calls
  • Higher-margin projects

 

2. Eliminate Dead Stock with Wholesale Reflective Sign Materials

Reflective material rolls are expensive and usually sold in 50-yard minimums. Don’t let cash sit in unused inventory—order what you need, when you need it, and keep your budget flexible.

 

3. Save Time on Vinyl Lettering, Sheeting & Sign Trimming

Sheeting and trimming eat up hours of your production schedule. Our skilled team—backed by decades of hands-on experience—takes care of the repetitive work, so you can stay focused on higher-value projects. See our Reflective Sheeted Blank options to help save on time.

 

4. 3M™ Approved Wholesale Sign Manufacturing Quality

When it comes to quality, we’ve got you covered. Grimco is proud to be the largest 3M™ approved manufacturer and distributor in North America. That means we’re working with 3M™ MCS certified equipment and screen print inks, ensuring they meet DOT standards giving you peace of mind with every project. Whether we’re screen printing or digitally printing on wide format equipment with 3M’s High Intensity Prismatic Sheeting and 1170 laminate, you’ll get signs that are fully compliant and built to last with a 10-year warranty.

 

5. Wholesale Sign Blanks & Materials for the Sign Industry Only

We don't sell to end users. We are wholesale to the sign industry only!  In order to be a Grimco customer our customers must have sign making equipment. We are your ally, not your competitor.

 

6. Lower Sign Production Costs with Wholesale Manufacturing

Most jobs cost less through Grimco than what you'd spend on materials alone, and that's before you even factor in labor savings. Plus, when signs show up finished and ready to go, you're not tying up your shop time or worrying about whether you have the right materials in stock.

 

7. Custom Signs, MUTCD Signs & Complete Sign Production Solutions
