As everyone noticed with my chloroplast topic, I'm not very familiar with the hand lettering business! Thank you for your respectful answer Mr. Jackson.
More accuratly, I want to put down advertising signs on a rickshaw. The dimensions are 15 x 35 in and 15 x 10 in. What type of sign do you recommend me, if I want the material to be coroplast. As for the artwork, I could supply a computer file or a hardcopy.
Can you give me an idea of the price range I'm heading for?

Hi again,
This site was set up for us signmakers to ask questions and exchange ideas...but not necessarily as a sales and promotion tool. Not many end users find us here. I am sure there are a few readers who might be able to help you, and you might get some private email exchanges.
I suggest you break out your local phone book and check under the Signs category. There should be a hundred or so to choose from in a city as big as yours. You can contact a few local ones and probably get it fabricated right there without shipping fees or customs concerns. For most of us in the States, just filling out all the customs forms and shipping info at UPS can take longer than it took to do a simple coroplast job.
Good luck on your project!
