There are three parts to a SignHarbor sign:

• Size (Cardstock Size)

  The sign cardstock size determines the size (dimensions) of the finished sign. One sign per sheet is a "1UP". Two signs per sheet is a "2UP". Four signs per sheet is a "4UP". Nine signs per sheet is a "9UP".

  All SignHarbor signs use a standard 8.5in. X 11in. sheet of sign cardstock available from SignHarbor or other paper companies like Insignia Systems and The Paper Mill. The 8.5"x11" sheet of cardstock is perforated to create smaller "signs".

   

  Retail Sign Sizes - 7in. X 11in. (Retail 1UP); 5 1/2in. X 7 in. (Retail 2UP); 3 1/2in. X 5 1/2in. (Retail 4UP); 2 1/3in. X 3 2/3in. (Retail 9UP)

  These special retail sign sizes typically use a 7in. x 11in. cardstock sheet. SignHarbor provides cardstock with a 1 1/2in. tear away strip on a 8 1/2in X 11in. standard sheet size to let you easily feed the cardstock into your laser printer. You simply tear the strip away and put the signs into your POP (Point-of-Purchase) sign fixtures.

  Event signs use a standard 8 1/2in. X 11in. cardstock sheet and do not have the 1 1/2in. tear away strip.

Print Jobs allow you to group your signs into sets that make the most sense for your promotion or event. SignHarbor saves paper because you can print different templates on the same sheet of paper, only the cardstock size has to match.

There are two types of Print Jobs

Quick Print Job

There is only one Quick Print Job for each cardstock size. When you click the Add button and the Print Job List is set to Quick Print Job, SignHarbor automatically adds a copy of your Current Sign to the correct Quick Print Job.

Named Print Job

A Named Print Job (or just "Print Job") is a group of signs of the same cardstock size that you give a name, like "Bake Contest-Cookie Entries" or "Registration Table Signs".

You can create the Print Job first and then add signs OR add the Print Job when you create the first sign, whatever is easiest for you.

REMEMBER: A print job is cardstock size specific. This means you load only one type of sign cardstock for a print job.
