Time from order to in-hands depends on 2 options you may choose from; Production Time and Shipping

Production Time:

• Standard Production is 5-7 business days
• Hurry Production is 2-3 business days
• Rush Production is 1 business day
• Lightspeed Production is same business day and requires a call to confirm

* Production options are independent of Shipping options

* Business Day: Mon-Fri, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm Pacific

Shipping:

• We offer Standard shipping via USPS and UPS
• We offer Expedited shipping via USPS and UPS

*Shipping options vary in price and delivery time. (Sorry, we are not able to bill to a customer account).

Since we make all of our signs per order basis, we require a Production Time to produce your ADA Signs. After our Production Team has produced your sign is shipped out.

Let’s say you ordered your sign early Monday morning and chose our Free Standard Production Time (7 Business Days) and then did 2-day shipping.

Since your sign was ordered in the morning that will be the first day (Monday) of your 7 Business Days, 7 business days after Monday will be the following Tuesday (when production time is complete), and then it will take 2 days to ship, which will have your sign to you around Thursday (as long as there are no delays in shipping).

Production Time:

• Standard Production is 7 business days
• Hurry Production is 3 business days
• Rush Production is 1 business day
• Lightspeed Production is same business day and requires a call to confirm

Sign(s) may be returned within 10 days after delivery for a full refund or replacement if the reason is a result of our error (wrong text, color, or size, etc). To return an order that is incorrect, please contact us via email or phone call (888-586-7154).

We are sorry that your item(s) were received damaged and we are ready to help.

Yes, all of our signs, actually. By selected an expedited production option (Hurry – 3 business days, Rush – 1 business day or Lightspeed – same business day) and an expedited shipping option, you can have your ADA signage when you need it. Even the next business day.  Plus, we offer bulk discounts up to 20% off and free shipping on all orders over $75.00.

Yes we do, glad you asked!

Thanks to our state of the art equipment, we can make ADA and non-ADA signage using our DCS 7200z and our Trotec Speedy 400 laser engraver. Colors, textures, shapes… contact us with your custom specs or speak with us about your ideas and we’ll do our best to find you the fastest, most economical solution!

Color Options are almost limitless – but there are some rules!

Our Standard Colors give you 20 options, with either White or Black copy/pictograms depending on the contrast.

Our Custom Colors give a total of 42 colors plus clear, and you can choose the copy/pictogram color (remember those rules…). With our DCS 7200z printer, we can print custom colors if given CMYK or PMS color values.

We will soon be offering additional collections for your color needs!

No, we can color approximate a specific/existing color to your PMS color request. We are able to get an approximate match to the color.

PMS color matching requires a specific type of PMS printer along with that PMS color as an ink. Our DCS printers use a CMYK color process which is mixing together C + M + Y + K to receive a certain color.

Since our goal at Alpha Dog ADA Signs is to make sure you understand how our processes for colors/printing works we thought it would be great to describe to you in What Does PMS Color Match Mean and What is the Process?

Yes, view our ADA Color Contrast Guide courtesy from Rowmark.

Our Standard font is Myriad Pro, but we also offer Arial and Futura as font choices for our ADA Compliant Signs. Custom fonts should meet those ADA Standards for Accessible Design: “703.2.3 Style. Characters shall be sans serif. Characters shall not be italic, oblique, script, highly decorative, or of other unusual forms.” Have a custom font? Send it to us!

Yes, custom shapes can be used to enhance or relate to your branding with your custom signs. ADA signs still have to follow certain rules, but possibilities are endless. Check out our Portfolio of ADA signage to get inspired.

I am glad you asked!

Yes, you can use your logo to enhance your ADA signs. Your logo can be placed in a variety of places which allows you to have the look and feel you want. Keep in mind, if you decided to incorporate your logo behind the raised braille it will need to still meet ADA contrast requirements.

See some examples from our recent blog post, Custom ADA Signs: Add Some Bling, Logo Edition!

Yes, you can use layering to add depth and even texture to your ADA signage.

Learn more about textures from our blog post Custom ADA Signs: Add Some Bling, Texture Edition!

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that all permanent rooms & spaces with public access should be accessible to people with disabilities (you can read more about Braille signs here). At a minimum, signs need to be readable, and it’s very possible they will be required to comply with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Local building codes may have additional requirements, so always check with your local authorities before ordering.

Yes, in addition to our blog posts we have exclusive downloadable content crafted by our Alpha Dog ADA Signs Team Members.

• Your Handy ADA Exit Door Signage Checklist | PDF
• When Do ADA Signs Need Braille? | Blog

Yes, you can download/view online our ADA Floor Plan & Checklist as a starting point to ADA signs which are typically required in a project. Remember, always check with your State and local codes for any variances.

Yes, we have a variety of Lactation Room signs to fit your needs.

Did you know… Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to provide a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk. California and many other states have related lactation room laws, as well as the FAA, which requires lactation rooms in large and medium-sized airports.

Learn more about the updated law at our California Updates Workplace Lactation Room Requirements blog post.
