The ADA sign rules for parking and drop off areas in Los Angeles can be quite confusing for the layperson to understand. The regulations are packed full of legalese that have lead many frustrated business owners to just give up on the whole idea of being ADA compliant. However, with the potential lawsuits and lost business, this can be a costly mistake. To help you understand the rules, we have put together this simple guide.

Marking Parking Spots

People with disabilities should be able to arrive at a building, approach it, and enter it just as easily as everyone else. There must be at least one route of travel that is accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. According to the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, some of the requirements for identifying accessible parking spaces are

• A reflectorized sign must be used to mark each parking space reserved for people with disabilities. This sign must be posted on a permanent basis in a spot that is visible from or adjacent to each space or stall. The sign must consist of the International Symbol of Accessibility in white on a dark blue background. The sign must be at least 70 square inches and be placed at a minimum height of 80 inches.
• At the interior end of the parking space, signs identifying accessible parking space can be centered on a wall. Additional language or an additional sign that says “Minimum Fine $250” should be below the accessibility symbol.
• Also below the symbol of accessibility, an additional signs that says “Van Accessible” should be added to van accessible parking spots. Once a vehicle is parked in a space, the sign should still be readable, so it should be placed accordingly.
• At each entrance to off street parking facilities, a sign stating the following must be conspicuously placed: "Unauthorized vehicles parked in designated accessible spaces not displaying distinguishing placards or special license plates issued for persons with disabilities will be towed away at owner's expense. Towed vehicles may be reclaimed at____________ or by Telephoning_____________."

Drop-Off Area Signs

For drop-off areas, the majority of regulations have to do with how much space is provided for loading and unloading. There are also specific regulations for ramps. The signage requirements are focused on helping those with disabilities find their way to accessible entrances. For example, all inaccessible entrances must have signs that indicate where the closest accessible entrance is.

All of the requirements for ADA signage are beyond what one can fit into a blog entry, but hopefully, this gives you an idea of what type of requirements there are. To ensure you get all of the right ADA signs, Los Angeles business owners should consult with a commercial signage company. They will have the experience needed to make certain you are up to code.

The Sign Studio works closely with a Certified Access Specialist (CASp), who can identify all that is needed to make your building ADA compliant. To learn more, contact us today.

Nearly three decades ago, the printing industry was revolutionized with the introduction of consumer inkjet and laser printers. Before that, the only way to reproduce documents was through offset printing. These days, digital printing technology has improved to the point where any image can be reproduced with sharp preciseness. But, how does it work? Read on to learn more.

Defining Digital Printing

The broad definition of digital printing is any reproduction method that uses dots or pixels and electronic files to produce an image using toner, inkjet, ink, or other pigment or dye based imaging system. Each sheet can contain a different image, and a digital print required no set up sheets, since a digital printer does not rely on a press plate to carry an image. Instead, it redraws the page image for each print; as on a banner for instance.

There are a variety of advantages to digital printing. Los Angeles businesses can get custom work done at a reasonable price, since the image does not need to be re-drawn on each page. This feature facilitates on demand printing for manuals and books, just in time inventory management based on short run lengths, and the use of personalization in marketing.

How it Works

The digital printing process starts with the creation of the images and words that will be printed. This is the document file. The file is converted into a raster graphics image, regardless of the program that is used to design the file and any of its components. A grid of x and y coordinates on a display space is known as a raster. The coordinates to be illuminated is determined by the raster image file.

Since it contains information that is directly mapped to the display grid, you may be more familiar with what raster image files are more commonly known as: “bit map.” Examples of raster image file types are TIFF, JPEG, BMP, and GIF files. You have likely heard of the phrase “ripping.” This gets its name from raster image processing (RIP), a process that must be performed to convert a file into a raster image file, which the digital printer can read.

Its Role in the Signage Industry

When it comes to digital printing, commercial signage companies typically use what is called large format printing. Los Angeles business can benefit from large, or wide, format printers because they typically render precise images on a variety of materials.

At The Sign Studio, we use state of the art wide format digital printers to print directly on sign material, such as vinyl. We are able to take any image files you have, like your company logo, and render them perfectly on any sign you want made. In addition, your company colors can also be precisely matched with the large format printer. This is usefully for brand consistency: you want all of your marketing materials to have the same fonts, colors, and logos, so you can build your brand recognition.

Now that you know what digital printing is and how it is utilized by the signage industry, feel free to contact us if you would like to utilize this technology to build your brand and promote your business.

In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). With the passage of this act, it became federal law that every business and property owner that serves or accommodates the public must make their premises accessible to the disabled. Without dealing with disability access, running a company is complicated and time consuming enough. However, the issues of ADA compliance still must be addressed.

This issue is more difficult to address in California, the strictest state when it comes to ADA compliance. Fortunately, many of the regulations set forth in both state and federal laws can be met by simply placing easy to read signs in appropriate spots. This is where The Sign Studio can help out.

ADA Compliance Signs for California

There are specific requirements for precise types of exterior and interior signage set forth in the ADA. Some of these laws include:

• Mounting height and location is specific to the type of sign
• Character height must be sized according to the viewing distance from which they are to be read
• Symbols may be required to accompany text
• Signs must have a non-glare finish
• Typestyle must be sans serif with contrasting colors, such as dark characters on a light background or vice versa

Grade II Braille

There are many interior signage types that also require the addition of Braille as well as following the above requirements. Braille is the raised dots that accompany the tactile text of a sign. In buildings where the public has general access, stairways, exit routes, restrooms, handicap access points, room signs, exits, and other permanent signs are required to have raised number or letters with corresponding Braille characters and even pictograms on occasion.

We Can Help

California ADA compliance signs are our specialty. We have a full line of standard signs in stock. Or, we can make custom signs for your company. This is generally the better move, since custom signs can be made to precisely match your business’s colors and can potentially include your company name and logo. This is helpful in branding your enterprise and helping build trust and convert sales.

Are you unsure about what signs you need to be compliant? No problem! We work closely with a company that is certified through California’s Certified Access Specialist Program. A trained professional can go through your building and determine exactly what needs to be done to make it compliant. With that information, we can determine what signs are appropriate.

Is Becoming Compliant Expensive?

Many businesses avoid updating their building to be compliant because they are afraid of the costs. This is dangerous. First of all, potential disabled customers and employees and their advocates will be turned off by your company thus hurting sales. Secondly, you leave yourself open to potential lawsuits. Lastly, we offer ADA compliance signs made from an array of material that fit just about any budget.

If you are ready to make your business friendlier to those with disabilities while also avoiding potential lawsuits, you could buy California ADA compliance signs online, or you can contact The Sign Studio and know for sure that you are getting precisely what you need.

LA Signs / Banners | 3 Top Tips for the Organization of Any Event

Events are typically planned for the main purpose of bringing people together. An event can be used to celebrate a special occasion, bring awareness to an organization, or help promote a company, or group of companies. Events can span the course of a few hours to a few week, can they can be lavishly planned or planned on a low-budget. Events can also be held at nearly any location, such as the park, hotel, restaurant, convention center, theater, community center, country club, or the city street with the right permits.

No matter what type of event you are planning, where you will hold your event or what your budget for the event is, there are several tips that can help you plan the perfect event for your guests. Below is a look at the top three tips to keep in mind that will help you with your marketing event planning.

1. Decide on the Details

The first thing you need to do when marketing event planning is to start making some of the basic decisions. For example, you want to start by create a workable budget for the event. You also need to make all the main decisions, such as when and where you will have the event, the main purpose for the event, select a theme for the event, create a guests list unless holding a public event, and determine if you will have any prizes. All of these decisions should be determined early on in the planning process.

2. Create a Master Checklist

After the details have been determine, you can start creating your master checklist to be used for the event. This list should include everything you need have accomplished before the event takes place. Be sure to check each thing off the list as it is completed and right down the name of anyone you assigned a task to complete. This will help to make sure that you do not forget anything for the event. You should also create a detailed checklist that can be used before, during, and after the event to keep everything on schedule.

3. Promote the Event

No event would be successful if you do not put time into promoting the event. Before the event takes place, you need to get the word out about the details.the best way to promote your event is to use visual marketing signage. Large banners and sign can be a great solution to this problem, along with flyers and mailers that contain the details of your event.  

However, your event marketing with signage does not stop when the event starts. You also need to use promotions during the event, too. Consider using giveaways with your company’s logo or having the staff wear a special events t-shirt that displays your company name.  Promotional, informative and safety signs can be used during the event to help remind guests as to the main purpose of the event.

Preplanning is the key to having a successful event, so that earlier you start planning and the better organized you are, the smoother the event will run. Remember the importance of event marketing with signage and to order your signs early to have everything in place before and during your event. Immediately after the event, it is important that evaluate how successful the event was and to determine if there was anything you could have done better. This will help you when planning future events and will make the process easier.

A qualified individual with a disability is able to perform task in a work environment with or without accommodations. Reasonable accommodations made for an employee with a disability includes making a place of business accessible for the person to use. This also involves making certain adjustments to the schedule. Modifications to equipment, devices and examinations are included. Policies, trainings and interpreters are also part of the modifications. Modifications in a facility includes proper sign usage for a person with a disability. 

Requirements for ADA signs

When it comes to the typography on the signs, ADA  requires that an acceptable font to be used on all upper case and the font should be raised at least at 1/32". The tactile characters must be san serif. You are not able to make the font italic, oblique, or over decorate it. It is important that the character proportion of the width of the "I" be at 15 percent of the letter height. The width of the "O" should be anywhere from 55 and 110 percent of the height of the upper case "I". You may also want to know that the copy height of the tactile information be at a limit of 5/8 inch and 2 inch. Also the tactile spacing be at a minimum of 1/8 inch and the maximum amount allowed is four times the stroke width.

The permanent locations of ID signs should be located at the doorways. Only if there is no room can a sign be placed at the nearest adjacent wall. Signs on double doors have a couple of ways that it can be mounted. One way is that the sign be placed on the door that is not being used. If both doors are being used then the sign should be placed on the right to the door at the right. If the right hand side is occupied with other items, then the nearest adjacent wall will do. Signs are to be mounted at a 48 inches to 60 inches above the ground. 

Symbols on ADA signs

It is recommended that international symbols are used. For example the famous wheel chair accessibility symbol. Rest room signs must have a 1/2 inch foam tape. This is to separate the pictogram from the font and on a unisex to separate the male and female symbol. A reflective handicap sign for a parking space must be placed 60 inches above the ground, which is measured from the ground up. It is important to meet and be compliant with the ADA standard requirements.

What is the difference between ADAAG and Ca Braille – Grade 1 & Grade 2 Braille?

Braille allows blind people to read. They run their fingers across a surface of raised dots arranged in cells. Braille is a phonetic code rather than a traditional alphabet. Created in the early 1800's by Louis Braille, blinded in childhood, who had a passion for learning and few books available. His invention opened a world of communication and self-reliance for the vision impaired. 

Basics

• A cell is three dots high and two dots wide.
• The dots are nubs that protrude from a differentiated background.
• Text reads left to right.

Beyond this, things get a little complicated for the sighted person. Over time, subsets of Braille have developed for mathematics, music, science, and literature. Advanced systems include contractions and shortcuts. But, because reading Braille in book formats takes time, many blind people prefer audio recordings. Still, when it comes to signs, Braille plays a significant role.

Grade 1 Braille

Braille 1 positions dots to represent twenty-six letters and some punctuation marks. There is no upper or lower case letters, and there are no numbers. It is the system most readers learn at the very beginning, but they move onto Braille 2 quickly.

Grade 2 Braille

By 1905, Braille had moved away from a transcription from the French alphabet to an arrangement of dots. The need to speed the reading process and diversify the languages available, they introduced contractions, abbreviations, and logogram symbols. In effect, they created a new language. 

Instead of cells representing one letter, one cell might represent a shortened word. A cell combination might be a double letter combination of common words that leaves out the vowels. Or, it might contract common prefixes or suffixes. In any case, the system has evolved into a complex of rules, usage, and vocabulary.

ADAAG Requirements

The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) requires architectural signs for every permanent room in a public facility plus exits, elevators, offices, staircases, and anything needing identification and information on a facility feature. (There are also guidelines for people with hearing, cognitive, and psychiatric limitations.)

Like other government agency guidelines, the rules a complicated. The guidelines determine the typeface, color, and size. It requires Braille Grade 2 but allows some pictograms and logograms.

California Braille 

California's regulatory history has always tweaked federal regulation a little tighter. So, it has stepped up the required guidelines for Braille in public signage. It wants the signs that direct and inform in the same locations throughout facilities, but it narrows the specifications.

• Dots must be rounded or domed.
• Dots will be 1/10 inch (2.54 mm) on center in each cell.
• Cells will be 2/10 inch (5.08 mm) from the second column of dots to the first column of dots in adjacent cells.
• Dots will rise at least 1/40 inch (0.635 mm) from the background. 

The Sign Studio knows the differences when it comes to Braille requirements and has been producing ADA and Title 24 compliant signs since they opened their studio doors. The vision-impaired must navigate the same spaces everyone else has available to them: schools, businesses, arenas, libraries, theaters, and more. They need and deserve the same information on educational opportunities, directional indicators, and safety risks - and Braille signs are the key to this freedom.

Why A Sign Is So Important For A Business | Los Angeles Sign Comany

The ability to generate sales will make or break your business. However, before you can make those sales, you need to generate a consumer interest in your company's products or services. The way generate such an interest is with a solid marketing plan. While many elements of a marketing plan will change to match the zeitgeist, one will not: Your signage is a critical way to market to consumers in a quick, effective way. But why? This article will take a look at what makes a good sign so important for the success of your business.

Good signs can deliver a message without getting in the way

The problem with most outbound (ostensible) marketing solutions such as television advertisements and popup internet ads is that they get in the way. Commercials are commonly known as a blockade between viewers and their shows, and users want to view the content that led them to the website in the first place -- not the ad popup that block their ability to do so. A good sign, on the other hand, is a borderline inbound marketing (consumer-friendly) resource, since it brings them closer to your brand without being intrusive.

Good signs work fast

A good sign will do one of two things (if not both): it will either direct consumers to the nearby location of your business, or it will provide them with instant access to communicate with your company. This feeling of fast access to your company will make a customer comfortable going to you.

Signage is a medium that requires little maintenance, updating or changes

Most elements of your company's marketing plan, including the most successful ones, will require tweaks, updates and major changes to remain fresh, up to date and compatible with the latest technologies. Well-made signs, on the other hand, require none of this. Unless your company;s logo, colors, contact info or offerings change, there is no need to update your signs once they are erected.

Also, since a physical sign requires no software updates or design language changes, you won't have to do anything in that regard either. The little maintenance that you will have to engage in mostly involves making sure your sign is clean.

A good sign can change a person's mind

Sometimes a consumer is looking for a specific type of product or service, but they feel like it is too much of a "hassle" to find a company like yours; sometimes a customer will already have another company in mind for offerings like yours. If it is good enough, your sign can change the minds of these people. For instance, if a customer trying to avoid the hassle of searching for a business sees your sign, they could literally drop what they are doing and pay you a visit.

A good sign grabs people's attention without you

Another great benefit of a good sign is that it will catch the attention of consumers without you having to do any extra work. This means that you are essentially enacting a 24/7 marketing tactic that works for you even while you are sleeping.

Bottom line: A good sign will exponentially increase your company's number of sales leads. Not utilizing this tool would be a huge business blunder that you can't afford to make. The first step to obtaining a new business sign that will bring in more business opportunities is to find a good sign company. If you are looking for sign services, contact The Sign Studio.
