    Sources - Engraved Sign Holders

    I know that Artisan Engraving Supply has them but anyone know of a
    better/less expensive source? I'll be quoting 100 or so of the brass 1" x 4" wall mount type holders. This is a good "foot in the door" for a local chain of Markets, so I'd like to get the best possible price.

    Yes, in fact that's what I get from Artisan, JRS.

    I have found it much cheaper to get directly from JRS. Seems like something we used to pay $13 for ended up costing $9 when we bought it directly from JRS.

    Not sure if it helps any, but if you haven't contacted JRS directly, give them a try and see if they will give you a price break for ordering so many at one time.

    I'm not sure what kind of hold you need....

    Joe are you talking about those flat metal holders you slide the chunk of engrave plastic into?

    I buy my stuff from Western Trophy in Portland and WA Trophy in Kent. I don't know if their prices are bad or good.

    I used to buy them from Johnson Plastic too, until I couldn't get them in time for an order and called JRS directly. Not only do I get things quicker now, I get them cheaper.

    Jrs

    I order from Johnson Plastics and found them locally from other businesses also. My beef is why is black a custom order? The only thing that is kept stock is rose gold and silver

    My problem on this order was that I need 1" x 4" which is special order at all the local places I tried.
