We have been asked to apply a company logo to a 24ft container with vertical corrugations approx 6" apart. Letters are 12" high, about 5 feet in length. There is no design, it's just the Company's wordmark. Question is...do I have to distort the text at all to make it look right on the corrugations, or do you just let the chips fall where they may? If so, how do I determine what the distortion should be?

If the corrugations are less than 1 inch high, ignore them! Done a lot of trucks that have the corrugations going horizontally, every 6 inches, and no noticable difference. Comletely corrugated situations will make a difference, in that the letters will be shortened, unless you distort the letters.

Hi Diane!
How's that EDGE2 of yours running? Are we keeping you happy?
Here are a couple of suggestions for you:
Measure to determine "stretch ratio"... Take a 3ft strip of vinyl and apply it over the corrugations...once applied, measure it again. This should give you a pretty decent indication of how much you need to stretch the graphics so that they will appear normal when applied.
Vinyl recommendation... Please note that we recommend choosing a 3M Controltac film, such as 180 series, for applications involving corrugations & rivets. You will love Controltac's "repositionability".
