I am bidding a job right now and would like to offer some options. The job is for a building that is waiting to be leased. While they are waiting they want the windows to be completely covered on the inside and have their corporate logo, basically to block out so no one can see inside to the unfinished space. The signs are to be "temporary", which means the lettering could be up a week or a year. There are two windows 3'-6" x 7'-6" and one 8'-0" x 7'-6". I have thought about layered vinyl or digital prints. Any other suggestions?

yeah, or digital print onto paper (if you're not up to the lettering.)

i'd run the paper through my plotter, using the pen instead of the blade, and then paint. its pretty easy (coloring book) as long as you plot big. all labor and almost no $ in materials - a high profit job.

i think Pierre uses 2-sided Scotch tape to put these up. its neater than masking tape.

You could paint or paper on inside and then letter with paint or vinyl on outside. I have done it both ways.

Why not Coroplast, looks neater than paper. Each sheet of white Coroplast is only about 12 bucks(less if you buy bulk) and could be re-used for a temporary "Big Opening" sign or similar applications. Apply digital print or paint, cut to exact size so that it will basically hold in place by itself. Voila.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. What's a fair sq. ft. price for the paper signs?
