anyone have a good source? my local supply house can't provide the size and specs that we need...I need some that are 3"x4", some that are 1" x2" and some that are 3/4" x 2"

thanks in advance

try a trophy shop, if you cant find one, call a bowling alley and ask who they use.
 
Yep, trophy shop. We used to do our own phenolic labels but we found that it's faster and cheaper to have a trophy shop do it. (unless you need them at the end of Little League season)

Cool. Never thought of a trophy shop. Found a company in NYS that specializes in electrical nameplates as well. But a local trophy shop is easier.

And I think Mark is correct. It's boilerplate from what I am learning.
 
The first time, I ever heard that term "phenolic labels", I had to stop the conversation and ask for a clarification of what they said, and what it meant J

The regular laminated engraved plates are phenolic. Most places, for an extra dollar, can make them out of nylon. The benefit is that they don't break like the phenolic can, which helps if you're riveting them on. If you're using double stick, I'd highly recommend the 3M body trim adhesive double stick sold at auto parts stores. Doesn't dry out and fall off like double stick from the office supply store.

Then the place you ordered them from applied that for you. It's not like their stock comes with that on already.

The guy I use is setup to also make A-B Bulletin 800 legend plates too. That's handy.

maybe...but i just need to see what it says. I can find sample of their other forms on line at stores that sell them...but no one has a legible sample of this form visible.

Have you tried the library? Most libraries are part of an interlibrary loan system, and they can get darned near anything ever printed shipped to your local library in a week or so. I'd bet there's some university library that has all the AIA docs in their stacks.

i'll get them from the GC that is requiring them...I just figured if someone actually had a copy, i could prepare myself. G716 is a new form, and we've never used it before.

The AIA.org will gladly take your money and you can retrieve all the desired literature, on demand that will or can be at your finger tips that are also ? 'd.

Besides its just a business expense to you.

I always consider this Forum a class act, wither I learn something or fall out laughing from the class clowns.

Or like society in general it takes all types to make the world go round.

You sound just like my present Big Business GC, that want something for nothing!
