Mailbox Signs Made To Last
 |
“The company laminates three colors together so the center color stands out where the CNC router cuts out the letters,” says Ropp, owner of Dropp Plastics in Kalona, Iowa. “Black and white is most common because it stands out, but we have 18 color options.”
The 16-in. wide by 6 or 10-in. tall signs are 1/2-in. thick and bolt to the top of a mailbox, fence or wherever the customer chooses. Sign shapes include a flat top, arced top and custom top with prices ranging from $35 to $55.
“We do large signs as well for businesses and do custom work,” Ropp adds. For example, customers have ordered signs with a horse silhouette on the top.
Because they’re plastic, they won’t rot or rust. Selling the signs fits in with Ropp’s business making a variety of items out of plastic such as watering tubs for livestock, sinks for milk parlors and whelping boxes for dog breeders.
To order a sign leave a message and phone number and Ropp will get back to you.
