Scale of Production of signs.

This sign is further helped by the fact that a very large quantity of signs use the same shaped sign for their purpose, for example if there were no longer a demand for men at work signs, Give Way or caution signs could be created instead.

This sign is a one off sign as only one single cinema or attraction would require this particular sign. This sign would be expensive to manufacture as it is possibly made out of a range of materials and also makes use of lighting. There may be a high demand for advanced, expensive machinery required to create this particular sign. Other signs similar to this or in a company chain of cinemas may use the same template, but obviously would not want the same lettering of light on the sign.

This sign is neither a one off nor mass produced sign. Instead it would be a batch produced sign and only a small number would be made. This is due to the fact that there are only a handful of Citizen Advice Bureaus around the country and the demand would never become significantly larger. The sign would be made from wither cheap metal or a heavy duty plastic. No other signs would want to use the same template and make use of spare Citizen Advice Bureau signs. The cost of creating a sign is always relative to the quantity of signs needed. This particular sign would be more expensive to manufacture than a road sign, but not as expensive to manufacture as a one off cinema sign etc.

Evaluation

After covering this topic I have noticed that the cost of creating a sign is nearly always relative to the quantity of signs needed the same can be said for the scale of production. The more quantity of signs needed, the cheaper it usually is to produce, and thus more signs are manufactured in a short amount of time.

Many factors can affect the scale of production of a sign, for example if a sign requires heavy, specific machinery to be required, then the scale of production is usually smaller, also if the sign shares the same template with another sign, then the scale of production is usually higher.
