What Fastsigns Does and Where to Find Locations in South Carolina

Fastsigns is a franchise chain that designs and prints signs, banners, vehicle wraps, and promotional materials

Fastsigns operates as a commercial print shop with locations across South Carolina. The company handles custom signage for businesses—from storefront signs and window decals to large-format banners, vehicle wraps, and interior displays. Each location is independently owned but operates under the Fastsigns brand and standards.

Unlike a general print shop, Fastsigns focuses on large-format and dimensional work: signs that sit outside, wrap around vehicles, or occupy significant wall space. They also produce smaller promotional items like yard signs, A-frame sidewalk signs, and trade show displays. Most locations offer design services, meaning you can walk in with an idea or a rough sketch and work with their design team to develop it.

Fastsigns locations in South Carolina are concentrated in the Upstate and Midlands regions. The company does not operate a single statewide phone line; each franchise is independent, so you contact the location nearest you directly for pricing, timelines, and design consultation.

Key Takeaways

• Fastsigns specializes in large-format signage, vehicle wraps, banners, and promotional displays rather than standard office printing.
• Each Fastsigns location is independently owned, so pricing, turnaround time, and design capabilities vary between shops.
• Most locations offer in-house design services, so you do not need finished artwork before you contact them.
• South Carolina Fastsigns locations are primarily in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston areas; you can find the nearest one through the national Fastsigns locator.

How to Find a Fastsigns Location Near You

The Fastsigns website includes a location finder tool where you enter your city or ZIP code and see all nearby franchises. This tool shows the address, phone number, hours, and sometimes a link to the individual location's website or social media pages.

If you are in the Upstate, Greenville has at least one established Fastsigns location. The Midlands (Columbia area) and Charleston also have franchises. Smaller towns may not have a dedicated Fastsigns, but the locator will show you the closest option and the distance.

Once you identify a location, call or visit in person. Many Fastsigns shops encourage walk-ins for quick consultations, though complex projects may benefit from a scheduled appointment so the designer can give you full attention.

What to Expect When You Order a Sign

When you contact a Fastsigns location, be ready to describe what you need: the type of sign (storefront, vehicle wrap, banner), the approximate size, the message or design, and when you need it. The designer will ask about your budget, the location where the sign will go, and whether you have existing branding (logos, color schemes) to match.

Fastsigns will create a design mockup for your review. You can request changes before production begins. Turnaround time depends on the complexity and current workload—simple vinyl decals might be ready in a few days, while a full vehicle wrap or large dimensional sign may take one to three weeks.

Installation is sometimes included in the price, sometimes offered as an add-on, and sometimes handled by you or a contractor you hire. Ask the location directly whether they install or just produce the sign.

Types of Signs and Materials Fastsigns Produces

Fastsigns works with vinyl, aluminum, foam, acrylic, and other materials depending on the project. Common products include:

• Vinyl decals and window graphics for storefronts, vehicles, and glass surfaces.
• Vehicle wraps that cover part or all of a car, truck, or van with custom graphics.
• Banners in mesh or vinyl for outdoor or indoor use.
• Dimensional letters and logos that mount on walls or buildings.
• A-frame and sandwich board signs for sidewalk placement.
• Trade show displays and pop-up banners for events.
• Yard signs and political or real estate signage.
• Interior signage like wayfinding, wall murals, and office branding.

Each location may specialize differently based on equipment and expertise. A location with a large-format printer and vinyl cutter can handle most projects, but some may outsource specialty work like 3D metal letters or neon signs.

Pricing and Budget Considerations

Fastsigns pricing varies by location, material, size, and complexity. A simple vinyl decal might cost $50 to $200, while a full vehicle wrap can range from $1,500 to $4,000 or more. Large storefront signs, dimensional letters, and custom installations are priced individually based on specifications.

Most locations offer free or low-cost design consultations. Some charge a design fee that is credited toward the final order if you proceed. Ask about this upfront.

Because each franchise sets its own prices, it is worth calling two or three locations in your region to compare quotes for the same project. Prices may differ based on material costs, labor, and local market conditions.

When to Choose Fastsigns Over Other Sign Shops

Fastsigns is a good fit if you want a recognizable brand with consistent quality standards, a location nearby, and in-house design support. The franchise model means you are working with a trained team that follows established processes.

Independent local sign shops may offer more personalized service or lower prices for simple projects. National chains like Vistaprint or local print shops may be cheaper for small vinyl decals or basic signage. Fastsigns excels at larger, more complex projects—vehicle wraps, dimensional signage, and integrated branding campaigns—where design expertise and specialized equipment matter.

If you need a sign fast and do not have time for a lengthy design process, a Fastsigns location with light workload may turn it around quickly. If you need something highly specialized or custom-fabricated, ask whether that location has the equipment or will refer you elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need finished artwork before I contact Fastsigns?

No. Most Fastsigns locations offer design services, so you can describe your idea, show reference images, or provide your logo and message, and their designer will create mockups for you to review and adjust.

How long does a vehicle wrap take?

Design and production typically take one to three weeks depending on the location's workload and the wrap's complexity. Installation adds another day or two. Rush orders may be possible at higher cost; ask the location directly.

Does Fastsigns install signs, or do I have to hire someone?

It depends on the location and the project. Some Fastsigns franchises include installation in the price or offer it as an add-on. Others produce the sign and leave installation to you or a contractor. Confirm this before you order.

Can Fastsigns match my company's brand colors and logo?

Yes. Bring your logo file (digital or printed), your brand colors, and any existing signage you want to match. The designer will incorporate these into the mockup so the new sign aligns with your brand identity.

What if I am not happy with the design mockup?

Most locations allow revisions before production starts. The number of revision rounds may be limited depending on the location's policy, so ask how many changes are included before you approve the final design.
