Bulk fabrication also lets you buy extras for future use. Store five spare “OPEN” signs in a closet for when the inevitable forklift accident happens. Planning for breakage isn’t paranoid; it’s prudent. It’s the same energy as buying an extra umbrella—you’ll only need it when you really, really need it.
Fun fact: Some franchise systems now include a “spare parts kit” in their bulk orders, complete with extra screws and adhesive. It’s like getting the extended warranty, but without the salesman breathing down your neck. You’ll feel like MacGyver when you fix a sign in under ten minutes.
