FAQ
Yard Signs questions, answered
How long do coroplast yard signs last outside?
Corrugated plastic yard signs are rated for about 12–18 months outdoors, depending on sun, wind and weather. Indoors they last 2 years or more. For a sign that needs to stand for several years, aluminum or aluminum composite (ACM) is the longer-life choice.
What size yard sign should I order?
24 × 18 in (landscape) is the standard yard sign and works for real estate, campaign and event signs read from a sidewalk or slow-moving car; 18 × 24 in is the same size in portrait. 24 × 36 in gives more room for larger letters when the sign needs to be read from a busier road. Sizes come from the standard list in the size picker, up to a full 48 × 96 in sheet; for an exact custom size, aluminum or ACM is cut to any size.
What is the difference between 4mm and 10mm coroplast?
4mm is the standard yard sign thickness: light, low cost and fluted to take wire step stakes. 10mm is more than twice as thick and stiffer, so larger signs flex less in wind. Contour (shape) cutting, grommets, gloss and standard wire stakes are available on 4mm; 10mm takes heavy-duty step stakes.
Do yard signs come with stakes?
Stakes are an add-on, so you only pay for them if you need them. Standard wire step stakes suit small to medium signs, and heavy-duty step stakes add stability for larger or double-sided signs. The stake slides into the flutes along the bottom edge of the sign.
Should I order single or double-sided?
Choose double-sided when the sign faces traffic from two directions, such as a corner lot or a sign set perpendicular to the road. Single-sided is enough for a sign mounted flat against a fence, wall or window.
How big should the letters be to read from the road?
A widely used rule of thumb is about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance. Text meant to be read from 50 feet needs letters around 5 inches tall, and from 100 feet around 10 inches. Keep the message short and use high-contrast colors so it reads at a glance.
How many yard signs fit on one 4 × 8 ft sheet?
One sheet makes 10 standard 24 × 18 in yard signs, 8 at 18 × 24 in portrait, 20 at 12 × 18 in and 5 at 24 × 36 in. Yard signs are sold by the whole sheet, so 10 single-sided 4mm signs at 24 × 18 in cost $104.50, $10.45 a sign, before shipping. The size picker lists every standard size with its count per sheet.
Is coroplast the same as corrugated plastic?
Yes. Coroplast is the everyday name for corrugated plastic sign board, a fluted plastic sheet. Brand 9 yard signs are UV printed on 4mm board for standard signs or 10mm for heavy-duty, and are printed with the flutes running up and down so wire step stakes slide in.
How fast can I get custom yard signs?
