What are Yard Signs?
Yard signs are custom printed signs designed for outdoor display in lawns, sidewalks, medians, and other high-visibility locations to promote, direct, or announce something. They are commonly used for local advertising, real estate listings, political campaigns, event directions, contractor notices, garage sales, and celebrations.
Our custom yard signs are lightweight, durable, and easy to install, making them a practical choice for both short-term promotions and everyday signage needs. Depending on the product, buyers can choose different sizes, print sides, and material options to fit their campaign or location.
Customize and Order Your Yard Signs
Step 1 - Choose Your Yard Sign Type
Start by choosing the use case. Think about how you plan to use your yard sign. For storefront promotions or local advertising, advertising yard signs are usually a good choice. Other yard sign types are designed for different needs, including political campaigns, real estate listings, and event use.
Step 2 - Select Size and Shape
Choose the size based on viewing distance and placement. Standard rectangular signs on many products begin at 12" x 18" and may go up to 30" x 24", depending on the style. If you want a stronger visual appeal, you can also go for shaped options like circle, oval, arrow, or hexagonal. An oval shape, for instance, works especially well for wedding signs.
Step 3 - Upload Artwork or Choose a Template
Upload your finished design if it is ready. If not, use the design tools or start from a template. You can also use professional design help and proofing support on selected products, which is useful if you are creating custom lawn signs for the first time.
Step 4 - Select Printing Options
Select single-sided or double-sided printing depending on how the sign will be viewed. If people see it from both directions, double-sided printing makes more sense. Some products also support Pantone color matching for closer brand color consistency.
Step 5 - Set Quantity and Review Pricing
Set the quantity according to your requirement, whether you need one sign, a few pieces, or a larger campaign order. Bulk discounts on bigger quantities make them a practical choice for both one-off outdoor yard signs and high-volume runs.
Step 6 - Review and Place Your Order
Check the preview; confirm size, finish, print side, and quantity; then place the order. This is the step to catch any layout, color, or wording issue before it goes into production.
Yard Sign Materials and Print Quality
Material Options
Our yard signs are made from 0.2" (5 mm) Corflute plastic, a lightweight material suited for regular outdoor use. The material is designed to hold up well in everyday conditions such as sunlight and rain, making it a practical choice for promotions, events, and temporary outdoor signage.
Outdoor Durability
Our yard signs are made for normal outdoor use and can handle everyday exposure to sun, rain, and wind. This makes them a practical choice for campaigns, local promotions, and seasonal displays where dependable outdoor performance matters.
Print Finish and Visibility
Our signs are printed using 600 DPI UV printing, which delivers sharp detail and vibrant full-color graphics. It also helps improve readability and keeps colors looking clearer for longer in outdoor use.
