Common Yard Sign Uses

Glossy and matter yard signs

The following are arguably the most popular uses for yard signs. In certain circumstances, each event can occur any time of year! In warmer climates, yard signs can promote garage sales and real estate open houses all year round. 

College graduations can happen in Winter, Spring, Summer and even Fall.

 

 

Yard Sale Signs

Often fondly referred to as garage sale signs. These yard signs are printed digitally in full color on sturdy materials. Use yard signs to inform people of an upcoming sale, or guide them right to the garage door.

Use directional signs to direct friends and family to the graduation party. Be sure to include the address, time & date — and a "congrats grad" on your sign.

 

Corrugated Plastic Material Options

 

Technically, all three of our material options are corrugated plastic sheets. One is a static size, while the other two are customizable. Here, we’ll discuss the differences between size and material thickness.

4mm Corrugated Plastic Signs - 4' x 8' Coroplast Signs

These corrugated plastic sheets are great for yard events, construction sites and other business purposes. You don't have to get one 4'x8' sign.The majority of people fill the board with 10 12 "x 18" signs. This saves on cost for us and you! 

4mm Corrugated Plastic Signs - Individual Sizes

This is a great material option for those customers that wish to explore many size options. The lawn signs can be single or double-sided. You can hang them on walls and fences using the grommet option. You can also use them traditionally with wire ground stakes or beefy stakes.

Corrugated Plastic Signs - 10 mm Corrugated Plastic Signs

This thicker, yard sign material option is sturdy and waterproof. Use them on a fence with grommets or even propped up against a wall or machinery. These signs are digitally printed in full CMYK color. Logos, images and designs will look spectacular.

 

Benefits

 

One of the key benefits of using high quality materials is that they are maintenance free. This means that once the materials are installed, there is rarely any need for constant upkeep or repairs. 

Additionally, our high quality materials are waterproof. This is particularly advantageous in outdoor settings, where exposure to rain or other forms of moisture is common. The waterproof nature of these materials ensures that they remain intact and readable, regardless of weather conditions.

Another advantage of high quality materials is that they are often offered blank for DIY yard signs. This way, customers have the freedom to design and personalize their signs for their specific needs and creative inclinkings.
