Yard Signs: Corrugated Plastic and Coroplast
Yard signs are workhorses in real estate, political campaigns, business promotions, and event advertising. We print on durable 4mm corrugated plastic (coroplast), the same material you see in high-traffic environments. It’s lightweight, weather-resistant, and prints with rich color and sharp detail.
The standard yard sign is 18 inches by 24 inches, the size that balances visibility with portability. We can print smaller 12×18 or larger 24×36 formats, but 18×24 remains the industry standard for a reason: it’s easy to transport, stake, and position, and it commands attention from passing traffic.
Corrugated plastic yard signs work for:
- Real estate marketing and open house announcements
- Political campaigns and candidate promotion
- Local business advertising and grand openings
- Nonprofit fundraising and community events
- Product launches and seasonal promotions
All our yard signs come with H stakes (also called wire stakes). H stakes provide secure anchoring in most soil types and keep your message upright and visible, even in light wind.
Rigid Signs: Acrylic, Foam Board, PVC, and Aluminum Composite
When yard signs aren’t the right fit, we offer premium rigid sign options for indoor and outdoor use. Rigid signs project permanence and professionalism, making them ideal for businesses that want their signage to last and stand out. Each material has distinct advantages depending on your environment, durability needs, and aesthetic goals. We help you choose the right option for where your sign will live and how long you need it to perform.
Acrylic signs deliver a professional, polished look with excellent color depth and clarity. Custom acrylic signs work beautifully for retail storefronts, office lobbies, and indoor displays. Acrylic resists yellowing, cleans easily, and can be mounted, routed, or shaped for custom designs. For indoor use, acrylic is the top choice. For outdoor applications, UV-stable acrylic performs well in moderate climates.
Foam board is lightweight and economical, ideal for temporary or short-term signage. We use it for trade show displays, event signage, and campaign boards. It’s easy to handle and mount, making it popular with nonprofits and small businesses running seasonal promotions.
PVC signs offer durability and cost-effectiveness for moderate outdoor use. PVC resists moisture and UV exposure better than foam board but does not have the premium finish of acrylic or aluminum. It’s a practical middle ground for outdoor applications where budget matters.
Aluminum composite is the premium rigid option for demanding outdoor environments. Aluminum composite withstands extreme weather, heavy UV exposure, and high-traffic areas without fading or warping. We recommend aluminum composite for permanent outdoor installations, high-wind locations, and designs that must maintain their appearance for years. The material conveys quality and durability, making it ideal for corporate identity and prestige branding.
Indoor versus outdoor: acrylic excels indoors and performs well in moderate outdoor exposure. Aluminum composite is built for permanent outdoor installation. Foam board works for temporary indoor and covered outdoor use. PVC bridges the gap when you need outdoor durability without the premium cost of aluminum.
Office and Lobby Signs
Your office lobby is where clients form first impressions. We design and print custom office signs that communicate professionalism: reception area signage, directional signs, wayfinding displays, and branded wall art. Acrylic signs, aluminum composite plaques, and custom shapes work here to create the right atmosphere and reinforce your brand identity from the moment a visitor arrives.
Lobby signs can be simple and modern or intricate and detailed. We’ve printed directory signs, company name plates, motivational displays, and custom shapes for nonprofits and corporate offices. Many Indianapolis businesses pair their lobby signage with matching door signs or exterior entrance features for consistent branding across their customer service footprint. Professional signage in your reception area signals attention to detail and quality to every client who walks through your door. Whether you need a single name plate, a multi-floor directory, or a full suite of wayfinding signage, we work with you to ensure your office signs reflect the caliber of your business.
Sizes, Mounting, and Custom Shapes
We print signs in standard sizes and custom dimensions to fit your space and message. Beyond the typical yard sign (18×24), we offer:
- Small interior signs (6×8, 8×10, 11×14)
- Large format signage (24×36, 30×40, and larger)
- Custom shapes: circles, ovals, arrows, company logos
- Shaped acrylic and foam board signs for standout designs
Mounting options depend on your choice of material and location. We advise on the best approach: H stakes for yard signs, standoffs for acrylic wall mounting, direct adhesive for window displays, brackets for pole mounting, or A-frame bases for portable signs. Your sign choice, material, and intended lifespan all factor into which mounting method makes sense. For example, a temporary event sign might use an A-frame base for quick setup and removal, while a permanent storefront installation would use durable standoffs or direct mounting. Our team guides you through these details during the quoting process so your sign is secure, visible, and built to last in its intended location.
Need Design Help?
If you have artwork ready, we’ll prepare it for printing and flag any refinements that improve results. If you’re starting from scratch, our graphic design services are here for you. We work with you to conceptualize, design, and finalize your sign layout, typography, color, and branding elements. Many Indianapolis businesses partner with us for both the design and the print, simplifying the whole process. A well-designed sign considers not just how it looks, but how it reads from a distance, how it integrates with your brand identity, and how it functions in its specific location. We take these factors seriously so your finished sign achieves its purpose and reflects your professionalism.
Related Services
Yard signs are often part of a larger campaign. Many clients pair sign printing with banner printing for trade shows, outdoor events, and storefront displays. Indoor banners work beautifully alongside lobby signage to create a cohesive brand experience. For large-format materials and poster printing, see our poster and large-format printing services. Combining multiple sign and printing formats often creates stronger visual impact than any single sign alone, so think about how your signs fit into your overall marketing and branding strategy.

Questions We Hear Often
Q: What is the standard yard sign size?
A: The standard yard sign is 18 inches wide by 24 inches tall. This size balances visibility with ease of transport and installation. We also print 12×18 and 24×36 if your campaign calls for it, but 18×24 is the industry norm and the most cost-effective choice for yard signs.
Q: What material should I use for outdoor signs?
A: For temporary outdoor signage like yard signs for real estate or political campaigns, 4mm corrugated plastic (coroplast) is ideal. It’s durable, weather-resistant, and affordable. For permanent outdoor installation or high-wind environments, aluminum composite is the premium choice and will last for years without fading or warping. Acrylic works for moderate outdoor use in retail or hospitality settings.
Q: How long do yard signs last outdoors?
A: Corrugated plastic yard signs typically hold up well for several months to a year with normal exposure to sun and weather. The lifespan depends on climate, UV intensity, and mechanical wear (impacts, handling). Aluminum composite signs last many years outdoors and resist fading, making them ideal for permanent installations.
Q: Do you include stakes with yard signs?
A: Yes. All our corrugated plastic yard signs come with H stakes (wire stakes). H stakes provide solid anchoring in most soil types and keep your sign upright and stable.
