Custom Yard Sign Printing

Yard signs are read by people driving past at thirty miles an hour, which almost nobody designs for. A dedicated Print Concierge checks your artwork for exactly that: whether the headline can be taken in at a glance, whether the phone number is large enough to be read from a moving car, and whether the contrast survives bright sun. Most files we receive have too many words and type that is too small. We tell you before printing a hundred of them, not after.

Size is a decision about how fast the reader is moving.

• 12 x 18: pavement level, for foot traffic and residential streets. Directional arrows, open-house pointers, yard-of-the-month.
• 18 x 24: the standard yard sign and the one most people mean. Real estate, contractors, campaigns.
• 18 x 30 and 24 x 24: more presence on a busier road without moving into a full sign build.
• 24 x 36 and 48 x 48: main roads and construction sites, where you need to be read across several lanes.

Check your local rules before ordering the largest sizes. Many municipalities cap temporary sign dimensions, and campaign signage often has its own separate limits.

Double sided costs more per sign and is worth it more often than people expect. A sign at the edge of a road is only read by traffic coming from one direction if it is printed on one side, which halves your audience on any through road. Single sided makes sense against a wall or fence, or where traffic only approaches from one way. Double sided is the right call for corner lots, medians, and anywhere cars pass in both directions. On a double-sided sign the reverse can carry the same design or a different message entirely at no extra cost.

Send vector artwork where you can, an AI, EPS or PDF with fonts outlined, with 0.125 inch bleed on every edge.

• Six words or fewer on the headline. A driver has about two seconds.
• Phone number second largest after the headline, and never in a script.
• Maximum contrast. Dark on light or light on dark, never mid-tone on mid-tone.
• Keep everything at least 1 inch inside the trim, and clear of the bottom two inches where a stake may sit.
