COST GUIDE · POSTED, NOT QUOTED
What yard signs actually cost.
Yard signs here are coroplast with vinyl at a posted $9 per square foot. That covers real estate riders, campaign signs, grad signs, garage sales, and every open-house arrow in the county.
Standard sizes at the posted rate
- 18×24 in (3 sq ft). $27 each: the standard yard sign
- 24×24 in (4 sq ft). $36 each. Bigger message, same stake
- 24×36 in (6 sq ft). $54 each. Construction and site signs
- 6×24 in rider (1 sq ft). $9 each. Sold, Open House, Price Improved
Quantity runs are quoted from the same posted rate: a class set of grad signs or a campaign’s first hundred are simple multiplication, not a mystery. Stakes are inexpensive and quoted with the order. Price your own run →
Who orders these
Agents buy riders by the dozen because listings change status faster than a print queue moves. Campaigns buy coroplast by the hundred in the fall. Schools and families buy grad signs every May. Contractors need one at every job site, often by ordinance. The common thread: nobody plans these far ahead, which is exactly why the 10 AM cutoff matters.
Send your artwork or a rough idea, approve the free proof, pick them up the same afternoon.
Quantity, and where the money actually goes
The posted $9 per square foot is the starting rate, and it prices a single sign the same as the tenth. Larger runs get better per-piece pricing: a real campaign or event quantity is quoted as a run, not as one sign times fifty, so if you know you'll need more later, ask for the run price and print them together.
For an 18×24 at $27 each: ten is $270, fifty is $1,350, a hundred is $2,700. Stakes are separate inexpensive hardware quoted with the order.
Double-sided printing costs more than single-sided because it's twice the printing. Worth it on a corner where traffic passes both ways, unnecessary against a wall.
Making a yard sign that actually works
Yard signs are read at speed, often from a moving car. That means fewer words, bigger type, and high contrast. The most common mistake is treating an 18×24 sign like a flyer: a phone number nobody can read at 35 miles per hour is decoration, not advertising.
One message per sign. If you need to say three things, you need three signs or a bigger sign.
Coroplast has flutes running one direction, which affects how it sits on a stake; we'll orient the print correctly for how the sign will stand.
Questions we get asked.
What's the difference between coroplast and other materials?
Coroplast is corrugated plastic. Light, weatherproof, inexpensive, and the standard for yard signs. For something that needs to last years rather than a season, PVC at a posted $11 per square foot or aluminum composite at $13.50 are the sturdier options.
Can you print different names on each sign?
Yes. Variable runs are normal for grad signs and staff signs. Send the list in a spreadsheet and proofread it before sending; a reprint for one typo is the most avoidable expense in the job.
Do you sell the stakes?
Stakes are quoted with the order. Tell us how many signs are going into ground and we'll include what's needed.
