Portable & Temporary Signs
CORRUGATED PLASTIC SIGNS: 24×18 Yard Signs / Political Signs / up to 8’x4’ 24” x 18”:
We offer full-color digitally-printed, and one- and two-color screen-printed corrugated plastic 24” x 18” signs with wire stands (These are the standard political signs you see on the corner during elections.)
Full-color sign are more expensive and are available in singles or small quantities, as well as large quantities.
One- and two-color signs are a money-saver and begin in lots of 10 and can be printed in the 1000s.
We also offer heavy-duty, black powder-coated sign stakes to better withstand our coastal winds.
OTHER SIZES:
Corrugated plastic comes in 8’x 4’ sheets, and thus can be printed and cut to any size for temporary uses beyond standard yard signs.
A-FRAME SIDEWALK SIGN: Available 24×18 and 24×36
A-frame sidewalk signs are perfect for restaurants and stores offering daily specials or real estate agents announcing an open house.
Our black powder-coated steel frames hold either aluminum composite (long-term use) or corruagated plastic (short-term use) faces. Come clients print the faces both sides so they can be flipped to show another message, when needed.
*These also can be faced with chalkboard media for use with liquid chalk markers.
Our white or black plastic Sign-A-Cade frames typically hold a corrugated plastic insert or we also offer a less-expensive permanent printed face that is part of the frame and doesn’t change out.
PORTABLE REAL-ESTATE FRAME SIGNS (also shown on Real Estate / Job Site page)
24” x 18” Black, powder-coated steel: Most common, typical residential real estate yard sign.
Available with a 6” rider slot on the bottom, top or both.
Horizontal is most common, also available special-order in vertical format.
24” x 36” Black, powder-coated steel (with bottom rider): Effective for builder signs or commercial real-estate signs when a standard 4” x 4” post can’t be used due to space or underground lines.
ULTRABOARD: Rigid Foam Core
Our answer to foam core is Ultraboard — a rigid foam core with PVC faces that doesn’t warp! This is a lightweight substrate that direct prints beautifully. It is perfect for trade-shows, conferences and hanging restaurant menus. It’s only downside is if handled repeatedly or roughly, the corners can break when dropped. This is a favorite of our clients, especially for framing.

What factors go into the cost of a job site sign?
Our pricing depends on a number of factors.. The substrate, media type, creativity of the design, and complexity of the assembly. Our estimating software uses an algorithm that considers each of these factors in producing a price. This is why we don’t use a square foot price for each substrate.
