Yard signs are one of the simplest, most effective ways to get your message seen, whether you’re promoting a business, supporting a political candidate, or hosting a graduation party. They combine high visibility, low cost, and fast turnaround, making them a favorite for both professionals and DIY creators.
At Yard Sign Plus, we make making yard signs easy from start to finish. This guide explains every step, from choosing durable materials to uploading artwork and receiving your custom signs, so you can order confidently and get professional results without the guesswork.
Most yard signs are made from corrugated plastic (also known as Coroplast), a lightweight, weather-resistant material ideal for outdoor use. The structure keeps the sign sturdy while allowing wire stakes to slide easily into place for ground display.
When it comes to making your own yard signs, size affects visibility and impact. Smaller signs are great for front lawns or sidewalks, while larger ones stand out from greater distances (perfect for high-traffic streets or large outdoor areas).At Yard Sign Plus, our most popular yard sign size is 18”x24”, offering excellent readability and balance between cost and coverage.
| For a full breakdown of recommended dimensions and best uses, see our Standard Yard Sign Size Guide. |
Once you have chosen your material, it’s time to upload your artwork. Yard Sign Plus accepts JPEG, PNG, PDF, and AI files, all at high resolution to ensure crisp, clear printing. Include a small bleed margin in your file to prevent edge trimming, and double-check spelling, logos, and colors before submitting.
If you’re not a designer, don’t worry! We offer free design assistance to help align artwork, adjust text placement, or color-match your brand.
On our Custom Yard Signs page, you can:
Upload your own design.
Start from a blank canvas.
Customize pre-made templates for business ads, real estate listings, political signs, or event displays.
Our platform shows an instant on-screen preview, so you know exactly how your sign will look before printing.
These guides help ensure your text stands out and your message grabs people’s attention even from a distance.
| Don’t know how to start? Try our yard sign templates. Whether you’re looking to advertise a business, promote an important event, or show support for a cause, our templates cover all your signage needs. Simply select a template, select your font, and add the words, and we’ll take care of the rest. |
After you upload your file, our design team will send a digital proof within one hour. This proof shows your final layout, color accuracy, and positioning. Review it carefully for any adjustments you’d like to make, from text alignment to logo sharpness.
Yard Sign Plus allows unlimited free revisions before production. Once you approve your proof, your design moves straight into printing with our UV-cured digital process, producing long-lasting color that won’t fade outdoors.
This proofing process helps both DIY customers and marketing teams feel confident their message will look exactly as intended, and ensures production begins quickly for on-time delivery.
Once your design is approved, placing an order is quick and transparent. Select your finishing options such as:
Quantity
Grommets for hanging signs
Printing type (single- or double-sided)
Our online store automatically updates pricing as you choose options, so there are no surprises or hidden fees at checkout.
For campaigns, schools, or corporate promotions, the Bulk Order Program offers discounted rates on high-volume purchases. Whether you’re printing 10 or 10,000 signs, Yard Sign Plus provides consistent quality and fast turnaround across every batch.
For most outdoor signs, wire stakes are the simplest and most effective way to set up your display. Yard Sign Plus offers durable 10”x24” H-stakes made from sturdy 9-gauge metal that easily slide into plastic signs and hold them steady in the ground. Including stakes with your order ensures your signs are ready to display the moment they arrive, no additional hardware or tools needed.
| Helpful Marketing Tip: A yard sign is most effective when supported by cohesive branding. If you’re using your signs to promote a business, match your design style across other materials (door hangers, retractable banners, or business cards). Maintaining consistent visuals reinforces trust and keeps your brand memorable. |

You’ll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships. Each sign is packed with protective layers to prevent scratches or bending during transit. When your package arrives, your signs are ready to display immediately, no assembly required beyond inserting stakes or hanging grommets.
