Today's outdoor yard signs are typically made of Coroplast.
It is a twin wall extruded plastic material that has corrugated supports called flutes between the walls.
You can cut Coroplast with the flutes running vertically or horizontally.
When using Coroplast for yard signs, choosing to have the flutes run vertically allows us of an H-Stake.
This is a wire stand with prongs on both ends.
One set of prongs is inserted into the vertical flutes and the other set of prongs is stuck into the grass or soil.
This approach allows a stable platform for the sign, allows for easy re-direction of the sign and opens up both sides of the sign for printing.
Yard Signs have several purposes including:
Their light weight is due to the twin wall construction, but they are still very durable because of the corrugated fluting between the walls.
The cost of Coroplast is minimal and several ink formulations have been developed that allow full color printing on both sides that endures the outdoor elements.
The signs are easily cleaned and if maintained properly look good and continue to be useful for the long periods of time.
The typical mistake for first time users is trying to get too much information on them.
If your target is passing automobile traffic, a wordy message will be lost.
Your sign needs to be easily read, not crowded, and convey one or two points of key information.
It is well proven that passersby will not take the time to read crowded, busy signs while driving.
The next time you have a need for a yard sign, give Coroplast a try.
Custom signs are available at local printers or over the internet.
