Full-color signs start at $4.35, and you can order any quantity from 1 to 500 per line item. Most orders are produced and shipped within 2 business days. Prices below are store prices. Foam board for indoor work, coroplast for anything that lives outside.
Most print companies make you build a cart or fill out a quote form to see a number. Here is ours, up front. Prices are for full-color printing on both sides and include standard turnaround.

Those are representative quantity breaks — any quantity from 1 to 500 per line item is orderable in the store, and the price updates live as you change the configuration. There is no order too small to take seriously and no order too large for our presses.
If you need a single sign tomorrow and there's a print shop two blocks from your office, walk there. A one-off rush job is exactly the case where a local counter beats anyone's production schedule, ours included.
Where we earn the work is the repeat run — the same sign across locations, or signage that has to match the cards, the vehicle magnets and the website. That's a brand system, and keeping it consistent is a different job from printing one sign.
First orders are backed by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee, and our mistakes — cutting, quality, color shift, delays — get fixed, period. Read the guarantee in plain English →

We'd rather lose an order than have a disappointed customer. Don't order from us if:
The standard lawn sign. Fluted plastic takes weather and sun without curling, and at this size it reads from a moving car. Order in multiples if you rotate locations — per-unit cost drops fast and a spare in the truck beats a reprint.
Shop this configuration →Rigid and light enough to sit on an easel all day without sagging. The matte face photographs without glare, which matters if the sign ends up in event photos. Keep it inside — humidity will warp the core.
Shop this configuration →If the same sign goes up in ten places, the per-unit price is where the savings live. Print one design at volume rather than ten one-offs, and keep the artwork generic enough that it doesn't need reprinting when a detail changes.
Shop this configuration →Here's the actual sequence when you order: your file is checked by a person before anything prints — resolution, bleed, safe zones. If something's wrong, you hear from us with a fix, not a reprint bill. Production runs on commercial presses, not office equipment. You get tracking when it ships. If a deadline is tight, we tell you whether we can hit it before you pay — we've turned down orders we couldn't deliver on time rather than take the money and miss.

Foam board is a rigid paper-faced foam panel — stiff, light, and smooth, built for indoor display. Coroplast is corrugated plastic, the fluted material lawn signs are made from — lighter, flexible, and waterproof. The short version: foam board looks better indoors, coroplast survives outdoors.
Coroplast. It's plastic through and through, so rain and humidity don't affect it, and the flutes let it take wind without tearing. Foam board has a paper face over a foam core — one good rain and the face separates and the panel warps, so it should stay indoors.
18×24 inches is the standard and it's standard for a reason — it's the smallest size that stays readable from a car at normal street speed. Go larger only if the sign sits well back from the road.
The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 500 per line item. Any quantity in that range is orderable in the store, and per-unit cost drops as quantity rises.
Most orders are produced and shipped within 2 business days — your exact turnaround is confirmed on the product page before you pay.
If it's our error — improper cutting, print quality, color or print shift, or printing delays — we fix it, period. First-time retail customers are also covered by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee. Full details are on our guarantee page.
