Yard signs are 4mm corrugated plastic and truck magnets are 30 mil magnet. Metal signs are rust-proof .040 aluminum, and decals are weatherproof 3M vinyl. Every product page lists its material, and everything is printed with weather-resistant inks.
No. Type what you want on the sign and upload your logo if you have one. The designer lays it out, and you approve the proof before anything prints.
Yes. You approve a proof of your design before anything prints, and nothing goes to the printer until you do.
Yes. Upload your logo in the designer and place it wherever you want it. A PNG with a transparent background or a PDF gives the cleanest edges.
You can upload PDF, PNG, JPG or WebP files up to 20 MB each, with up to 10 files per item.
If you upload your own file and want us to build the sign for you, a person on our team sets up the design and sends you a payment link when it's ready. Building it yourself in the online designer costs nothing extra.
Most orders are printed and out the door 24 to 48 hours after you approve the proof. Ground shipping usually takes another 1 to 5 business days, depending on where you are.
Yes. UPS Ground is free on every order shipped to the lower 48. Faster shipping and orders going to Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada are charged at checkout.
No. You can order as few as one. Type any quantity in the box on the product page, and the price per piece drops as the quantity goes up.
Yes. The price per sign drops as the quantity goes up, and the price grid on each product page shows every break.
Every order is custom made, so we can't take returns because you changed your mind. If your order arrives damaged or gets lost in shipping, we'll reprint it or refund you. Just send us your order number.
The 18" x 24" is the standard yard sign and the one you see on most lawns. Go 12" x 18" if you want to plant a lot of them on a budget, and go 24" x 24" for corner lots and signs that need to read from farther away.
Yes. They are printed on 4mm corrugated plastic that doesn't soak up water, and the UV ink holds its color in the sun.
Plan on a season of jobs. Corrugated plastic yard signs are built for months outside, so if a sign needs to stay up for years, get a metal sign instead.
Wire stakes are an add-on you pick when you order. The flutes in our yard signs run up and down, so the stake slides straight into the bottom edge.
If people will see the sign from both directions, like on a corner lot or a busy road, get double sided. The core is solid white, so the back side never shows through the front.
Yes. Die-Cut Yard Signs are cut around the outline of your logo or any shape you want, and they come single or double sided.
It only sticks to flat steel panels. Magnets won't hold on aluminum or fiberglass, and some newer trucks have aluminum doors, so test your door with a fridge magnet before you order.
Measure the flat part of the door between the body lines. The 12" x 24" fits a lot of pickup doors, the 12" x 18" suits smaller doors and cars, and the 18" x 24" works on big doors and vans.
Truck Door Magnets are 30 mil, which is made to hold at highway speed. Our fridge and giveaway magnets are thinner 20 mil, which is plenty for a fridge or file cabinet.
Put them on a clean, flat steel surface and keep them off body lines and trim. Pull them off once a week, wipe down the door and the magnet, and let both dry before you put it back.
Take them off first. The brushes and high pressure spray at an automatic car wash can catch an edge and pull a magnet loose.
It won't if you take care of it. Pull the magnet off regularly and wipe both the door and the back of the magnet dry, so dirt and moisture don't get trapped against the paint.
No. Rectangle, circle, square, oval and die-cut magnets are 20 mil and made for fridges and file cabinets. For a vehicle, order Truck Door Magnets.
Keep it to your logo and one phone number in big type. When the water heater quits, the customer should be able to read your number from across the kitchen.
Our decals are printed on calendered vinyl with UV ink made for outdoor use, and they last up to five years outdoors.
Yes. Clean the hard hat with rubbing alcohol and use a 2" or 3" decal so it sits flat on the curve. If your company has rules about stickers on hard hats, check with your safety manager first.
Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Peel the backing, start at one edge and press the decal down with a credit card as you go so air pushes out ahead of it.
Die-cut decals are cut all the way through, so each one comes loose in the shape of your logo. Easy-peel decals are cut through the vinyl only and stay on a backing sheet, which makes them faster to peel and easier to hand out.
Yes. Federal rules require commercial vehicles that need a USDOT number to show it on both sides of the vehicle, in a color that contrasts with the paint and big enough to read from 50 feet in daylight. Check your state for any extra requirements.
Warm it with a hair dryer for a minute, lift a corner with your fingernail and peel it back slowly at a low angle. Clean up any leftover adhesive with rubbing alcohol.
They last for years. They are printed on .040 aluminum, which doesn't rust, with UV ink rated for exterior use.
Add punched holes and rounded corners when you order, then hang it with two screws on a wall or post, or with zip ties on a fence or gate.
They are .055 polyethylene, a plastic that bends instead of cracking. It has UV inhibitors so it won't yellow outside, and it is rated for outdoor use.
