Corrugated plastic yard signs with wire stakes installed in a suburban lawn

A yard sign has one job: get read from a moving car.

A driver gives your sign two or three seconds, so the panel, the inks, and the layout all have to cooperate. MPA has been a full-service print and mail provider since 1989, and yard signs are among the most reordered products on our quote desk: affordable enough to scatter across a county, durable enough to keep working months later. The sections below cover the material, the sizes, the price levers, and the ordering process, so the quote you request is the one you actually need.

Specified for outdoor service

4mm corrugated plastic panels with UV-stable inks that hold their color through 6 to 12 months of full Florida sun. Waterproof, lightweight, and stiff enough to stand flat on a wire stake.

Design help when you need it

Design services start at $50 for simple layouts like yard signs, and every order includes a free digital proof. Nothing prints until you approve it, whether you sent finished files or a logo and a phone number.

Credentials your clients recognize

MPA is a Veteran-Owned Small Business, SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and HIPAA-compliant, with 5.0 stars across 100+ verified Google reviews. Those controls cover every job we run, including a box of twenty signs.

Built on 4mm coroplast.

Coroplast is corrugated plastic: two flat faces over a fluted core, the same construction as cardboard but extruded in polypropylene that shrugs off rain. It is the industry standard for yard signs because nothing else delivers this much readable surface, outdoors, for this little money.

Single sided

Full color on one face. The economical default when every reader approaches from the same direction.

Best for: fence lines, windows, walls, and one-way streets.

Double sided

The same panel printed on both faces, available at a modest upcharge. Staked perpendicular to the street, it reads in both directions of travel.

Best for: corner lots, roadsides, open lawns, two-way traffic.

Wire H-stakes

Galvanized wire frames that push into the ground and slide up into the panel flutes. No tools, about ten seconds per sign. Optional, quoted as their own line item.

Best for: lawns, soft ground, and event grass; skip them for fences and windows.

Outdoor life comes down to ink. Yard signs are printed with UV-stable inks formulated to hold color in direct sun, which is the difference between a sign that is still red in month nine and one that turned pink by August. Plan on 6 to 12 months of full-time outdoor service from a coroplast panel in Florida conditions; used indoors or stored between seasons, the same sign lasts for years. The panel itself is waterproof and will not rot, swell, or warp in rain, so fading, not failure, is what eventually retires it.

Weight is the quiet advantage. A coroplast panel is light enough that one person carries a full open-house kit under one arm, light enough that a case of campaign signs rides in a sedan trunk, and light enough that shipping a hundred panels across the state stays reasonable. The fluted core is what makes that possible: it gives the sheet its stiffness the way corrugation stiffens a shipping box, so the panel stands flat in wind without the weight of solid plastic. Handle them by the edges, stack them face to face, and the printed surface arrives at the curb the way it left the proof.

One production detail worth knowing: when your order includes stakes, panels are cut so the flutes run vertically. The flutes are the channels the stake prongs slide into, so flute direction decides whether a sign mounts in seconds or fights you in the field. It is handled automatically on staked orders; if you are ordering panels only and plan to add your own hardware later, say so in the quote request.

And when coroplast is the wrong answer, we will say so. A sign that needs to look sharp for years, a brokerage post sign, permanent site identification, should step up to aluminum: aluminum real estate signs start at $15 and resist dents, rust, and sun damage far longer than plastic. Coroplast is the right call for campaigns, seasons, and projects; aluminum is the right call for years.

Coroplast vs. the alternatives.

Three other materials get asked about in the same conversations. Each one owns a different job, and picking by job beats picking by price.

Foam board

Rigid, light, and clean-edged, but strictly indoor. One rainstorm turns a foam board sign into a science experiment. Use it for lobby easels and presentation boards, never for the lawn.

Own it when: the sign lives indoors on an easel.

Aluminum composite

The permanent-signage grade: 5+ year outdoor life, dent and rust resistance, and a flat face that stays flat. Aluminum real estate signs start at $15 and suit post frames and rider clips.

Own it when: the sign must look sharp for years, not months.

Vinyl banner

When the location is a fence or a wall and a stake cannot go in the ground, a banner is the answer: from $3.99/sq ft with hem and grommets included, in sizes no coroplast panel can match.

Own it when: the message mounts to a surface instead of standing in soil.

Standard Sizes

The right size is the one legible from the street.

Sizing follows a simple rule of thumb: one inch of letter height per 10 feet of viewing distance. Pick the panel that gives your message room at the distance it will actually be read.

18" x 24"

the standard

The default yard sign. Room for a name, a number, and an arrow at drive-by distance, and the size volume pricing is built around.

Best for: campaigns, open houses, contractors, most orders.

12" x 18"

the compact

A smaller panel for shorter viewing distances: walkways, event routes, and neighborhoods where sign area is capped.

Best for: directional arrows, walkways, tight placements.

24" x 36"

the large panel

Larger coroplast panels in this class are common for real estate and political district markers, where one sign has to carry a corner.

Best for: corners, project sites, event entrances.

Custom sizes

to your spec

Need to match an existing frame, a rider slot, or an odd mounting spot? Coroplast cuts cleanly to custom dimensions; tell us the finished size you need.

Best for: matching existing kits and unusual placements.

Do the arithmetic before you commit. At 30 feet, the rule calls for 3-inch letters; a passing driver 60 feet away needs 6-inch letters, which on an 18" x 24" panel means a name and a number and nothing else. Cramming extra copy onto a small sign is the most common design mistake we see, and it makes the sign useless at its real viewing distance. One message, one action, big type.

Hierarchy does the rest of the work. Put the name or offer in the largest type, the action (a phone number, an arrow, a date) second, and move everything else off the panel entirely. High contrast wins outdoors: dark type on a light panel, or light type on a saturated brand color, stays readable in glare and at dusk. For directional sets, keep the arrow on the same side of every panel so drivers learn the pattern by the second sign. If two messages genuinely matter, that is two signs, not one crowded panel.

Orders can mix sizes freely. A typical open house kit pairs a couple of 18" x 24" mains with a run of 12" x 18" directionals, and a campaign might add a handful of 24" x 36" panels for the corners that matter most. The quote itemizes each size on its own line, so mixing does not turn the price into a puzzle.

Not sure which size fits the spot? Send a photo of the location with your quote request and we'll recommend one.

What drives the price of a sign.

Yard signs start at $8 each, and most orders land between $8 and $15 per sign once size, sides, and quantity are set. Four levers move the number. Quotes are itemized line by line and usually come back within one business day.

Quantity

the biggest lever

Volume pricing kicks in at 5+ signs and keeps stepping down. Campaigns and brokerages regularly order 100-500+ at bulk rates.

Price moves with: how many panels run together.

Sides

one face or two

Single sided is the baseline. Double sided adds a modest upcharge per sign and doubles who can read it when placed perpendicular to traffic.

Price moves with: which placements need both faces.

Stakes

optional hardware

Wire H-stakes are quoted as their own line item, so a 100-sign order with 60 ground placements only buys 60 stakes.

Price moves with: how many signs go in the ground.

Turnaround

standard or rush

Standard production runs 2-3 business days from proof approval. Rush production for next-day or same-day needs is available at an additional fee.

Price moves with: the calendar you are working against.

How to read the quote. Every yard sign quote is itemized so the levers stay visible: one line for panels at your quantity, one for double-sided printing if you chose it, one for wire H-stakes at the count you asked for, one for design if we are building the artwork, and one for shipping or delivery. Nothing is bundled into a mystery number, which means you can trim the quote yourself. Drop the stakes on the 40 signs headed for windows, or move 50 panels from double to single sided, and watch the line items move instead of guessing what changed.

Why a quote instead of a cart? Because the cheapest version of a sign order is usually a conversation away. A brokerage about to click through 200 single-sided panels gets asked whether the corners they stake are two-way streets. A campaign ordering five waves gets one program price instead of five small-batch prices. The quote desk catches the savings a cart never would, and it still comes back within one business day.

Ordering for a campaign or a brokerage? Bulk yard sign orders are quoted as a program: panels, stakes, and the delivery plan in one itemized number. There is no minimum to start, and the per-sign price at 250 looks nothing like the per-sign price at 5. Tell us the total and how it splits across offices or precincts.

Setting up your file.

We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPG/PNG files. Vector art is the gold standard for signs: a logo saved as vector scales to any panel size with zero quality loss, so the same file that printed your business cards prints sharp at 24" x 36". For raster files, supply artwork at actual print size at 150 DPI or better, and push toward 300 DPI for signs that will be read up close, like walkway directionals.

Two setup habits prevent most reprints. First, extend background color or imagery a quarter inch past every edge as bleed, so the finished trim never shows a sliver of white. Second, keep text and logos comfortably inside the trim line and size the type for the viewing distance, not the proof on your monitor. If any of that sounds like work you would rather not do, skip it: send what you have, and design services from $50 take it the rest of the way, with a free digital proof either way.

Expect color to shift slightly between screen and panel. A backlit monitor mixes light while a printed sign reflects it, so the brand red on your laptop and the red staked in a lawn are cousins, not twins. For color-critical work, a campaign matching a party palette or a brokerage matching franchise colors, send the color reference with your files and review it on the digital proof before approving. Saturated, high-contrast color combinations also survive outdoor glare better than subtle ones, which is one more reason yard sign design rewards boldness over nuance.

Reorders are one step. Your file and specs stay on record, so when the next open house, project, or season comes around, a reprint is a single message: same sign, new quantity. Recurring customers skip the setup conversation entirely and go straight to a proof and a ship date.

In the ground in ten seconds.

No tools, no hardware kit, no instructions sheet anybody reads. A wire H-stake and a fluted panel assemble by hand, which is exactly why volunteers and weekend crews can place hundreds in a morning. The few habits below are the difference between signs that stand straight for months and signs that lean by Tuesday.

Stake it right

Push both prongs fully into the soil, then slide the panel down onto the upper frame so the flutes swallow the wire and the panel seats on the crossbar. Florida's sandy soil takes a stake easily after rain; in dry hardpan, wet the spot first and the prongs go in clean. A fully seated stake is what keeps the panel upright through an afternoon thunderstorm.

Place for the eye

Face single-sided panels square to oncoming traffic, and stand double-sided panels perpendicular to the street so both directions read them. Keep signs out of the public right-of-way and clear of the sight triangle at corners, both for the code and because a sign blocking a driver's view earns complaints instead of calls.

Takedown & storage

Panels hose clean of dirt and pollen, stack flat, and store dry; a sign that worked one season is usually ready for the next. Pull the stakes, nest the wire frames, and label the box by event so March finds the signs February put away. Outdoors a panel gives 6 to 12 months; stored well, the working life stretches across years of reuse.

One scheduling note for crews: plant after rain when the ground is soft, and walk the route in the order traffic drives it, not the order that is convenient to park. A sign placed from the driver's point of view ends up angled the way a driver actually sees it, which is the whole point of the exercise.

Where yard signs earn their keep.

Six kinds of buyers we print signs for, and how each one uses them.

Real estate →

Open house weekends live and die on directional signs: 18" x 24" panels with arrows for the route in and spares in the trunk for the next address. Double sided is the default so both directions of traffic catch the listing, and bulk pricing keeps the per-agent cost low enough to treat signs as consumables.

Political campaigns →

Still the most visible unit of local campaigning, and Florida statute 106.1437 protects them on private residential property during election cycles. Campaigns order 100-500+ at bulk rates, double sided, with stakes bundled for volunteer crews and a reserve box for replacements.

Contractors & job sites

A job site sign works every daylight hour the project runs. Stake a panel at the curb the day work starts and collect calls from the neighborhood for months. UV-stable inks keep the phone number legible through a full project cycle, and the panel hoses clean of dust and mud.

Events & wayfinding

Races, festivals, carnivals, and church events run on wayfinding: parking this way, registration here. The 12" x 18" panel with an arrow is the workhorse, staked at every decision point. Signs store flat between annual events, so most organizers reuse the generic directionals and reorder only the dated pieces.

Schools & nonprofits →

Enrollment season, fundraiser kickoffs, senior recognition, donor thank-yous. Schools and nonprofits order in waves that map to the calendar, volume pricing at 5+ fits batch ordering naturally, and design services from $50 keep the artwork consistent even after last year's volunteer moves on.

Grand openings & retail

A new location needs the street to notice before the permanent sign goes up. Opening-week yard signs at the corners, paired with a banner across the storefront, put the date in front of every car that passes. Afterward, the same panels work for sales events and seasonal pushes.

Signs work harder with mail behind them. The sign owns the street; a postcard owns the mailbox. Real estate agents pair open house directionals with a just-listed mailing to the surrounding blocks, campaigns drop literature into the same precincts where the signs stand, and grand openings follow the corner signs with an offer card to nearby households. Because MPA quotes postcard printing and mailing alongside signs, the same message can hit the street and the mailbox in the same week, on one invoice, from one vendor.

Know the rules before you plant.

Sign placement in Florida is governed three layers deep: state law, municipal code, and HOA covenants. Five minutes of checking beats a weekend of pulled-up signs.

Residential yard signs are allowed under state law, but cities and HOAs routinely impose size, height, and quantity limits. In Lakeland, for example, the city code allows residential yard signs up to 6 square feet of total face area per residence, not per sign, with a maximum height of 4 feet from grade and a setback of at least 10 feet from the street right-of-way. Other Central Florida municipalities run similar numbers with their own wrinkles, and setbacks tighten near intersections for sight-line safety.

Political signs get distinct treatment: Florida statute 106.1437 and federal speech protections cover political yard signs on private residential property during election cycles, though cities can still regulate placement on public right-of-way, and post-election takedown windows of about 30 days are common. Real estate signs are exempt from most limits but generally must come down within 7 days of closing. HOAs hold separate authority under chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes and can be far stricter than the city, including outright bans on commercial signs.

Commercial property is its own track. Business signage on commercial parcels runs under separate sign code rules that depend on zoning and frontage, and permanent commercial signs typically need a permit; in Lakeland, the city's Building Inspection Division issues them. A temporary coroplast sign announcing an opening usually lives under the temporary-sign provisions, which cap how long it can stay up. If your sign is going on a storefront parcel rather than a residential lawn, read the temporary signage section of the local code first, or ask the property manager what the center already allows.

The practical playbook: check the city sign ordinance and any HOA covenants before a bulk order, keep signs off the public right-of-way and out of the sight triangle at corners, and put a volunteer or crew member in charge of takedown dates. The signs are the cheap part; the code violations and confiscated panels are the expensive part. If you are unsure about a specific placement plan, describe it in your quote request and we will flag anything that looks like a problem before you print 500 of them.

Yard sign questions, answered.

The eight questions the quote desk hears most, with the same answers we give on the phone.

A 4mm coroplast yard sign printed with UV-stable inks typically lasts 6 to 12 months outdoors in Florida conditions: full sun, daily humidity, and summer storms. The panel itself is waterproof and does not rot or swell, so the practical limit is gradual fading from sun exposure rather than structural failure. Signs used indoors, or stored between seasons, last for years. If you need signage measured in years instead of months, aluminum is the better buy; aluminum real estate signs start at $15.

Order single sided when the sign sits against a wall, fence, or window, or when every reader approaches from one direction. Order double sided when the sign stands in open ground with traffic passing both ways: a corner lot, a roadside, a walkway approach. Double-sided printing adds a modest upcharge per sign, and for placements perpendicular to traffic it roughly doubles the number of people who can read the message. Most political and real estate orders run double sided for exactly that reason.

The standard is a galvanized wire H-stake: two prongs push into the ground and the upper frame slides up into the flutes of the coroplast panel. No tools, about ten seconds per sign. Stakes are optional rather than automatic, because plenty of signs zip-tie to fences or sit in windows and never touch grass. Tell us how many stakes you need with your quote request and they appear as their own line item, so you only pay for hardware you will actually use.

Yes. Volume pricing kicks in at 5+ signs, and the unit cost keeps stepping down from there. Political campaigns and real estate brokerages regularly order 100-500+ yard signs at bulk rates, and we quote those runs as a program rather than a pile of one-offs. There is no minimum to start: order two signs for a single open house if that is what the weekend calls for. Tell us the quantity and whether stakes ride along, and the quote comes back itemized.

Yes. Design services start at $50 for simple layouts like yard signs, which covers layout, typography sized for drive-by reading, and file prep to print spec. Send your logo, the message, and any color references, and a designer builds the sign and returns a proof. Every order, design-assisted or not, includes a free digital proof, and nothing prints until you approve it. Most design turnaround is 1-2 business days.

Standard yard sign orders are ready in 2-3 business days from proof approval. Rush production is available for next-day or same-day needs at an additional fee, which matters when an open house moved up or a campaign event landed on short notice. The quote confirms the schedule before anything runs, so the date is committed, not guessed. If your event date is fixed, mention it up front and we will build the timeline backward from the day the signs go out.

We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPG/PNG files. Vector files are the gold standard because logos and text scale cleanly to any sign size. For raster files, supply artwork at actual print size at 150 DPI or better; 300 DPI is ideal for signs read up close. Extend background color or imagery a quarter inch past every edge as bleed, and keep text comfortably inside the trim. Not print-ready? Send what you have and design services from $50 take it the rest of the way.

Both. Yard signs ship flat via UPS, FedEx, or freight depending on order size, anywhere in Florida and nationwide to all 50 states. Local pickup is available in Lakeland at 430 N Wabash Ave during business hours, and free delivery within Polk County applies on orders over $200. Stakes ship bundled alongside the panels. For bulk campaign orders headed to multiple offices or county committees, ask about splitting the shipment when you request the quote.
