Types of Rigid Signs

Coroplast Signs

Coroplast (corrugated plastic) is the go-to material for real estate, parking, election, event and fence signs. The 4 mm white board is lightweight, waterproof and tough, and it is UV printed for long-lasting outdoor use. Add grommets for hanging, or a 10″ × 30″ steel H-stake for lawns. Signs work with wire stakes and metal frames.

Aluminum Signs

The Aluminum Sign is our longest-lasting yard and parking sign: a .040 aluminum sheet that won't rust, made to last for years outdoors. Direct UV printing with a gloss coat suits parking, wall, warning and novelty signs. Choose a standard 12″ × 18″, 18″ × 24″ or 24″ × 36″ size, or a custom size.

Aluminum Composite (Sandwich Board)

The Aluminum Sandwich Board is two sheets of corrosion-resistant aluminum bonded to a polyethylene core (similar to Dibond). At 1/8″ thick, it is rigid, lightweight and weatherproof, fits most display stands and frames, and is great for real estate, fence and wall-mounted signs.

PVC Board

PVC Board (similar to Sintra) is a 1/8″ white expanded PVC board: lightweight, water resistant and slightly flexible, with a scratch-resistant print. It is made for long-term indoor and short-term outdoor signs, fits most sign frames and stands, and mounts easily on walls.

Foam Board and GatorFoam

Foam Board is a featherlight 3/16″ board with bright white faces for presentations, easels, framed signs and indoor posters. It is delicate and not waterproof, so it is for indoor use. GatorFoam has a foam core with tough wood-fiber faces, so it stays flat and resists dents, warping and bowing. It comes 3/16″ or 1/2″ thick, in white or black, and suits museum displays, trade show signs and presentations.

Custom Magnets

Our Magnets are UV printed on a high-strength 30 mil magnet, best known as car door signs and also used for temporary job-site signs. They are made from 6″ × 6″ up to 36″ × 96″, with square or rounded corners. Some newer car doors are aluminum or plastic, so check that yours is magnetic before ordering.

Where Rigid Signs Work Best

• Yards, events and elections: coroplast signs on H-stakes.
• Parking lots and buildings: aluminum signs for parking, warnings and directions.
• Fences and job sites: aluminum composite or coroplast with holes or grommets, and magnets for site vehicles.
• Offices and lobbies: PVC board on the wall, or in a frame or stand.
• Presentations, schools and trade shows: foam board on an easel, or GatorFoam where it must stay flat.

How to Choose Your Rigid Sign

• Indoor or outdoor: foam board and GatorFoam stay indoors; PVC handles short-term outdoor use; coroplast, aluminum and aluminum composite are made for outdoors.
• How long it stays up: coroplast is the economical choice for events and campaigns; aluminum and aluminum composite last for years.
• How it is mounted: on a stake (coroplast), on a fence or post (holes or grommets), in a frame or stand (1/8″ boards fit most), or on a vehicle (magnet).
• Weight: foam board and coroplast are very light to carry and hang.

Artwork Guidelines for Rigid Signs

• Send a JPG or a single-page PDF in CMYK color, at least 150 dpi at the final size.
• Build the artwork at the size you order, with no crop marks or bleed.
• Convert fonts to outlines and spot (Pantone) colors to CMYK.
• Keep important text at least 0.25″ from the edge, and away from holes and grommets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most durable outdoor sign material?

Aluminum. Our .040 aluminum signs won't rust, and aluminum composite also lasts for years outdoors. Coroplast is lighter and more economical for shorter use.

What is the difference between aluminum and aluminum composite?

An aluminum sign is a single thin sheet of aluminum. Aluminum composite is two aluminum sheets bonded to a plastic core, so it is thicker (1/8″) and stiffer, and fits most stands and frames.

Is foam board waterproof?

No. Foam board is for indoor use only. For outdoors, choose coroplast, aluminum or aluminum composite.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Enter any width and height from 6″ × 6″ up to 48″ × 96″, and the price updates with the size.

Will a car magnet stay on while I drive?

Our magnets use a high-strength 30 mil material. Apply them to a clean, flat steel panel and let the magnet settle on the vehicle overnight before driving.

Can I put a coroplast sign in my yard?

Yes. Add a 10″ × 30″ steel H-stake, which slides into the flutes of the board and pushes into soft ground.
