Yard signs are a fantastic way to capture attention and convey important information, fast. 

To guarantee you make the best choice for your needs, here are the top five things you need to know about yard signs.

1. Sides: Double the Sides, Double the Impact

When it comes to yard signs, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether to go for single-sided or double-sided prints. 

At Reimold, we always recommend double-sided signs. Why? Because they maximize visibility from all angles, ensuring your message is seen no matter which direction people are coming from!

All of our yard signs, including Coroplast, Polyboard, and Polybag signs, come with the same artwork printed on both sides. This way, you can be sure your message stays consistent and easy to read. 

Double-sided signs are especially useful if you plan to place your sign in a high-traffic area and want to make the most of every viewing opportunity.

2. Stakes: The Unsung Heroes

Stakes might not be the flashiest part of your yard sign setup, but they play a crucial role in making sure your signs stay put! 

At Reimold, we include stakes with all Coroplast yard signs and Polyboard signs. These stakes make installation quick and easy, allowing you to place your signs securely in the ground.

For larger Coroplast signs, like those used for road signs, we include grommets instead of stakes. Grommets allow you to hang the signs more securely if they’re intended to be displayed on fences, posts, or walls. 

No matter which type of sign you choose, we’ve got you covered with the right support!

3. Design: Keep It Simple, Make It Stand Out

Design is where your creativity can really shine, but there are a few key tips to keep in mind so your yard sign has maximum impact:

• Simplicity Wins | Less is more when it comes to yard sign design. A busy sign can confuse your audience and scramble your message. Aim for a clean, clear design that communicates your message at a glance.
• Compliance Matters | Make sure your design complies with local or state ordinances. This could include specific font sizes or requirements for legibility. At Reimold, we work with you to make sure each sign meets these requirements based on our knowledge of local regulations.
• Elaborate Designs | Yes, it’s tempting to go “all out” with elaborate designs, but remember: overly complex signs can result in a mixed message. Focus on a straightforward design that highlights key information.

4. Quantity: Know What You Need

The number of signs you need will significantly influence the type of signage that’s right for your campaign. At Reimold, we don’t do partial orders, so it’s important to know how many signs you’ll need in total.

• Coroplast Signs | Ideal for up to 500 signs, Coroplast is durable and cost-effective for medium-sized campaigns. For larger quantities, we use multiple boxes for easy transport and storage.
• Polybag Signs | If you’re looking at 1,500 signs or more, Polybag is a great option. Polybags are economical and logistically feasible, with thousands of signs fitting into a single box for convenience.
• Polyboard Signs | For a more premium option, Polyboard signs are available in common sizes like 23 x 14 ½ inches. They’re screen printed, laminated on one side, and come pre-assembled. For orders of a thousand, expect to invest around $5,000.

5. Turnaround Time: Plan Accordingly

Turnaround time can vary based on the type of sign and the quality you’re looking for. At Reimold, we always provide an estimated completion time when you place your order. Factors influencing turnaround include:

• Coroplast Signs | Generally quicker to produce and a popular choice for many campaigns.
• Polyboard Signs | Take a bit longer due to the additional finishing touches and assembly.
• Polybag Signs | Known for their speedy production and cost efficiency.

By planning ahead and considering these factors, you can make sure your yard signs are ready when you need them, and deliver the impact you’re aiming for!
