Custom Yard Signs Without Corrugated Plastic
Custom lawn and yard signs on recycled corrugated board with reusable wire stakes, as an alternative to corrugated plastic.

Details
Eco Friendly Printer prints custom yard signs on recycled corrugated board as an alternative to the corrugated plastic used for most lawn signs. Corrugated plastic signs are hard to recycle and often end up in landfill after a few weeks. A paper-based sign does the same job for open houses, grand openings, school events, graduations, fundraisers and seasonal promotions, and it can go in paper recycling when the event is over.
Sizes
- 18 x 24 in, the standard yard sign size
- 12 x 18 in, for directional and small signs
- 24 x 36 in, for signs read from the road
- Custom sizes and shapes
Materials and stakes
Signs are printed on recycled corrugated or honeycomb board and mounted on wire H-stakes, which can be pulled out and used again for the next sign. Paper-based signs are made for short-term use. If a sign needs to stay outside through weeks of rain, tell us when you request a quote and we will recommend a material that suits the conditions.
For signs and banners that hang or stand indoors and out, see signs and banners and biodegradable banners. For neighborhood marketing, see door hangers.
Designing a yard sign
Yard signs are read from a moving car, so keep the message to a few words with large, high-contrast type. A name, a short message and a phone number or web address is usually enough. Our banner size guide includes a rule of thumb for letter height and reading distance.
How ordering works
Send your artwork, the size, the quantity and how long the signs need to stay outside. We will confirm the material and give you a price and a schedule.
Common questions about yard signs
What is the standard yard sign size?
18 x 24 inches is the most common yard sign size.
Are cardboard yard signs waterproof?
Paper-based signs handle light weather for short events, but they are not made for weeks of rain. Tell us how long the signs will be outside and we will recommend a suitable material.
Can the stakes be reused?
Yes. Wire H-stakes can be pulled out and used again with new signs.
