Frequently asked
Yard sign questions, answered plainly.
One product, one material, one turnaround promise — most questions are about art files and dates.
How fast do yard signs ship?
Print-ready orders placed before 12pm PT on a business day go into production the same day. Anything after the cutoff starts the next business day. Delivery runs 2 to 5 business days after production depending on your distance from the plant.
What artwork specs do you need?
PDF, PNG or JPG at 100 DPI at full size, in CMYK where possible. Add 0.125 in bleed and keep all text at least 0.5 in inside the trim. Our artwork guidelines page has downloadable templates for all three sizes.
Are the stakes really included?
Yes. One galvanized H-stake per sign at no extra charge on every size and quantity. Most print sites charge about $2 a stake separately.
How do I install the stake?
Slide the two prongs of the H-stake into the vertical flutes on the bottom edge of the sign, then step the stake into the turf. No tools needed. In hard or frozen ground, wet the spot first or start the slot with a screwdriver.
How long do the signs last outside?
4mm coroplast with UV inks holds up 12 or more months of normal outdoor exposure. Rain, sprinklers and heat are not a problem. Extreme wind can bend a stake, so double-stake signs on exposed corners.
Can I order more than 250 signs?
Yes. Use the bulk and political orders page for 250+ quantities and campaign season pricing, and we return a quote with production timing the same business day.
Do I get a proof before printing?
Print-ready files go straight to press so we can hold the same-day cutoff. If you choose free design help, we email a proof for your approval before anything prints.
How much is shipping?
Flat $9.95 per order, free on orders of $99 or more. Larger runs ship in multiple cartons at no extra charge to you.
What is your return policy?
Yard signs are custom printed and cannot be resold, so we do not accept general returns. If a sign arrives with a print defect, wrong size or damage, we reprint the affected quantity free within 14 days of delivery.
Can you set the design up for me?
Yes, at no charge. Check the design help box in the configurator, upload your logo and type your text. We lay it out, email a proof and print on approval.
Do political signs need a disclaimer?
Most jurisdictions require a paid-for-by line on campaign signage, and local rules govern placement and removal dates. Include your disclaimer in the artwork you send. We print what you supply and do not add or verify disclaimers.
Still not covered?
