Picking the right size for your custom yard signs can make the difference between getting noticed and getting ignored. The best size depends on where you plan to place them and how far away people will be when they read them.

Smaller signs like 12 by 18 inches work great for sidewalks, directional arrows, and areas with foot traffic. People walking by have more time to read, so a compact design works fine. These signs also cost less and fit well in tight spaces like flower beds or narrow lawns.

The standard 18 by 24 inch sign is our most popular size and the sweet spot for most projects. With large, bold lettering, it is easy to read from the street or a passing car. It balances visibility with affordability and fits standard H-stakes, so setup is quick and easy.

For busy intersections or long driveways, consider upgrading to 24 by 36 inches. This larger format grabs attention from drivers who only have a few seconds to read your message. Bigger signs may need heavier stakes or frames to stay upright in windy conditions. Our team can help you pick the right size based on your placement and budget.

When ordering custom yard signs, one of the first decisions you need to make is whether to print on one side or both sides. The right choice depends on where you plan to put your signs and who needs to see them.

Single-sided signs work best when your sign will sit against a wall, fence, or hedge where only one side is visible. They also make sense for tight budgets or spots where traffic only flows in one direction. You save a bit on printing, and the blank back stays hidden from view. Many businesses use single-sided signs for window displays or spots where the sign faces outward from a building.

Double-sided signs catch attention from both directions, which makes them ideal for front yards, corner lots, and event entrances. Since most yard signs sit perpendicular to the street, drivers and pedestrians see them from both sides throughout the day. A double-sided sign doubles your exposure without doubling your cost, and you only need one stake for installation.

For most lawn and roadside placements, double-sided printing is the better value. We offer both options and can help you decide which makes the most sense for your project.

Yard signs in Texas take a beating from sun, heat, and the occasional storm. We print on materials that can handle it, so your signs still look good weeks or months later.

Coroplast: Lightweight, affordable, and weatherproof. A good pick for events, sales, and anything short-term.

Aluminum: Heavier and longer-lasting. Better for real estate listings or signs that stay up for good.

We use UV-resistant inks so colors hold up in the Austin sun instead of fading out.

For mounting, we have everything from basic step stakes to heavy-duty frames that stay put when the wind picks up.

Whether it’s an open house in Travis Heights or a campaign sign on South Lamar, we will help you pick the right material and setup for how long your sign needs to last.

A great sign does not do much if nobody sees it. Where you put it matters just as much as what it says.

Start with traffic. A yard or lot near a stop sign, light, or busy corner works well, because drivers slow down long enough to read it. Keep signs clear of trees, parked cars, and anything else that blocks the view. Set them perpendicular to the road so people coming from both directions can see them.

Height and angle help too. Signs read best at about eye level or a little below. Angle the edges toward oncoming traffic instead of setting them flat along the curb. If you have a long stretch of frontage, put one sign at each end and one in the middle.

If your signs stay up for a while, move them around every few weeks. People stop noticing a sign they pass every day, and a new spot gets fresh eyes on it. Most cities, Austin included, restrict signs in medians and along the public right-of-way, so check the rules before you place them, and always ask before putting a sign on someone else’s property.
