Step 1 – Choose Material
Political signage beginner’s guide content often starts with one key question: How long do you plan on having your sign outdoors? Assuming your signs are for outdoor use, it is important to know the expected exposure life.
2-3 months – Poly Coated Cardboard material or Corrugated Plastic would be suitable.
Poly Coated Cardboard is a milk carton stock when used as a fold-over yard sign, exhibits no show-through.
Corrugated Plastic is a 4mm fluted material that has some show-through.
6 months or longer – Corrugated Plastic or Aluminum recommended.

Step 2 – Choose a Sign Size
What sign size do I need?
Where do you principally want to locate your signs? Smaller signs are adequate (and sometimes mandated) in urban neighborhoods. On busy commercial streets, larger signs, however, would be more noticeable. Large billboard signs are most effective in rural areas. The table below will help you make your selection:

Step 4 – Choose Ink Colors
I already have campaign colors: Can you use them?
Visit our INK COLOR Gallery for a list of our standard inks, which may be close matches . Specify PMS color, and we can match for a small fee. Should I print a 1-color sign or a 2-color sign?
The choice of colors would depend on the budget. A 1-color sign would be less expensive than a 2-color sign. But 1 color is usually less effective. Or visit our Resources page for TIPS and helpful guidance on sign colors. If you have a logo, we would recommend you print it in the same number of colors on your signs – logo recognition is very important. Here, full color process digital printing is recommended. (White does not count as a color – our stock is white.)
