You’ve likely seen them everywhere—those corrugated plastic signs perched on wire stakes, advertising sales, promoting events, or celebrating achievements like graduations. They’re the go-to for political campaigns and business promotions alike. Custom yard signs come in all shapes and sizes, from traditional squares and rectangles to unique shape-cut designs.
Now that you’re ready to create your own, you’re wondering: what size fits your needs best, and what are the available options? Let’s break it down and help you choose the perfect size for your custom yard sign!
Common Custom Yard Sign Sizes:
During election season, political yard signs are practically everywhere, dorring lawns and intersections in cities nationwide. The standard size for these signs is typically 18”H x 24”W—large enough to display a candidate’s name, the office they’re running for, and perhaps a brief message. This size works well with various display methods, such as wire stakes, metal frames, and grommets.
For candidates aiming to stand out, consider going beyond the typical size. Using a larger sign alongside your opponent’s standard-sized one can convey a sense of prominence, power, and popularity. Additionally, opting for an unconventional size or shape can give your campaign a fresh, eye-catching edge that grabs voters’ attention as they drive or walk by. It’s not just about delivering a message; it’s about delivering impact.
Another popular size for corrugated plastic yard signs is 12”H x 18”W, a smaller rectangle that’s perfect for budget-conscious customers with more concise messaging. This size is typically priced about a dollar less than the more common 18”H x 24”W option. It’s ideal for businesses or individuals who need to advertise or inform with a simple, clear message. These work great if you want to canvass your local city and place lawn signs with things that might say:

House Painting for Less

Another popular option is the 24”H 24”W square yard sign. This size is perfect for those who need a bit more space to convey their message without spending much more. With the extra room, you can incorporate an image, add a call to action like “Sale Ends Soon,” or include additional contact details. Realtors often choose this square design to differentiate themselves from the competition. The unique shape of the 24×24 sign can make a big impact, helping you stand out from the typical rectangular signs and offering a fresh visual approach It’s an effective way to capture attention and create a memorable impression.
Let’s shift focus to the 4’H x 8’W yard sign, which stands as a true giant in the world of signage. While technically still a yard sign, it’s often called a highway sign due to its larger-than-life size and visibility. This size is ideal for those looking to make a bold statement—whether for a political candidate with substantial backing or for businesses or events that want to capture attention from afar. Common placements for these mini-billboards include auctions, construction sites, and commercial properties, where they serve as powerful visual markers in high-traffic areas.
Custom Shape-Cut Yard Signs:
Earlier, we briefly touched on the concept of shape-cut signs. These are yard signs that break free from the typical rectangular or square design, offering a unique, customized shape. We craft these distinctive signs using a CNC router, a high-tech machine that allows us to precisely cut various shapes, enhancing the visual appeal and effectiveness of the sign. This method enables us to create truly eye-catching yard signs that stand out from the usual designs, whether for businesses, events, or personal use.
