What is the difference between your plastic, metal and acrylic signs?

Take a look at the differences between each of the signs below: __Plastic signs:__ 10 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Weatherproof, corrugated plastic Full-color printing Best for: Construction sites & directional signage __Metal signs:__ 10 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Brushed or coated white aluminum UV-ink printing Best for: Stores & building exteriors __Acrylic signs:__ 8 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Clear or frosted acrylic UV-ink printing Best for: Reception areas & offices

How thick is the plastic material for your PVC signs?

We offer our custom PVC plastic signs in 2 different thicknesses: 3 mm and 6 mm. Our 3 mm signs are a great, low-cost outdoor option and are thick enough to withstand most weather. Our 6 mm option is best for harsher weather conditions and is a more durable outdoor rigid sign.

How many drilled holes will my custom plastic sign come with? How big are they?

Our 2 largest sizes, 24" x 24" and 24" x 36", will come with 6 holes. (1 in each corner, plus 2 in the middle). The other (smaller) 8 sizes will come with 4 (1 in each corner). The middle of each hole is 5/8" from the edge of the sign. The diameter of each hole is 3/8". Keep in mind that they are not automatically included, so don’t forget to select “Drilled Holes” before you start designing to have them custom made.

How do I clean and protect my plastic sign?

Our plastic signs can be easily cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. If you plan on installing your signs outside, make sure you clean them regularly. If possible, install them in areas that get limited direct sunlight and wind. This will extend the life of your sign. Depending on the size of your signs, store them flat and in a non-weight bearing manner to avoid bending and breaking when not in use.

How do I get the best print results for my plastic sign boards?

For the clearest and sharpest plastic sign prints possible, we recommend signs larger than 12" x 12" have a font size of at least 22pt and high-resolution images. This will ensure that your signs look their best from 4 or more feet away.

How durable are your custom PVC signs?

When properly cared for, our custom plastic signs can last up to 5 years. However, continued and constant exposure to the elements (like direct sunlight, wind and rain) can shorten this lifespan. Additionally contact with sharp objects can scratch or damage the plastic sign and reduce the lifespan.

Can I order custom shapes for my plastic signs?

Yes. We offer custom shapes to help your design stand out. Just upload your artwork with the desired shape included. Please note that custom shape orders are upload only and do not include drilled holes.

Good quality

The quality was great but it needs to be noted that all vehicles are not made of metal so car magnets don't always work.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thanks for your review submission! We’re glad to hear you were happy with the quality. We do have the information displayed on the product page of our website, which encourages customers to ensure their magnet is applied to a magnet-compatible part of your car, like the door. (Not sure if your car is magnet-compatible? Test it first with a refrigerator magnet. If it sticks, you’re good to go. If not, try our car door decals.) Also, make sure your vehicle surface is smooth, clean, and dust-free. To protect your vehicle, remove and reapply your magnet every 2-3 days. Clean the back of the magnet and surface weekly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any additional product or design-related queries. We're here to help.
