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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
