Commercial Signs
SKU: FRP-005
More about this product
A commercial sign is a large, full-colour sign for a commercial property, built to be seen from a distance. Ours are printed on Coroplast or aluminum composite panel in four sizes, single- or double-sided.
Built for larger commercial properties, these signs run from 48 x 48 in up to 96 x 144 in, on 4mm or 10mm Coroplast or 3mm aluminum composite panel. They can be single-sided, or double-sided with the same or a different design on each side, with a gloss lamination.
The two largest sizes are produced as multiple sheets: 2 sheets for 96 x 96 in and 3 sheets for 96 x 144 in.

Low-resolution files
Images saved from a website, social media or a screenshot are usually too small and print blurry or pixelated. Build your file at the full size you ordered, at a resolution of At least 150 dpi, or start from a high-quality original. Stretching a small image to fit does not add detail.
Uploading RGB instead of CMYK
Screens use RGB, but printing uses CMYK. An RGB file will still print, but colours can shift, especially reds and bright blues. Set your file to CMYK before you export so what you approve is closer to what prints.
No bleed
If your background or image runs to the edge, extend it 0.125 in past the trim on every edge so a thin white edge does not show after trimming.
Text or logos too close to the edge
Keep important text clear of the trim edges. Anything closer to the edge can be trimmed off or look cramped.
Wrong size or scale
Build the file at the full size you ordered, at 100%, not a smaller size scaled up. The free template on the Templates tab shows the right size, bleed and safe area for each size.
Live fonts and transparency
Convert fonts to outlines and flatten transparency and layers, so nothing changes or goes missing when we open your file.
Both sides in one file
Different design on each side? Separate files, or a two-page PDF labelled front and back.
Unsupported file types
We accept PDF, AI, PSD, PNG or JPG, up to 25MB. Other file types, such as EPS or TIFF, cannot be uploaded.
