Directional Yard Signs
SKU: FRP-006
More about this product
A directional yard sign points drivers and buyers from the main road to an open house or a property for sale. Ours are printed on 4mm coroplast, in one colour or full colour on both sides, and are ordered in sets of 10 or more.
Coroplast is a fluted plastic board that is light to carry and easy to place, which suits signs that are put out and taken in again. Single colour keeps the cost down for a simple arrow and wording, and full colour suits a logo or photo.
Four sizes run from 12 x 16 in up to 18 x 24 in. Upload your own artwork, or choose the designer option and we will create it.

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 100 to 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 phone number, name and logo at least 1 in inside the trim. 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 exact size with bleed.
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
Both sides print on every sign. If the two sides are different, send two 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.
