A standard yard sign, also called a lawn sign, is 18 x 24 in, printed on 4mm corrugated plastic known as coroplast and set in the ground on a wire H-stake. At typical market prices checked October 2026, one single-sided sign costs about $18 to $27 without a stake, and a run of 100 costs about $3.50 to $4.50 a sign, or about $350 to $450 in total. Printing both sides adds roughly 20 to 55 percent.
Yard signs are used for campaigns, real estate, contractors, events, school and graduation messages and house numbers. The format is the same for all of them, and so are the choices that decide the price: quantity, sides and stakes.
What is a coroplast sign?
Coroplast is corrugated plastic: two thin plastic skins joined by a row of small channels, called flutes, much like plastic cardboard. It is light, waterproof and cheap to print, which is why it is the standard material for temporary outdoor signs. The 4mm thickness used for yard signs is stiff enough to stand in a lawn and thin enough for a wire stake to slide into the flutes.
| Material | Outdoor use | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 4mm coroplast | Yes, for temporary signs | Campaign, real estate, event and contractor signs |
| Aluminum | Yes, rust-proof and rated for permanent use | House numbers, parking and long-term property signs |
| PVC or Sintra | Interior and covered exterior | Signs under an awning or in a lobby |
| Foam board | Indoor only | Events and presentations |
How much do yard signs cost?
One 18 x 24 in coroplast sign costs about $18 to $27 single-sided and about $32 double-sided, and the price per sign drops sharply with quantity: from 1 to 100 signs it falls by roughly 80 percent.
| Quantity | Single-sided, each | Double-sided, each |
|---|---|---|
| 1 sign | about $18 to $27 | about $32 |
| 10 signs | about $12 to $13 | about $15 to $17 |
| 50 signs | about $5 to $7.50 | about $7 to $8 |
| 100 signs | about $3.50 to $4.50 | about $4 to $5.50 |
Prices shown are typical market prices for standard options, based on published prices from national print retailers and online printers, checked October 2026. They are a guide, not a quote. Prices are subject to change and do change with quantity, paper, finishing and turnaround, so contact us for an updated quote.
These ranges are based on published list prices at online sign printers such as Signs.com, BuildASign and Vistaprint, including Signs.com's yard signs and BuildASign's yard signs. They are per sign, at standard turnaround, before shipping and tax, and do not include stakes. BuildASign and Vistaprint were running sales when checked; the ranges use their list prices.
How much do campaign yard signs cost?
At 100 signs, campaign yard signs cost about $3.50 to $4.50 each single-sided and about $4 to $5.50 double-sided, plus stakes, at typical market prices checked October 2026. Ask for a quote on the real quantity rather than multiplying a small-run price.
Order early in the cycle and order once: two runs of 50 cost about $5 to $7.50 a sign, against $3.50 to $4.50 for a single run of 100, and signs matter most the week they go up. Campaigns that need union-printed signs can ask for the union bug. Our campaign printing guide covers the rest of the field kit, from palm cards to A-frames.
Do yard signs come with stakes?
Often not: many printers sell stakes separately, so check before you compare prices. The standard is a wire H-stake, whose two upper legs slide into the flutes of the sign and whose two lower legs go into the ground. At one online sign printer checked in October 2026, a standard wire stake added about $2 per sign.
Because the stake goes into the flutes, the flutes have to run up and down in the finished sign. Tell the printer which way the sign reads, horizontal or vertical, before it is cut.
Single-sided or double-sided?
Print both sides when the sign stands at an angle to the street, so traffic from either direction can read it. A sign flat against a fence or a wall only needs one side. Across the printers checked, the second side added roughly 20 to 55 percent to the price.
Will a yard sign hold up outdoors?
Yes, for temporary use. Coroplast does not soak up water the way cardboard or foam board does, so rain does not ruin it. Sun slowly fades printed color, and wind is the bigger risk: push both legs of the stake fully into the ground, and in exposed spots use two stakes or a heavier frame. For a sign that has to stay up for years, such as a house number or a parking notice, choose aluminum instead.
Do political yard signs need a "Paid for by" line in New York?
Not always. New York Election Law section 14-106 requires political committees to disclose who paid for a political communication, and printed communications carry the words "Paid for by:" followed by the committee's name. Subdivision 3 of the same section exempts promotional items of nominal value, and it names yard signs among its examples, when the content is limited to the name, office and a brief message of support.
A sign that carries more than that, such as a list of issues, does not meet the exemption's conditions as written. If you are unsure, check with your treasurer or counsel, or simply print the line; it costs nothing to add.
Placement has its own rule on election days. Under Election Law section 8-104, no political banner, poster or placard is allowed in a polling place or within a 100 foot radius of the entrances designated by the election inspectors while the polls are open. Get the property owner's permission before placing any sign, and check city rules before putting one on public property.
A common yard sign problem is a stake that will not go in. It happens when the sign is cut with the flutes running side to side, which leaves the H-stake nowhere to go. It is easy to avoid: when you send the artwork, say which edge is the top.
