I've designed a custom sign for a renovation contractor. It's 30" high by 24" wide. I've got a large format printer (epson 7500) where I can print it in vinyl. What's a good off-the-shelf system for making it a yard sign?

should this yard sign price assume that the design you did is already paid for?

is it a wood sign? or aluminum?

is there a frame or posts included?

one side or 2?

The design I've done is paid for. It can be wood for aluminum, which ever works out best. A frame or a post is included and it's one sided.

get some dibond for background
then buy some 4x4 plastic fence posts
slot the posts with a plunge router ..
the router should be the same size as dibond
slip the dibond in the slots
and finish assembly with cesk screws coming
in from the back

Its a one day post and panel system that looks
nice and holds up well....

I can't picture what you are talking about. Do you have some images?

Thank you.

Make the signs out of a thin aluminum, do a full faced digital print and knock them on a single 2X4 post painted white with a couple of sheetrock screws.

One sided...no need for 2 post system and you can run a post up the center of the back.
Aluminum is rigid enough to hold up.
A 2X4, buried deep enough, should withstand wind.
Won't weigh a whole lot and should be easy to move/store.

Concentrate the quality into the image, not what holds it up.

Mark I think this is what Michael is talking about. I could be wrong......again!

Not sure which way he is putting the screws in.
