General Description:
Yard signs are
our specialty! In fact, since corrugated plastic is the only substrate we
screen print on for last 16 years, we feel that we are one of the best in the
country in this market! We print on heavy 4mm fluted polypropylene with
beautiful high gloss and durable UV inks, on a large range of standard sizes. (
from 6" x 24" to 4' x 8' )
We even print in Four color process! ( for a nominal
fee )
THE PLASTIC
The corrugated
plastic used in our yard signs is 4mm fluted polypropylene sheets. This
material is extremely tough yet very lightweight. It is completely water and
sun proof, and resists most stains and chemicals. Yard Signs made from this
product will last at least 1 year outdoors(many political campaigns have used
the yard signs and billboard signs for multiple campaigns) , far exceeding
the life of polycoated cardboard or bag signs. The flutes in the
plastic also allow for easy insertion of the wire stands, which increase the
strength of the sign greatly. In addition, the material used in the plastic is
recyclable.
UV INK
Our yard signs
are printed with UV-cured ink that has been designed specifically for outdoor
longevity on corrugated plastic. It has an extremely glossy and detailed
finish. This ink is manufactured to endure at least 12 months of continous
outdoor exposure, and to allow for plenty of flexing and bending. Our ink
comes in 22 standard colors and can be Pantone color matched to any of the
Pantone 1000 colors ( excluding neon and metallic colors). UV
inks produce beautiful four-color process (full color) work.
WIRE STANDS
Freedom Stands® brand
wire stands are available with our yard signs. These wire stands are
constructed of 9 gauge galvanized steel (largest that will fit into the flutes)
with two welded cross bars. They measure 10" wide by 30" high (this is optimal
width to reinforce the strength of the yard sign) and are boxed for shipment
100 to box.(see picture above) These stands are very easy to use. Just slide
the wires into the flutes of the plastic until the first crossbar meets, and
step down on the crossbar to push the stake into the ground. Beware of stands
from other companies that use no crossbars or only one wire, as these can be
very difficult to place into the ground and will not support your yard signs
effectively
ARTWORK
Our dealers must
provide Rapid Signs with an artwork file suitable for print work. We are able
to screen print most any artwork produced with a vector graphics program
(including four color process!!). We have now added Instant proofing technology
to our web site which instantly emails you a proof when you upload a file to
our server. This new sign proofing software works with our most common file
formats include Adobe Illustrator, Encapsulated Postscript and Adobe PDF files.
