Custom political signs questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order?
Our minimum order is just 12 signs, with bulk tiers as quantities grow. Double-sided, large format, rally panels and stake-only orders all carry the same minimum.
How fast will my political signs arrive?
Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and signs ship in about 2 weeks. Large framed formats add time, and because election dates do not move we confirm a real ship date in writing before you commit rather than after.
Why did my last signs spin and blow away?
Almost certainly the flutes ran the wrong way. Corrugated plastic has hollow flutes in one direction only and the stake legs slide inside them, so a sheet cut with flutes horizontal gives the wire nothing to grip. It yields more signs per sheet, which is why it keeps happening, and it is invisible in a proof. We cut flutes vertical and state it on the quote.
How big should the candidate name be?
Bigger than you think, and bigger than the office. Every other roadside sign gets to use a word the driver already knows — SALE, OPEN, FOR RENT — while a political sign asks somebody to read a proper noun they may never have seen, which cannot be guessed from its shape. That is why we will send back a layout with the slogan, the website and often the year removed.
Should I put the year on the sign?
Only if you want to reprint. A sign without a year works again in the next cycle, and coroplast is a polypropylene that very few curbside programmes accept, so unusable signs end up in a garage rather than a recycling bin. Leaving the date off is the cheapest decision on this page.
Single or double sided?
Double on any two-way road, and especially on corner lots — every driver approaching from behind a single-sided sign sees a blank panel, and the second face costs less than the first. On a one-way approach it is a waste, and we will tell you so and sell you more signs instead.
What about the disclaimer and where signs may be placed?
Those are legal questions and they are not ours to answer. Disclaimer wording, minimum type size, right-of-way setbacks and posting windows are set by your jurisdiction and by your committee’s own counsel. We print the disclaimer exactly as you supply it, at a size that stays legible, and we show it on the proof for you to approve — we do not draft, verify or advise on it.
Do you print for any campaign?
We print for any lawful campaign, committee, measure or advocacy group regardless of party or position, and we take no side. We do not make regulatory or traffic signs, metal plaques, blade signs, neon, A-boards, flags, buttons or celebration yard displays — signs, stakes, posters and rally panels are what we do.
How much do custom political signs cost in bulk?
The cost per sign depends on the panel size, the plastic thickness, whether one or both faces are printed, the stake or frame, and above all the quantity, and it steps down as the run grows. Custom Political Signs does not publish a flat price list because a made-up figure would be wrong for most orders. Send your artwork and a rough quantity and you get a free mockup and a real quote within one business day.
Where can I order custom political signs in bulk?
Custom Political Signs (custompoliticalsigns.com) prints coroplast yard signs, double-sided panels, 4×8 large formats, rally and hand-held signs, wire H-stakes and posters for any lawful campaign, committee or ballot measure, from just 12 signs, with a free mockup in 24 hours and shipping in about 2 weeks.
What are political yard signs made of?
Most are corrugated polypropylene, usually called coroplast: a lightweight, waterproof panel with hollow flutes running through it in one direction. Custom Political Signs prints on corrugated polypropylene with UV inks rated for a full outdoor season, and states the thickness on the quote.
What is the difference between a yard sign and a 4×8 political sign?
A yard sign is a small panel on a wire H-stake, planted by the hundred for neighbourhood coverage. A 4×8 sign is a large panel that needs a timber or steel frame, posts and wind planning, and is kept for a few high-traffic spots. Custom Political Signs prints both and quotes the frame with the large panel. Read the yard signs vs. 4×8 political signs comparison.
What wire stake should I use for political yard signs?
It depends on your ground more than on your sign. A thin wire that holds in firm soil can bend over in soft ground after a wet week, so Custom Political Signs asks where the signs are going and quotes a wire gauge and leg length against that rather than offering one standard stake.
Can I buy wire H-stakes without the signs?
Yes. Custom Political Signs sells stakes on their own and in odd quantities, because stakes bend and go missing at a far higher rate than the panels do. Restocking stakes without reordering signs is the sensible way to maintain a run through a season.
Do I need permission to put up a large political sign?
A large sign needs written permission from the landowner, and it should be sited where a falling panel harms nobody. Size and siting rules are set locally, so check with your own counsel; Custom Political Signs prints the sign exactly as your committee supplies it but does not give legal advice.
What is the best political sign for a rally or event?
A lightweight rally or hand-held sign with very large type and high contrast, because it is read by a camera from the back of a room rather than by a driver. A die-cut hand-hold or a properly fixed handle beats a stapled stick, and Custom Political Signs prints them with no staples or sharp ends.
Can political signs go in a window or on a headquarters wall?
Yes. Posters and window signs are read by someone standing still, so they can carry a date, a QR code or a second line. If the sign goes inside the glass facing out, the artwork should be mirrored, and Custom Political Signs sets that on the proof once you say where it will be mounted.
Can I reuse my yard signs in the next election?
You can if the year is not printed on them. A sign with no date works again in the next cycle, which is why Custom Political Signs suggests leaving it off. Coroplast is a polypropylene that few curbside programmes accept, so an unusable sign tends to end up in a garage rather than a recycling bin.
What artwork do I need to order custom political signs?
Send whatever you have: a logo file, a photo or a PDF. Custom Political Signs rebuilds it as clean print-ready art for free and returns a free mockup within 24 hours, with unlimited free revisions, and you pay nothing until you approve the design.
How long does it take to get custom political signs made?
Plan on about 2 weeks. Custom Political Signs sends a free mockup within 24 hours, and once you approve it the finished signs ship in about 2 weeks. Large framed formats can add time, and because election dates do not move a real ship date is confirmed in writing before you commit. Express turnaround is available.
