Yard Signs
Yard signs printed and cut the same afternoon
Yard signs near me is one of the more urgent searches we hear about, because a sign that misses a Saturday open house is a wasted weekend for the agent standing in front of an empty lawn. We keep this simple. Send us the file, or the address and the photo if you want us to build it, and we will have a corrugated plastic sign cut and ready the same afternoon most of the time. A Keller Williams agent working the Encino and Tarzana corridor has us running his open house and just listed signs on a regular rotation, and we keep his file on record so a reorder is a phone call.
Most yard signs we print are 18 by 24 inches on corrugated plastic, printed on our wide format equipment that handles material up to 60 inches, with an H-stake sold separately or supplied by the agent. We also print the smaller rider signs that clip under the main frame, the ones that say open house or reduced price, in the same run so the whole set matches in color and font. Coroplast holds up fine through a rainy weekend and through the wind that comes down through the Sepulveda Pass, which matters if a sign has to stand for more than a day or two.
The file problems we see most on yard sign orders are logos saved too small to blow up cleanly and phone numbers set in a font too thin to read from a moving car. We check every file before it prints and send a PDF proof, and if the design needs a fix, our in house graphic design team can make the call legible without waiting on a back and forth. Real estate sign printing has one job, getting read at forty miles an hour, and a proof catches problems a screen at normal size never will.
A rush order for a Sunday open house that lands Friday afternoon is still workable most weeks, so call before you assume it is too late. We deliver anywhere in the Valley, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, North Hollywood and Burbank, on the van that runs out around 2 PM.

Yard Signs we printed for Valley businesses



Ordering yard signs
What agents in the Valley order most
Real estate agents make up most of our yard sign business, and the order almost always comes with two or three riders, open house, price reduced, sold, so the same frame works through the whole life of a listing. We keep the agent's headshot, phone number and brokerage logo on file once it is set up correctly, so a new listing just means a new address and a new photo, not rebuilding the sign from scratch. That file stays with us for reorders, no account or card needed to get a quote, and no minimum on how many you order at once.
Contractors and small businesses order yard signs too, mostly for a job site in Woodland Hills or a sale sign outside a shop in Van Nuys, and the same corrugated plastic and same day turnaround applies whether the sign is selling a house or advertising a roofing job. We print full color on one or both sides depending on where the sign will sit, and we can run a batch of ten or a batch of a hundred without changing the process, since the digital press handles short runs the same as long ones.
If you need the H-stake, we carry them at the counter, and if you already have stakes from a past order, bring them back and reuse them, we only need to cut and print the new sign. A PDF proof goes out before anything prints, checked against the file for bleed and legibility at road distance, and once you approve it we run the job the same day if it came in before 10 AM. Valley delivery covers Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City and the rest of the Valley on the afternoon van.

Common yard sign mistakes
What goes wrong with yard sign printing
Yard signs are read from a moving car or across a street, and the most common mistake is text sized for a printed page rather than for that viewing distance, a phone number fine up close that disappears from thirty feet away. We flag font sizes too small for a yard sign's real use case during the file check, even when the customer did not ask for a design review, because a sign nobody can read while driving past defeats the purpose of ordering one. The second issue is color contrast, dark text on dark or light on white, which reads fine on a screen but washes out in outdoor sunlight.
We also check that a customer's sign design leaves room for the H stake to attach without covering critical text, since a sign designed edge to edge with no margin at the bottom can end up with the stake bracket sitting over a phone number. Real estate agents across Encino, Sherman Oaks and Tarzana are our steadiest yard sign customers, ordering open house and for sale signs on a tight weekend timeline, and because the format is simple, we can turn a same day yard sign order around, printed and ready by 3:30, as long as the file lands by our 10 AM cutoff for the press.
