Default sign material for job

Hello everybody,

I have to do 50 signs about 4 x 6 feet in one and two color vinyl. These signs are going to be indoor. I'd like to know where to find the actual sign material, something like coroplast, but I would like to use the same plastic material they have in yard signs. Could you please tell me where to find a supplier.

Thanks for the info. I am located in Florida and it seems expensive to ship. Does anybody know of suppliers in Tampa or Orlando.

Most yard signs are coroplast/corrugated plastic. 4 millimeter is the norm for most coroplast signs (especially yard signs), although for a thicker higher durability they make 10 mil coroplast.

You should be able to get a 4ft x 8ft sheet from sign supply companies. A decent sized sign supply company should have quite a bit of stock on hand for that, acrylics, aluminum, and more of the common used sign bases. Proveer/sign supply usa has a location in Tampa.

You may be able to find a few more via yellow pages under Sign Supply, just gotta make sure you're dealing with a vendor that deals only with sign companies and isn't a sign maker

Joe thank you for your helpful reply. A month ago I decided I was going to start making signs since I have a cutter, all of the sudden I got this job of 50 signs, and I am freaking out because I am learning as I go. I am so happy I belong to this forum!!!
