A print-ready file helps keep custom yard sign orders moving. Use this checklist before uploading artwork for a 24×18-inch sign.
1. Use correct proportions
Prepare the file as a landscape 24-inch-wide by 18-inch-high design, which is a 4:3 ratio. For a raster design, 3,600 × 2,700 pixels corresponds to 150 pixels per inch at full size; 7,200 × 5,400 corresponds to 300 pixels per inch. Vector logos and text retain sharp edges when scaled. Do not enlarge tiny social-media screenshots and expect the same clarity.
2. Give the headline priority
Yard signs are typically viewed quickly, sometimes from a moving vehicle. Use one clear headline followed by a short support line. A long paragraph, several phone numbers or overly elaborate type can make the main message harder to understand.
3. Leave space at the edges
Keep important text, logos and QR codes away from trim edges. Exact production tolerance can vary; ask for confirmation if your artwork relies on precise edge positioning. Give QR codes enough clear space to scan on multiple phones.
4. Verify every detail
Double-check dates, addresses, names, website links, phone numbers and directional arrows. Test QR codes using the final design before ordering. A spelling mistake repeated across 50 signs can be expensive.
5. Use licensed artwork
Only upload images, business logos, artwork and other material you own or have authorization to reproduce. If you're working on behalf of an organization or client, confirm permission.
6. Match the correct product option
SignToro offers standard packs of 10, 20 and 50 matching 24×18 corrugated-plastic signs, with single- or double-sided printing and a metal H-stake per sign. Standard pricing assumes one matching design across the pack. Multiple designs require separate confirmation.
7. Allow production and shipping time
A complete accepted file can reduce avoidable delays, but a production estimate is not a guaranteed delivery date. Check shipping services and charges at checkout. If you have an event deadline, contact SignToro before ordering.
