Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided Yard Signs: How to Choose

|SignToro Editorial Team

Single-sided and double-sided yard signs serve different placements. Choosing the right option can help people actually see the message you paid to print.

Single-sided printing

One printed face works well when the sign will be placed against a fence, building or another backing and approached from one direction. A parking entrance or location-specific instruction may only need a front face, depending on where visitors stand.

Double-sided printing

Two printed faces work well for a freestanding sign that people approach from opposite directions. Real estate open houses, contractor job sites and event entrances are common examples. Choose two sides if you intend to place the sign perpendicular to a street or walkway and both directions matter.

Do you need different artwork on both sides?

For the standard SignToro 24×18 packs, plan to repeat one matching design on each face. If your job requires a different arrow, address or instruction on the reverse side, contact the team to verify a custom arrangement before ordering. A printed arrow that looks right from one direction may need special planning when viewed from the other.

Which costs less?

SignToro currently lists identical product prices for single-sided and double-sided versions: 10 signs for $69, 20 for $99 and 50 for $239. These prices do not guarantee shipping is included. Compare the final total shown at checkout.

Make the sign readable

Large, high-contrast headlines matter more than decorative text. Use a short call to action, avoid crowded phone numbers and keep QR codes clear of trimming edges. Where possible, test the design by viewing it from a distance before placing the full order.

Order and installation

All standard packages include one metal H-stake per sign. Only place signs where permitted, and check relevant local restrictions. For a firm arrival deadline, ask about feasibility before purchase because production and shipping transit are separate.
