What is the difference between your plastic, metal and acrylic signs?

Take a look at the differences between each of the signs below: __Plastic signs:__ 10 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Waterproof for outdoor & indoor use Full-colour printing Best for: Construction sites & directional signage __Metal signs:__ 10 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Brushed or coated white aluminum UV-ink printing Best for: Stores & building exteriors __Acrylic signs:__ 10 sizes, up to 24" x 36" Clear or frosted acrylic UV-ink printing Best for: Reception areas & offices

How thick is the plastic material for your PVC signs?

We offer our custom PVC plastic signs in 2 different thicknesses: 3 mm and 6 mm. Our 3 mm signs are a great, low-cost outdoor option and are thick enough to withstand most weather. Our 6 mm option is best for harsher weather conditions and is a more durable outdoor rigid sign.

How many drilled holes will my custom plastic sign come with? How big are they?

Our 2 largest sizes, 24" x 24" and 24" x 36", will come with 6 holes. (1 in each corner, plus 2 in the middle). The other (smaller) 8 sizes will come with 4 (1 in each corner). The middle of each hole is 5/8" from the edge of the sign. The diameter of each hole is 3/8". Keep in mind that they are not automatically included, so don’t forget to select “Drilled Holes” before you start designing to have them custom made.

How do I clean and protect my plastic sign?

Our plastic signs can be easily cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. If you plan on installing your signs outside, make sure you clean them regularly. If possible, install them in areas that get limited direct sunlight and wind. This will extend the life of your sign. Depending on the size of your signs, store them flat and in a non-weight bearing manner to avoid bending and breaking when not in use.

How do I get the best print results for my plastic sign boards?

For the clearest and sharpest plastic sign prints possible, we recommend signs larger than 12" x 12" have a font size of at least 22pt and high-resolution images. This will ensure that your signs look their best from 4 or more feet away.

How durable are your custom PVC signs?

When properly cared for, our custom plastic signs can last up to 5 years. However, continued and constant exposure to the elements (like direct sunlight, wind and rain) can shorten this lifespan. Additionally contact with sharp objects can scratch or damage the plastic sign and reduce the lifespan.

Can I order custom shapes for my plastic signs?

Yes. We offer custom shapes to help your design stand out. Just upload your artwork with the desired shape included. Please note that custom shape orders are upload only and do not include drilled holes.

What makes premium printing different from standard printing?

Premium printing gives your signs a more polished, high-end finish that’s perfect for photos or detailed imagery. Standard printing is a budget-friendly choice for everyday use, great for text-only designs or simpler visuals.

Awesome!

Product is as described, colours are vibrant and my logo looks crisp and neat in print. Material is sturdy despite the plastic having a soft, almost felt-like texture. It's very light and easy to store/transport. I'm very happy and excited to show off my new sign at an upcoming event, thanks Vistaprint!

Exactly as expected

Registration problems with blurry logo, smeared ink, and damaged areas

Dec 23, 2025 | Matt R. |

Verified Buyer

Absolutely junk that I can’t even hang in my home office. The vector logo I submitted is blurry because of print registration issues and there are several areas when the ink is smeared or missing because of the damaged backer. Packed in bubble wrap, meaning someone had to look at the issues and wrapped it anyway.

Plastic sign

I’m a little disappointed. I paid a lot of money for the sign and it wasn’t what I expected. The print was clear but the material was quite flimsy. I thought for the price it would have been more sturdy. Wouldn’t order again
