Coroplast corrugated plastic is less expensive than other sign materials and is just as effective at promoting events. It also can hold up in the weather without fading or water damage. And because they are light weight and easy to store, they are practical for using over and over again.

Don't believe me? The next time you take a drive down a commercial road, count all of the corrugated plastic signs you see. And remember - if you see them, they're working.

Coroplast plastic signs are actually sturdy, however, and their water proof exterior allows them to remain in prime condition despite exposure to rain.

Adhesive vinyl comes in any color you can imagine, and the images - including the font of your text - are simply loaded onto a computerized cutting machine.
