Coroplast and lawn signs in Calgary
Light, cheap to run in quantity and tough enough for a Calgary spring. Coroplast is the workhorse of temporary signs.
Quick answer
Coroplast is a corrugated plastic board, built like cardboard but waterproof, used for lawn signs and temporary outdoor signs. SURE Print Foothills prints custom coroplast and lawn signs in Calgary in full colour, single or double-sided, for businesses, election campaigns, events, contractors and directional signage.
Drive through any Calgary neighbourhood in May and you'll see them: roofers, landscaping crews, graduation signs, school fundraisers. Coroplast lawn signs are everywhere because they work. They're light enough to carry a stack of fifty to the car, they shrug off rain and snow, and a wire stake gets them into the ground in seconds.
We print on corrugated plastic with our HP Latex printers, so colours come out bright and the ink handles outdoor weather well. Order one sign for a garage sale or a few hundred for a campaign. We'll set up the artwork so your message reads from the street, not just from the sidewalk.
Options

Custom sizes
Common lawn sign sizes or whatever your spot calls for. We cut to size in-house, including custom shapes on our CNC router.
Single or double-sided
Double-sided signs read to traffic coming from both directions, which matters on corner lots and busy streets.
Stakes
Wire stakes slide into the flutes of the sign so it goes into the lawn without tools.
Holes and grommets

Getting a lawn sign to read from the road
People see a lawn sign from a moving car for a couple of seconds. That's enough time for a name, one short line and maybe a phone number or web address. Anything more turns into a grey blur. Pick two colours with strong contrast, like dark on light, and make the most important word the biggest thing on the board. If you're running a campaign, check the election sign rules for your municipality before you put them out.
FAQ
Coroplast & Lawn Signs questions
How long do coroplast signs last outside?
Coroplast is waterproof and holds up well for temporary use, typically a season or more depending on sun, wind and how it's handled. For a sign that needs to stay up for years, we'd suggest a rigid panel instead.
How much are lawn signs in Calgary?
The price depends on size, quantity, single or double-sided printing and whether you need stakes. The cost per sign drops as the quantity goes up. Tell us the details and we'll email a quote.
Do lawn signs come with stakes?
We can supply wire stakes with your signs. They slide into the channels in the coroplast and push straight into the ground.
Can you print election signs?
Yes. We print campaign signs for candidates at every level. Bring your artwork or let our designers set it up, and check your local election sign rules before you place them.
