General Information

All of our Yard Signs are constructed of high quality (6 year rated) vinyl lettering on a white Coroplast sign blank.

Coroplast Signs are designed for both indoor and outdoor advertising, such as;  Homes for Sale or Rent, Yard Sales, Political Advertising, Special events, Construction Information, Wall signs, Etc.

What is Coroplast:  Coroplast is a trade name for a lightweight, corrugated plastic material made of high impact polypropylene copolymer.  Coroplast is impact, UV, and weather resistant making it the ideal material for durable, inexpensive advertising.

All 18" x 24" Coroplast signs include either a 10" x 30" wire stand.  Rider signs include two 6" rider pins or optional stands

Installation

Main Sign Assembly:

Your sign is shipped with a 30" tall wire yard stake.  To assembly, simply insert either end of the stake into the bottom of the sign (through the corrugations) until the cross piece touches the bottom of the sign.

Rider sign assembly:

If your sign includes a 6" x 18" rider, you should also receive two rider pins.  Insert both pins into the bottom of the rider sign up to the first bend in the pin, as shown below.  Place pins a couple of inches from each end of the sign.

Insert the rider sign with the pins into the top center of the  main sign as shown.  Be sure the pins are pushed down all the way to the bend.

Installation:

Using your foot on the lower cross piece, gently push the wire stake into the ground.  The ground should be fairly soft so as not to bend the stake.  If it does get bent, it can be straightened. 

Care and maintenance:

Do Not bend or crease your sign.  Always store the sign flat.

Clean the sign using a mild detergent such as soap and water or glass cleaner.  Do Not use abrasive pads, detergents, or petroleum based products (kerosene, acetone, Etc.).

These signs are weatherproof and will not be damaged by heavy rains.  However, they are lightweight and not designed to withstand high winds or severe weather.

General Information

All of our magnetic signs are made using a High performance (6 year outdoor rated) vinyl  on white, laminated "Promag" .030" thick magnetic sheet.  This is a high strength, flexible magnetic material, ideal for outdoor applications, with a temperature range from -15^o F to 160^o F. 

Depending on the design, the signs may also be printed on a white 6 year vinyl, and laminated over the magnetic media.

Installation and Care of Magnetic Signs

Please read these very important magnetic sign installation, maintenance and storage instructions. If you carefully follow the outlined care, your satisfaction and the longevity of your sign will be assured. We cannot be held responsible for misuse or misapplication that may result in damage to your sign or vehicle.

Installation:

Clean the area on the vehicle where the magnetic sign will be placed.

Make sure the entire sign is in contact with the vehicle body. Check to make sure no edges are sticking up and that no air pockets are trapped under the sign. You may correct any edges that are not in contact with vehicle by carefully bending that part of the sign back slightly.

DO NOT CREASE

Note:  Magnetic signs are normally very secure if installed properly and can easily withstand highway speeds.  However, an improperly installed sign can blow off of the vehicle at high speed.

Magnetic signs cannot be placed over repaired areas that use body fill. Since body fill is not metal, magnetic signage will not stick to these areas. Find another suitable area on the vehicle to display your sign.

Maintenance:

Remove sign when washing and waxing the vehicle.

Clean and dry front and back of signs, taking care over vinyl lettering or logo areas.

Use a mild non-abrasive detergent and a sponge to wash sign. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe sign dry. Do not immerse in water. Do not use steam or pressure to wash signs. Do not take sign through car wash – remove first.

Storage:

Store sign on a flat surface, or…

Store sign rolled loosely in a tube (at least 4” in diameter), magnetic side in / printed side out.

Do not roll tightly; roll as large as possible to fit just inside tube.

Take care not to leave the magnetic sign unprotected and unrolled inside a hot vehicle. Except when ‘in use’, high temperatures can distort your sign.

Do not fold, crease or place heavy objects on top of the sign. Creases or loose edges may cause the sign to blow off of your vehicle. Try straightening sign by placing it on a flat metal surface: Filing cabinet, metal desk, or refrigerator. Leave in place for one or two days.

Ordering Magnetic Signs

Step 1:  Calculating the size

When measuring for your signs, avoid areas that have sharp corners, trim work, door seams, Etc.

Normal curves and contours on the body panels will not adversely affect the signs.

Remember, the signs are magnetic and will not adhere to aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, or body filler.

Note the maximum height and width of the sign.  We may adjust the size down slightly to fit the design.  We will not increase the size.
