24 x 36 Yard Signs Cost: 1 to 100 Signs, Sides and Stakes

What Does a Double-Sided 24 x 36 Yard Sign Cost?

A double-sided 24 x 36 yard sign is $85.59 for one, $160.49 for five and $235.39 for ten. The second face is printed on the same panel, so you are paying for ink and press time, not a second sheet of plastic.

Choose double sided when traffic approaches from two directions. A corner lot, a sign set perpendicular to the road, or a development entrance that cars pass both coming and going all read from both faces. A sign that backs onto a fence, a wall or a hedge only ever shows one face, and single sided is the honest choice there.

The gap between the two columns narrows as the count rises. One sign is $64.19 single sided and $85.59 double sided. One hundred signs are $1,508.69 single sided and $1,936.69 double sided, about $15.09 and $19.37 a sign, so the second face costs less per sign the more you print. Order the sides the placements need, then read the total on the product page, because the sides and the quantity both move it.

How Much Are Stakes for a 24 x 36 Yard Sign?

A standard wire H-stake is $3.00 each, and the heavy-duty grade is $4.00 each on orders of 10 signs or more. Neither is in the sign price. On the product page the H-Stakes row defaults to no stakes, and the moment you pick a grade the count fills with one per sign, which you can change to any number up to 100.

The standard stake is the right answer for most lawns. The heavy-duty stake is the one to pick for firm ground, a windy frontage or a sign that stays up for weeks, and this size catches more wind than any other sign we cut. Ten extra large signs with ten standard stakes are $222.59, and the same ten signs with ten heavy-duty stakes are $232.59. At one hundred signs the two totals are $1,808.69 and $1,908.69.

The flutes on a 36 x 24 panel run vertically, so the two stake legs slide straight into the channels and the sign sits on the crossbar. If you already own stakes, leave the row on no stakes and the line stays signs only. Stakes are priced per stake, so they add the same amount to a double-sided order as to a single-sided one.

What Is a 24 x 36 Yard Sign For?

A 24 x 36 yard sign is for traffic that is moving: highway frontage, a development or acreage listing, a construction site, a church or school set back from the road, or any spot where a standard sign gets lost. The rule of thumb is one inch of capital letter height for every ten feet of reading distance, and a 36 inch wide panel carries 8 inch capitals with room to spare.

That is the difference in practice. The sample real-estate brand Marlowfield Realty can print its name and FOR SALE large enough to read from a car at 80 feet, with a phone number underneath that is still legible from the sidewalk. The sample home-builder brand Cobalt Ridge Builders can put a lot number, a builder name and a website on one panel at the entrance to a new development and have every line read at 35 miles per hour.

The size also works as a directional sign for an event. One arrow, one word and the event name fill a 36 x 24 panel at a letter height a driver can read without slowing down, which is what you want a block before the turn.

How Does a 24 x 36 Sign Compare With an 18 x 24 Sign?

An 18 x 24 standard yard sign is $53.49 for one, and the 36 x 24 extra large is $64.19, so the extra large gives you twice the printed area for the higher of the two prices. The standard size suits a front lawn, a job site on a residential street or a listing on a 25 mile per hour road, where the reader is within 40 feet. Past that distance, or anywhere cars do not slow down, the extra large earns its place.

What Bleed and Safe Area Does a 24 x 36 Yard Sign Need?

Build the file at 36.25 x 24.25 inches, which is the 36 x 24 inch trim plus 0.125 inch of bleed on every side, and keep all text and logos inside a 35 x 23 inch safe area, 0.5 inch in from the cut line. Any background color or photo must run out to the full 36.25 x 24.25 inch edge.

Bleed exists because coroplast is cut in a stack, and a stack moves a little. If a navy background stops exactly at 36 x 24, a cut that lands a sixteenth of an inch inside the line leaves a white sliver down one edge. If the navy runs out to the bleed line, the same shift cuts navy and nobody can tell. The safe area protects the other direction: text 0.5 inch inside the trim stays whole on every sign in the run.

Two more lines matter on this size. Keep the bottom 2 inches clear of anything important, because that is where the stake legs enter the flutes and where tall grass hides the edge. And a 36 x 24 inch panel reads well at 150 dpi, which is 5400 x 3600 pixels at trim, so a vector file or a PDF built at that size prints clean and sharp. A phone photo stretched to three feet wide does not.

What We See on Proofs for Extra Large Signs

The file problem we catch most often on extra large signs is a standard sign file scaled up. Someone has a standard sign design, drags it to 36 x 24, and the logo, which was a 300 pixel PNG pulled from a website, now prints at twice its size and goes soft. The text stays sharp because it is live type; the logo goes fuzzy. We hold the proof and ask for the vector logo, an AI, EPS, SVG or PDF, and reissue the proof once it arrives.

The second is a thin border. A 0.25 inch frame on a 36 inch panel looks even on screen and uneven on the lawn, because the frame is what makes a small cut shift visible to the eye. Either make the frame 0.75 inch or wider, or let the color bleed off and skip the outline.

The third is orientation. A file built 24 inches wide and 36 inches tall prints fine, but the flutes then run sideways and an H-stake will not slide in. We flag it on the proof, turn it landscape if the layout allows, and ask before anything prints.
