What Is the Difference Between Standard and Deluxe Signicade Costs?

Choose Deluxe Signicade for removable 24 x 36 inch coroplast inserts; choose Standard Signicade for adhesive vinyl applied directly to its white frame. One-face kits cost $374.49 and $267.49 respectively. Both are printed in the USA in 3 business days after artwork approval and ship nationwide, with flat $10 shipping to any US address.

Both models present the same 24 x 36 inch graphic area, but the graphic system changes what you receive and how you update the message. Standard uses peel-and-stick adhesive vinyl placed directly on a white hollow frame. Deluxe uses a printed coroplast panel that drops into a recessed channel, so the panel can come out and another can take its place.

That makes Deluxe the stronger fit when the frame will support changing campaigns, offers, schedules, or directional messages. A complete Deluxe kit costs more than a graphic-only order because the complete kit includes the A-frame. The four current Deluxe configurations below keep FRAME COLOR at its default White selection and quantity at one.

Deluxe configuration What ships Frame color used for price Current price
A-frame plus one 24 x 36 inch coroplast insert One Deluxe frame and one printed insert White $374.49
A-frame plus two 24 x 36 inch coroplast inserts One Deluxe frame and two printed inserts White $406.59
One replacement insert only One printed coroplast insert, no frame White default retained $85.59
Two replacement inserts only Two printed coroplast inserts, no frame White default retained $106.99

The Deluxe Signicade order page lets you choose the configuration and frame color. The prices above are not interchangeable descriptions. The first two rows are complete frame kits. The last two rows are graphic-only orders for a Deluxe frame you already have.

How Do the Standard and Deluxe Graphics Attach?

Standard attaches its graphic directly to the frame. Its 24 x 36 inch graphic is UV printed adhesive vinyl with a peel-and-stick application. Once applied, the vinyl becomes the displayed face of the white hollow frame rather than a separate board sitting in a channel.

Deluxe holds a separate 24 x 36 inch UV printed coroplast insert. The frame has graphic recesses that accept the drop-in panel. Because the panel remains a distinct piece, it can be removed and replaced without covering the previous art with another layer of adhesive vinyl.

This is the practical dividing line. Choose direct-applied vinyl when the message is intended to stay with the frame. Choose drop-in coroplast when the same frame needs to carry different approved graphics over time. Both can carry full-color artwork, but the printed piece and the way it meets the frame are different.

What Does a Complete Signicade Kit Include?

A complete kit includes the frame and the selected printed graphic count. For Deluxe, the one-insert kit ships with one A-frame and one coroplast insert. The two-insert kit ships with one A-frame and two coroplast inserts, described as a ready-to-use setup for both graphic recesses.

The Standard Signicade follows the same basic complete-kit distinction, but its printed pieces are adhesive vinyl graphics rather than coroplast inserts. Its white hollow body is listed at 46 inches high, 25 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 19 pounds. Those dimensions and weight belong only to Standard. The current Deluxe description does not publish a frame weight or overall frame dimensions, so those numbers should not be transferred from one model to the other.

When comparing an order, read the material name and the included-piece description together. A frame-plus-graphic selection is a complete kit. A graphic-only selection is not a less expensive complete frame. It is replacement printed material for hardware already on hand.

What Ships With a Graphic-Only Deluxe Order?

A graphic-only Deluxe order ships coroplast inserts without another A-frame. Select one piece when you need one new face for an existing Deluxe frame. Select two pieces when you need printed panels for both graphic recesses or two messages you plan to rotate through the same frame.

The one-piece and two-piece options are described as replacement inserts. That wording matters because the order is not usable as a standing A-frame by itself. It assumes you already have compatible Deluxe hardware ready to receive the 24 x 36 inch panels.

The same distinction exists on Standard, but the replacement item is adhesive vinyl. Standard graphic-only pieces are intended for direct application to an existing Standard frame. Deluxe replacement pieces remain separate coroplast panels. Confirm the model before ordering graphics because the attachment method is not interchangeable.

When Is Deluxe Signicade the Better Choice?

Deluxe is the better choice when changing the printed message is part of the plan. A business can keep one frame and order a different coroplast insert when a campaign changes. The swap-ready format also makes sense when separate approved messages need to alternate on the same hardware.

Frame color is another documented Deluxe choice. White is the default used for every price in this guide, while Black is also offered. Pick the color that supports the artwork and keep that choice consistent through review. A color choice should be confirmed independently from the insert count because one describes the hardware and the other describes the printed pieces.

Do not choose based on a wind number that is not published. The current product facts do not state a wind rating for either model. The defensible comparison is the graphic attachment, frame color availability, included-piece count, and whether future messages need removable inserts.

When Is Standard Signicade the Simpler Choice?

Standard is simpler when one approved message is meant to stay on a white frame. The graphic is adhesive vinyl, so the order avoids a separate removable board. That direct-applied construction is easy to understand: the printed vinyl becomes the face, and the frame remains white.

Standard is also the only model in this comparison with published overall measurements and weight in the current catalog description. It is 46 x 25 x 3 inches and 19 pounds. Those facts can help when checking storage space or handling plans, but they do not establish a rating for wind or other conditions.

The tradeoff is update style. A Deluxe coroplast insert is designed to come out of its recess. A Standard vinyl graphic is described as peel-and-stick material applied directly to the frame. If frequent message changes are expected, the removable Deluxe insert is the clearer match.

Should You Order One Deluxe Insert or Two?

Order one insert when only one graphic face is needed. The complete one-insert kit gives you the frame and one printed panel. The graphic-only one-insert selection gives you one replacement panel for a Deluxe frame you already own.

Order two inserts when both graphic recesses need printed panels. The complete two-insert kit includes the frame and two pieces. The two-piece graphic-only selection includes two replacement panels and no frame. In either case, the art can match on both inserts or carry two different approved messages, provided each supplied file is assigned clearly during proof review.

Count pieces, not just designs. One design printed twice still requires two inserts. Two different designs printed once each also require two inserts. Writing the intended face beside each file name keeps the order and artwork count aligned.

How Should You Choose the Deluxe Frame Color?

Choose White or Black by looking at the full artwork against the frame edge. White can continue a pale background and keep the overall presentation light. Black can create a clear border around bright artwork or connect with dark brand elements. Neither color changes the documented insert size or the drop-in format.

Every price in the comparison uses White because that is the default FRAME COLOR selection. Changing the color to Black on the product page does not change the price; the Black total equals the White total on every configuration, so the comparison holds for either color. The key is to compare matching selections.

Keep the chosen frame color on the order notes and proof checklist. The art file shows the insert, not the plastic surrounding it, so a clear order record prevents the frame decision from being separated from the approved graphic.

What Do We Check on A-Frame Proofs?

We check that the artwork is assigned to the correct 24 x 36 inch piece count and the correct Signicade model. For Deluxe, the order should say whether it is a complete frame kit or graphic-only replacement order, whether it has one insert or two, and whether the selected frame color is White or Black.

On the artwork, we verify orientation, spelling, phone numbers, web addresses, dates, arrows, and the reading direction of each face. Important names and contact details should not sit against the panel edge. When two inserts use different art, each file should be labeled for its intended face so the proof and order agree.

We also compare the proof against the product type. A Deluxe proof should correspond to coroplast inserts. A Standard proof should correspond to adhesive vinyl applied directly to the frame. That neutral check catches a material mismatch before approval and keeps a graphic-only order from being mistaken for a complete frame kit.

How Do You Order the Right Deluxe Configuration?

Start by deciding whether you need hardware. If you do not own a Deluxe frame, choose a complete kit. If you already own the frame and only need a new message, choose graphic only. Then select one insert or two based on the number of printed pieces the frame needs.

Keep FRAME COLOR on White when you want the exact comparison shown here, or choose Black and review the configured total. Upload the artwork for every insert, label the files when the two faces differ, and compare the proof with the order summary before approval.

The result should name four facts without ambiguity: Deluxe model, complete kit or graphic only, one or two 24 x 36 inch inserts, and frame color when hardware is included. Once those facts agree, the order reflects the product you intend to receive.
