A blank yard sign is a corrugated plastic sign with nothing printed on it, ready for you to write, paint, or apply your own message. It holds up outdoors in sun and rain the same way our printed signs do. No minimums, no setup fees, and every order ships next business day.
Our blank yard sign stock is cut from the same 4mm corrugated plastic we use on every printed sign, just without the ink. Order one sign or a few hundred, in the size that fits your project. Based in Houston, we are a local manufacturer shipping anywhere in the U.S., with no setup fees and no hidden charges at checkout.
What Is a Blank Yard Sign?
A blank yard sign is unprinted corrugated plastic, sometimes called coroplast. The material is made of two flat plastic sheets bonded around a fluted core, which runs vertically for strength and wind resistance. Because nothing is printed on it, you control the message entirely, whether that means a marker, paint pen, or your own vinyl lettering.
Blank signs work anywhere a printed sign would, minus the design and proof steps. That makes them a faster, lower-cost option for anyone who needs a sign today or plans to reuse the same sign with a different message each time.
Where Blank Yard Signs Work Best
Blank signs solve a specific problem: you need a sign now, or you need to change the message often. These are the situations our customers order for most.
Yard Sales and Garage Sales
A blank sign lets you write your own date, time, and arrow in permanent marker, then reuse it for the next sale. Check our for sale sign options if you'd rather have a printed version instead.
Real Estate Open Houses and Directional Signs
Agents use blank signs for one-off open houses and quick directional pointers where a full custom print isn't worth the lead time. For branded, printed options, see our real estate yard signs.
School and Community Fundraisers
Bake sales, car washes, and fundraisers change details every time. A blank sign lets a volunteer update the message in minutes instead of waiting on a new print run. Our school sign options cover printed spirit and event signage.
DIY Crafts and Classroom Projects
Teachers, scout troops, and hobbyists use blank corrugated plastic for painted projects, classroom displays, and craft builds where the plastic itself, not the printing, is the point.
Political Campaigns and Volunteer Signage
Some campaigns hand blank signs to volunteers who add a candidate name or slogan by hand for last-minute canvassing. For full-color printed campaign signs, our political yard signs page covers sizing and bulk pricing.
Bulk and Wholesale Buyers
Sign shops, print vendors, and organizations that apply their own vinyl lettering or stencils order blank stock by the case. Our bulk order program has pricing tiers for larger quantities.
How to Order Blank Yard Signs
Choose your size and quantity and check out. There is no design step and no proof to approve, since there's nothing printed. No minimums, no setup fees, and no hidden charges at checkout. Based in Houston, we manufacture locally and ship anywhere in the U.S., so you don't need a sign shop nearby to get blanks fast.
Blank Yard Sign Specs and Options
Material
Every blank sign is cut from 4mm corrugated plastic. The fluted core keeps the sign lightweight while resisting bending in wind, and the surface holds up to sun and rain without warping.
Finishing Options
-
Grommets: available for signs that need to hang on a fence or mount to a frame instead of a stake
-
Stake-ready edges: cut to fit standard wire stake frames
-
Wire stakes: sold separately on our wire stakes page
Sizing and Colors
Blank signs are available in 12x18, 18x24, and 24x24, our standard sizes across the sign line. Standard color is white. For sizing help on printed signs, our standard yard sign size guide covers the full range.
Writing or Printing Your Own Message
A few tips help a hand-written or applied message hold up outdoors:
-
Use a permanent, weather-resistant marker or paint pen. Standard dry-erase or water-based markers fade fast outdoors.
-
Keep text bold and high-contrast. Dark ink on white plastic reads best from the road.
-
Test on the back of the sign first. Corrugated plastic can bleed with some ink types.
-
Apply vinyl lettering for a cleaner look. Pre-cut vinyl letters or a home cutting machine give blank signs a near-printed finish.
For font and color guidance that applies whether you print or hand-letter, see our guides on best fonts for yard signs and best colors for yard signs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a blank yard sign?
A blank yard sign is a corrugated plastic sign with no printing on it. You write, paint, or apply your own message using marker, paint, or vinyl lettering.
What sizes are available?
Blank signs come in 12x18, 18x24, and 24x24. These match our standard printed sign sizes, so a blank and a custom sign can share the same stake or frame.
What material are blank yard signs made of?
All blank signs are cut from 4mm corrugated plastic, the same material used on our printed signs. It resists bending, holds up in rain, and won't fade or warp from regular sun exposure.
Do blank yard signs come with stakes?
Stakes are sold separately on our wire stakes page. Every blank sign is cut with stake-ready edges, so it fits standard wire frames without extra cutting.
Can I write or paint directly on a blank yard sign?
Yes. A permanent marker, paint pen, or outdoor vinyl lettering all work well on the corrugated plastic surface. Test your ink on the back of the sign first if you're unsure how it will hold up.
Are blank yard signs weatherproof?
The corrugated plastic itself is weatherproof and holds up outdoors through sun and rain. Whether your written or painted message holds up as long depends on the ink or material you use to apply it.
How fast will my order ship?
Blank sign orders ship next business day, since there's no design or proof step to wait on.
Is there a minimum order for blank yard signs?
No. Order a single sign or a few hundred. Larger quantities qualify for bulk order program pricing.
What's the difference between a blank yard sign and a custom printed yard sign?
A blank sign has nothing printed on it, so you supply the message yourself. A custom yard sign is printed to order with your design, logo, or text and includes a free proof before it ships. If you'd rather we handle the printing, our custom yard signs page covers that process.
Order blank yard signs with no minimums and no setup fees. They ship the next business day. For quantities beyond a few dozen, the bulk order program has pricing built for larger orders.
