Images that require scanning, set-up or map creation are an additional $75.00 per sign. Quantity discounts do apply to these charges. There is a maximum of $75 charge per sign.

Yes! We will e-mail a proof for you to review. You will then be able to make unlimited changes until the design is the way you want it.
Yes! The discounts start as low as quantity 2. The price and discount varies on the size of the sign and only applies to identical signs.
Yes! If you need to change some general information, like a phone number or feature of the sign, decals are available. Decals are similar to a peel and stick bumper sticker. The colors and fonts will match your existing sign, so once the decal is in place it will look like new. Auctioneers commonly use the decals to change the date and time of an auction. Decals covering large areas (over a few square feet) can be difficult to manage, and are not recommended.
4'x4' & 4'x8' signs installed in our PVC post kit hold up to about 55 MPH winds. The frame kit meets both ASCE 7-02 and FBC 2004 engineering standards. The failure rate is less than 1%. The smaller signs with the skirt stand hold up to about 45MPH winds.
The post kit is designed for easy assembly and should not take more than 30 – 45 minutes to complete the installation. There are top & bottom tracks that the sign slides into, and then the two tracks slide into holes in the vertical posts. Once put into place there are a few screws that will hold the set together. You then can install the post kit directly into the ground by digging a hole 18”-24” deep and compacting the dirt around it or you can purchase t-bars from a local hardware store, pound them into the ground and slide the post kit on top (recommended for frozen ground).
We do offer 18"x24" signs and 2’x2’ signs, but they are fabricated with the same corrugated plastic signboard that our larger signs are made with. These are a different style sign than is commonly used in the metal frames or the hangman posts. A skirt stand can be purchased to install these signs as self standing yard signs. The standard metal signs can be purchased, but they are not available online, and must ship from our Florida location. This may increase shipping time depending on your location. Please email sales@1800thesign.com for a quote.
