It takes rain and sun the way paper and foam never can, light enough to hang with a few screws yet stiff enough to hold its edge, whether it marks a parking spot, stands in a yard or hangs on a storefront. ### What Are Aluminum Signs An aluminum sign is a solid metal sheet printed in full color, with the back left blank or carrying a second design. Unlike ACM, a composite with a plastic core between two thin aluminum skins, it is metal all the way through, so it holds a screw hole without crushing. For a thicker 1/8" panel with a gloss or matte laminate, see the [Aluminum Sign Panels](https://www.4over4.com/product/aluminum-sign-panels). ### How Much Do Aluminum Signs Cost Three things raise the price: a bigger size, full color on the back, and a larger quantity. For a row of reserved parking signs or a set of suite markers, order them in one run so every sign comes off the same press, then add the drilled holes your posts need. A rush speed adds a set percentage on top of the base price. Want a side-by-side quote against another printer? 4OVER4's Price Match beats a lower price from a U.S. retail printer by 10% - the 110% price-match guarantee, so you order the metal sign without overpaying for it. ### What Size Should an Aluminum Sign Be Pick by how far away the sign gets read. A 12" x 18" suits a door, a parking spot, or a notice people read up close. Step up to 18" x 24" for a yard sign or a storefront panel that carries from the sidewalk or a slow car. The 24" x 36" is the big one, sized to be read across a lot or from across the street. ### Aluminum Signs , Configured Your Way 3 option groups, 8 choices, defaults: 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back ### What Options Can You Choose Print both sides for a sign people read coming and going, such as one hanging from a frame. Every sign is cut with 0.75" rounded corners, safer at head height and less likely to catch a hand. Drilled holes go on all four corners, the top corners, or the center of the top and bottom edges. Decide the holes before you order: drilling on press is clean and centered, while drilling in a parking lot with a cordless drill chips the print around the hole. For your own file, the [aluminum sign blank template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/aluminum-signs) for each size shows the bleed and safe margin; keep text clear of the corners where the radius and any holes go. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 12" x 18", with the cut and safe margins marked - [Aluminum Signs From $36.00 for 1](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/aluminum-signs) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/aluminum-signs) ### How Do Aluminum Signs Compare to the Rest of the Range Aluminum signs are the everyday pick in metal.

The comparison below puts this sign beside yard signs, aluminum floor graphics and backlit film with the starting price of each. ## Wally hangs a sign that outlasts the weather A $36 metal panel that beats paper and foam outdoors.

Corrugated plastic gives up somewhere in that cycle; a metal panel has nothing in it to rust or rot. The 18" x 24" is the standard yard listing, light enough to carry a stack in a trunk, and the 24" x 36" suits a corner lot, a wide setback or a commercial listing. There is no separate rider strip, so put SOLD or OPEN HOUSE into the main panel's artwork. Two holes along the top edge hang the sign from an H frame, the wire frame that pushes straight into a lawn; four holes bolt it to a wooden post or a bracket arm. Keep the logo, the agent photo and the phone number in the same place on every listing, so a neighborhood full of your signs reads as one campaign. For a freestanding sidewalk sign, see the [real estate A-frame signs](https://www.4over4.com/product/real-estate-a-frame), and for the lighter corrugated lawn sign, the [real estate yard signs](https://www.4over4.com/product/real-estate-yard-signs). ### Reserved Parking Signs on Aluminum Reserved parking, tenant parking, no parking and tow away notices fit the 12" x 18", the standard parking sign format, readable from a car pulling into the space. Print the rule in the largest type, the unit number or name below it, and the towing line small at the bottom, with top-corner holes for a post or four for a wall bracket. The [Parking Signs](https://www.4over4.com/product/parking-signs) page gathers the parking formats on their own. ### See the Rest of Our Signs Scan the full [print product range](https://www.4over4.com/products), or stay within the metal family on [aluminum signs printing](https://www.4over4.com/aluminum-signs-printing) for reflective faces, dry-erase surfaces and thicker laminated panels. ### More From Online Large Format Print - Fast Turnaround 72 products in the Online Large Format Print - Fast Turnaround range, including Large Format Posters, Indoor Banners, Outdoor Banners - [Large Format Posters From $25.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/online-large-format-posters) - [Indoor Banners From $25.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/indoor-banners) - [Outdoor Banners From $79.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/printing-outdoor-banners) - [Car Magnets From $47.50](https://www.4over4.com/product/car-magnets) - [Fabric Banners From $57.20](https://www.4over4.com/product/fabric-banners) - [Mesh Banners From $75.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/mesh-banners) - [Perforated Window Vinyl From $30.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/perforated-window-vinyl) - [Coroplast From $25.00](https://www.4over4.com/product/coroplast) [Browse all of Online Large Format Print - Fast Turnaround](https://www.4over4.com/large-format-printing) ### Print Your Aluminum Signs Today At 4OVER4.COM, quality comes first, and it's backed by five guarantees and 25+ years of printing since 1999.

The metal is the easy part; what ages is the printed surface, and that depends on sun. A sign in constant direct southern sun softens in color sooner than one on a shaded wall or a north facing post. ### Will an aluminum sign rust? No. The only rust you will see on one bleeds from a steel screw or bracket used to hang it, so use stainless or galvanized hardware, with washers under the screw heads so they do not bite into the print. ### Where can I find metal circle signs? Not on this page. These signs cut to three rectangles with 0.75 inch rounded corners, and a round outline is not listed, so ask before you order rather than assuming it can be added at checkout.
