Question
How do I choose between aluminum and corrugated plastic signs?
Answer
The choice comes down to how long the sign needs to last outdoors and your budget. Aluminum is the permanent option. Corrugated plastic is the economical short-term one.
| Aluminum | Corrugated plastic (Coroplast) | |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | Years outdoors | A few months to a couple of years |
| Durability | Resists rust and UV fading | Lightweight and budget-friendly |
| Best for | Permanent signage | Yard signs, event markers, short promotions |
Pick aluminum for storefronts and year-round fixtures, and corrugated plastic for temporary campaigns where cost per sign matters most.
