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.

Pick aluminum for storefronts and year-round fixtures, and corrugated plastic for temporary campaigns where cost per sign matters most.
