Question
How long do printed yard signs last outdoors?
Answer
How long a printed yard sign lasts outdoors depends mostly on the material and how much direct sun it gets. With quality printing, here is what to expect.
| Material | Typical outdoor lifespan |
|---|---|
| Coroplast with UV-resistant ink | 6 to 12 months |
| Aluminum | Several years |
- Direct sun is the main driver of fading. Shaded signs last longer.
- UV-resistant inks from professional large-format printing hold color much longer than inkjet or laser home printing.
- Rain and wind rarely destroy coroplast. Sun exposure is what ages the graphic.
- Most campaigns get a full season out of a coroplast sign without issues. For multi-year use, step up to aluminum.
