What is a backdrops & sign?
This is our rigid rectangular product line — flat printed panels that live on stakes, tabletops, walls, or frames. The board choice defines the environment: coroplast (corrugated polypropylene) is impervious to rain and humidity, foamboard is lighter and prints with a more premium finish.
For event producers this solves the outdoor-signage problem cheaply (print Tuesday, stake Friday, pull Sunday) and the indoor backdrop problem cleanly (single-piece premium panels or tiled walls of any width).
Common event use cases
Foamboard step-and-repeats up to 94" tall, tiled to any width — the classic press-wall for premieres, galas, and brand activations.
Coroplast signs on H-stakes direct traffic from the street to the venue with color-coded stops at every decision point.
Weddings, festivals, farmers markets — coroplast welcome signs, vendor booth markers, restrooms-this-way.
Standard 24"×18" lawn signs on H-stakes, in short or long runs.
Materials
Coroplast (4mm standard, 6mm heavy-duty) is our default for outdoor and multi-event reuse — light, cheap, weatherproof, easy to stake. Foamboard (3/16" or 1/2") steps in for indoor backdrops and step-and-repeats where a premium look on camera matters more than weather resistance. Everything is printed directly on the board with UV-cured ink on our flatbed printer.

- 3/16" Foamboard (indoor, lightweight)

Sizes
We print backdrops and signs from 6"×6" up to 94" tall, with no fixed width limit — oversized walls of any width are tiled from 46"×94" sheets. Standard lawn-sign size is 24"×18" landscape; 18"×24" portrait reads best at eye level for valet and entry. Need it seamless larger than 48×96"? We can print up to 60×120" on a single sheet — contact us for a custom quote.
Standard range: 6×6" to 10000×94". Larger sizes seamed on request.
Finishing options
Add grommets — top 2 corners or all 4 — for signs you'll zip-tie or rope onto a fence or frame. Add H-stakes (metal wire stakes that slide into the flutes) for lawn signs on coroplast — the flutes must run vertically for H-stakes to grip, so selecting H-stakes locks sign orientation. Optional matte or gloss lamination on either substrate.

Frequently asked questions
Coroplast or foamboard for a step-and-repeat?+
For an indoor premiere or gala where the camera is close, foamboard (usually 1/2") gives the cleaner finish. For anything outdoor, multi-day, or that will be re-used across events, coroplast is the right pick. Both tile the same way for oversized walls.
Can you print oversized backdrop walls?+
Yes — this is one of our specialties. Sheets max out at 46"×94", height is capped at 94", but width is unlimited via tiling. The configurator draws you an exact panel diagram before checkout (e.g. a 15-foot wall at 94" tall is 4 panels). Panels install edge-to-edge on site with visible seams between sheets.
How long will coroplast signs last outside?+
Print colors on our UV-cured inks hold up for 1–2 years of continuous outdoor exposure. The coroplast substrate itself is essentially weatherproof — signs fail from UV fade or physical damage long before the plastic gives out.
Do H-stakes come with the signs?+
H-stakes are a per-piece add-on and are only available with coroplast (they slide into the flutes). The flutes must run vertically, which is our default for lawn-sign orientation.
Can these be printed double-sided?+
Yes — double-sided printing is available on request. Contact us for a custom quote if you need identical or different artwork on both faces.
What's the difference between 4mm and 6mm coroplast?+
4mm is our standard, roughly the thickness of a paperback book, and works for most short-term event signs. 6mm is noticeably stiffer, more wind-resistant, and holds up to being packed and re-used across multiple events.
Need it seamless larger than 48×96"?+
Yes — we can print up to 60×120" on a single sheet for pieces that need to be seamless. That's outside the standard configurator range, so contact us for a custom quote.
