Size, Design & Artwork Guidelines

What you can include, photo/map charges, and changing information later.

What are the standard dimensions of a 2‘×4‘ sign?

A 2‘×4‘ sign is 24 inches tall by 48 inches wide (24" × 48").

What can I put on the sign?

Anything you like. Your company logo, layout, and design work are included. Photos, maps, and renderings can be added for an additional charge.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Layout and design are included in the price of the sign.

Why is there a "safe area" for artwork on my sign?

This ensures that critical information remains visible if the outer edges of the sign are covered during installation. The extra area outside the safe zone provides flexibility for different mounting methods, including customer-supplied frames or hardware, while protecting key design elements from being hidden.

What is the recommended safe area for my artwork?

For best results, keep all important artwork within:
46.5 inches wide × 22.5 inches tall This ensures your design remains fully visible after the sign is mounted in a post kit.

Can my design extend beyond the safe area?

Yes — background colors, patterns, or full-bleed graphics can extend beyond the safe area. However, logos, text, phone numbers, URLs, and key messaging should stay inside the safe area to avoid being hidden.

What happens if my artwork doesn‘t follow these guidelines?

No worries! Our design team reviews all submitted artwork. If anything important falls outside the recommended safe area, we’ll contact you and help adjust the layout so your sign looks great once installed.

Can pictures be printed on the sign?

Yes. For signs sized 32"×48" and smaller, images and map renderings are included at no additional charge.

Can I change information on a sign I already received?

Yes. We offer matching decals for general updates like phone numbers or auction date/time. Large decals covering several square feet can be difficult to apply and are not recommended.

What file formats do you accept for custom 2‘×4‘ signs?

We accept PNG, JPEG, PDF, EPS, TIF, or AI files.

What resolution does my artwork need to be?

We recommend 300 DPI for signs viewed from a distance. If you are not sure about your files resolution, our design team will review it and let you know if anything needs improvement—then help you make it print-sharp.

Sign Materials

What we print on, how long it lasts.
