Build Your Own Sign

Build a sign yourself, on screen, in a few minutes. Our online sign designer lets you start from a stocked sign package, replace the wording with your own, add your school name, colors, mascot, or logo, and see exactly what you are ordering before you add it to the cart. There is no design fee and no minimum order.

How it works:

  • Pick a package. Each Build Your Sign product is tied to a real product we stock — an aluminum sign, an interchangeable poster for a specific portable frame, a plastic room sign — so the size, material, and mounting are already correct.
  • Customize it. Click Customize on the product page to open the designer. Enter your text, choose colors, and add graphics.
  • Add your identity. Upload your own logo file, or pull from our free Logo Design Library — thousands of in-stock mascots, fonts, and logo designs, available at no charge.
  • Approve the proof. Add your design to the cart and check out. Our sign department produces a mock-up and sends you a proof for approval before anything is manufactured.

The reason this works differently here than at a general sign printer is that we make the signs. Every Build Your Sign order runs through our own sign shop, on the same materials and equipment as our stocked catalog — 0.063" or 0.080" aluminum with reflective vinyl for outdoor signs, 1/8" coroplast posters for portable frames, UV-protected high-impact plastic for interior signs. If what you need falls outside what the designer offers, we make it to order anyway: send your specification with a Get Quote request.

Popular starting points include interchangeable poster signs sized for our Sightline and PortaVue portable frames, custom aluminum signs for parking and building exteriors, and custom plastic directory and logo signs for interior wayfinding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose a Build Your Sign product that matches the sign type you need, then click Customize on the product page to open the sign designer. Enter your wording, adjust colors and layout, and add a logo or mascot either by uploading your own file or selecting one from our free Logo Design Library. When the design looks right, add it to the cart and check out. You do not need design software or design experience — the templates already carry correct sizing, margins, and legibility standards for the material you picked.

No. The online sign designer is free to use, and there is no art fee for adding your school name, mascot, or logo to a sign. Our Logo Design Library — thousands of in-stock mascots, type fonts, and logo designs — is also available at no charge. You pay for the sign itself, not the design work behind it. If you want our sign department to build the design for you instead of doing it yourself, that is also included; submit your wording and artwork with a quote request.

Yes, every time. After you check out, our sign department creates a mock-up of your design and sends it to you for approval. Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof. This is the step that catches the problems that matter — a misspelled staff name, a room number transposed, a logo that reproduces poorly at the chosen size — and it is why we do not skip it even on repeat orders.

It depends on where the sign goes, and the designer packages are organized around that. Outdoor signs are built in 0.063" aluminum with Engineer-Grade Reflective vinyl or 0.080" aluminum with High-Intensity Prismatic vinyl, both pre-drilled for post or wall mounting. Portable sign posters are 1/8" coroplast sized to fit our A-frame and tip-and-roll frames. Interior signs use high-impact, UV-protected plastic. If you need a material, size, or shape the designer does not offer, we manufacture in house and can quote it as a custom order.

You can order a single sign. Because we manufacture in our own shop rather than brokering to a printer, there is no order minimum and no small-quantity penalty — a school replacing one damaged sign is a normal order for us, not an exception. That also means a district can standardize a design once and then reorder in ones and twos as signs get damaged, instead of buying a large batch to hit a minimum and storing the surplus.
