Quick Answer: Where Can I Get Rigid Signs Made in Scottsdale?
Markit Media prints rigid signs for businesses in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and the whole Valley. A rigid sign is a sign printed on a stiff board, like plastic, foam, aluminum, or acrylic, so it stands up on its own or hangs flat on a wall. We print yard signs, metal parking signs, sidewalk A-frames, real estate signs, clear lobby signs, and menu boards. We can design it for you, too. Text or call 480.245.4287, or send us a message to start. A real person answers.

Which Sign Material Should I Pick?
The right board depends on two things: where the sign will live, and how long you need it. A sign for a weekend open house does not need to be made of metal. A parking sign that has to last five years should not be made of foam. Corrugated plastic is light, cheap, and waterproof, so it is the go-to for yard signs and short jobs outside. PVC and aluminum composite are smooth, flat, and tough, so they look great on a wall for years. Solid aluminum is the one to pick when a sign has to take a beating.
Inside, you have even more choices. Foam board is light and low cost for easels and one-time events. Clear acrylic looks like glass and makes a lobby feel high end. Photo prints on gloss aluminum make art and menus pop. Tell us where the sign goes, and we will point you to the best fit for your budget. Once people see your sign, many will look you up on their phone next, so make sure they can find you. Here is why a business might not show up on Google.
Types of Rigid Signs We Print
Here is everything we make, split into outdoor signs and wall or display signs. Each one has a short “best for” note to help you choose.
Yard Signs and Outdoor Signs
Yard Signs (4mm Corrugated Plastic)
The classic yard sign. It is light, waterproof, and printed in full color on one or both sides. Add a wire H-stake to push it into the ground, or grommets to tie it to a fence. Sizes go up to 36 x 46 inches.
Best for: Grand openings, schools, events, and job sites.
Heavy-Duty Yard Signs (10mm)
The same kind of board, but more than twice as thick. It holds its shape in wind and monsoon storms, so it is a smart pick for signs that stay outside for months.
Best for: Leasing signs, builders, and windy lots.
Bulk Yard Signs
Need 500 signs or more? We print big runs in the most common sizes, with stakes boxed up and shipped right with them. The price per sign drops a lot at these numbers. See our political printing page for campaigns.
Best for: Campaigns, franchises, and HOAs.
Rider Signs
Small strip signs that sit on top of a bigger sign to add one more line, like “Open House,” “Sold,” or “Pool.” They clip onto yard signs and real estate posts, or work on their own.
Best for: Realtors, open houses, and sales.
Real Estate Post Signs
A 6-foot white post kit with a printed sign that hangs from the arm. It goes in with a metal ground stake, so there is no digging, and one person can set it up.
Best for: Listing agents and new home builders.
Sidewalk A-Frame Signs
Fold-out signs that stand on the sidewalk in front of your door. The printed panels slide in and out, so you can swap in a new special without buying a new frame.
Best for: Restaurants, salons, and shops.
Bollard Cover Signs
Three-sided sleeves that slide over the short concrete posts in a parking lot. They ship flat and fold together with no tools. Turn a plain post into an ad or a pickup spot sign.
Best for: Curbside pickup, stores, and safety notes.
Wall, Office, and Display Signs
PVC Signs
A smooth, bright white plastic board with a soft matte look. It does not dent easily and keeps its color in the sun. Add round corners or grommets to hang it.
Best for: Directions, menu boards, and trade shows.
Aluminum Composite (ACM) Signs
Two thin sheets of aluminum with a plastic center. It is light, flat, and very strong, and it will not rust. Pick white or brushed silver, and mount it with holes or metal standoffs.
Best for: Storefronts, office walls, and long-term outdoor signs.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum Signs
Thick, solid aluminum that is built to stay up for years. It will not rust, and it holds up to heat, rain, and bumps from carts and cars.
Best for: Parking, warehouses, and safety signs.
Clear Acrylic Signs
A clear sign that looks like glass but is lighter and much harder to break. We can add a white ink layer so your colors stay bright, plus silver standoffs that make it float off the wall.
Best for: Lobbies, spas, medical offices, and law firms.
Metal Photo Prints
Your photo or art is baked right into a gloss white aluminum panel. The colors look rich and sharp, and the surface wipes clean. Sizes go up to 42 inches wide.
Best for: Art, hotels, galleries, and photographers.
Heavy-Duty Foam Board
A foam center with hard, wood-fiber faces. It is as light as regular foam board but much tougher, and it comes in white or black. Black board makes menus and food photos stand out.
Best for: Menus, museums, and church or school displays.
Foam Board Signs
Very light and low cost, so it is perfect for one day or one event. It sits nicely on an easel. Keep it inside, because foam board is not waterproof.
Best for: Weddings, seminars, and presentations.
Styrene Signs
A thin plastic sheet that can bend, so it can wrap around a counter or slide into a display. It is our lowest cost board, and it comes in very large sizes.
Best for: Store displays, counter wraps, and trade show booths.

Sign Tips That Get You Noticed
Make the Words Big
A good rule is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet people stand away. So a sign seen from 30 feet away needs letters at least 3 inches tall.
Say Less
People driving by get about three seconds. Use your name, one short message, and one way to reach you. Save the rest for your website.
Use Strong Contrast
Dark letters on a light board, or light letters on a dark board, are the easiest to read. Skip thin fonts and busy photos behind the words.
Check the Rules First
Cities, HOAs, and shopping centers often have rules on sign size and where signs can go. A quick call before you print can save you a fine.
Your sign should send people somewhere that turns them into customers. If your website or Google listing needs help, our digital marketing team can fix that. Running for office? Read Arizona’s rules for political signs near the road before you put them out.

Rigid Sign Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most.
How much do custom yard signs cost?
It depends on the size, how many you order, and if you print one side or both. The more signs you order, the less each one costs, and big runs of 500 or more drop the price a lot. Stakes are a small add-on. Text or call Markit Media at 480.245.4287 and a real person will send you an exact price.
What is the best material for an outdoor sign in Arizona?
For a few weeks or months, corrugated plastic yard signs are the best value. For a sign that stays up for years, pick aluminum composite (ACM) or heavy-duty aluminum. Both are made to handle Arizona sun, heat, and monsoon rain, and neither one rusts.
What is the difference between PVC and aluminum composite signs?
Both are smooth, flat, and good inside or out. PVC is plastic all the way through and costs a little less. Aluminum composite has metal on the outside, so it is stiffer, stays flat in the heat, and lasts longer outdoors. For a sign on the front of a building, we usually suggest aluminum composite.
How long will a yard sign last outside?
A regular yard sign usually looks good for several months outside. The thicker 10mm board holds up longer in wind and storms. Sun fades every printed sign over time, so for a sign you want up for years, go with aluminum.
What size should my sign be?
The most popular yard sign size is 24 x 18 inches. For other signs, think about how far away people will be. Plan on about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet. Text us a photo of the spot and we will help you pick a size.
Do yard signs come with stakes?
Stakes are an add-on, so you only pay for them if you need them. Most signs use one wire H-stake. Bigger signs use two. We can also add grommets so you can zip-tie a sign to a fence.
Can you print on both sides of a sign?
Yes. Most of our boards can be printed on one side or both. Two sides is great for yard signs and hanging signs that people see from both directions.
Can you cut a sign into a custom shape?
Yes. We can cut many boards into a custom shape, like your logo or a house. We can also round the corners and drill holes for screws or standoffs.
How fast can I get my signs?
Many yard signs and PVC signs can be printed in 1 to 2 business days after you approve your proof. Metal and specialty signs take a few days longer. Text us if you have a deadline, and we will plan around it.
Can you design my sign?
Yes. We can design it from scratch or fix up a design you already have. We make sure the words are big enough to read from the street and that the colors stand out.
Do you make signs for businesses outside Scottsdale?
Yes. We help businesses across the whole Phoenix Valley, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Glendale, and Peoria.
