Yard Sign Printing for Businesses, Events and Local Advertising
Yard signs are one of the most widely used forms of local advertising because they are affordable, portable, and highly visible. Businesses, real estate agents, contractors, and community organizations often rely on yard signs to promote services, advertise events, and guide visitors to specific locations.
North State Signs & Printing provides durable yard signs, sidewalk signs, and bandit signs designed for outdoor visibility and everyday use, and Apex is part of our confirmed service area alongside Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Garner, and Wake Forest.
Unlike digital advertising that disappears when a campaign ends, yard signs remain visible to drivers and pedestrians throughout the day. When placed strategically along roadways or in neighborhoods, they can generate thousands of local impressions.
Yard Signs Near the Apex Union Depot and Historic Downtown
Apex is built around the Apex Union Depot, a railroad station dating to the late 1800s and rebuilt in brick in 1914, now the centerpiece of the Apex Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places since 1994. Businesses, shops, and event organizers around this historic downtown rely on sidewalk signs and yard signs suited to the district's walkable, small-town character, distinct from the newer commercial corridors North State also serves in Cary and Morrisville.
Real estate agents working listings across Apex, from homes near the historic downtown to newer neighborhoods further out, rely on yard signs and bandit signs to direct buyers to open houses and showings quickly.
Types of Outdoor Signs
Corrugated Plastic Yard Signs
Most yard signs are produced from corrugated plastic panels, sometimes referred to as coroplast. This material is lightweight, weather resistant, and durable enough for outdoor use. Signs are typically mounted with metal H frames that slide into the ground for quick installation.
The most common size is 18 x 24 inches, although smaller or larger sizes are also used depending on visibility requirements.
Sidewalk and A-Frame Signs
Sidewalk signs and A frame displays are commonly used by retail stores, restaurants, and service businesses to attract foot traffic. These portable signs allow businesses to promote daily specials, events, or announcements outside their storefront.
Because they can be repositioned throughout the day, sidewalk signs help businesses capture attention from passing pedestrians along Salem Street and the rest of historic downtown Apex.
Bandit Signs
Bandit signs are small roadside signs often used for directional advertising or high volume campaigns. These lightweight signs are commonly used for real estate promotions, community events, and political campaigns.
Their low cost and easy placement allow businesses or organizations to distribute signs across multiple locations to increase exposure.
Choosing the Right Yard Sign
Sign Size and Visibility
The most common yard sign size is 18 x 24 inches because it provides good visibility while remaining easy to install. Larger signs may be used along busier roads where drivers need more time to read the message.
Outdoor Durability
Corrugated plastic signs are commonly used because they resist moisture and perform well in changing weather conditions. Proper installation using metal frames helps maintain stability in windy environments.
Placement Tips
To maximize visibility, yard signs are often placed near intersections, roadways, job sites, and neighborhood entrances. Clear, simple designs with large lettering help drivers and pedestrians read the message quickly.
