How to Choose the Right Coroplast Thickness
Corrugated plastic, widely known as Coroplast, is the undisputed king of temporary outdoor signage. However, simply ordering a ‘yard sign’ is not enough. You must select the appropriate thickness for your specific environment. Choosing the wrong thickness will result in your signs folding in half during the first major rainstorm.
The Standard 4mm Coroplast
This is the lightweight champion of the signage world.
- The Industry Standard: 4mm is the standard thickness for classic 18×24 real estate signs, political campaign signs, and directional event markers.
- Best Use Cases: It is incredibly cost-effective and designed for short-term use in standard neighborhood environments.
The Heavy-Duty 10mm Upgrade
When you are building massive roadside signs, you need serious structural integrity.
- Commercial Strength: 10mm is absolutely required for large 4×8 construction site signs or massive commercial real estate banners.
- Wind Resistance: The thicker flutes make the sign rigid enough to withstand heavy gusts without bending.
The Raven32 Recommendation
A bent sign makes your business look completely unprofessional. As your printing and promotional experts, our rule is simple. If your sign is going in a high-wind area or needs to stay up for several months, always upgrade to 10mm and use heavy-duty steel stakes.
