Ordering custom yard signs through Legit Fast Printing is simple and fast. Here is a clear step-by-step guide:

Best Practices for Uploading Custom Yard Sign Designs
- Use high-resolution files (300 DPI / PPI or higher) for crisp printing. For a typical 24x18 inch sign, this means a file size of at least 7200x5400 pixels.
- Keep text short and bold—big, clear fonts boost readability from a distance.
- Leave a safe margin around the edges. Avoid putting text or important images too close to the border. Aim for at least an inch from every edge of the sign.
- Pick bold colors that contrast with the background for better visibility. For example, dark text on a light background or vice versa.
- Request a double-sided print if your sign needs to be read from both directions.
- If you want help at any point, Legit Fast Printing is ready to guide you—just ask!

Tips for Custom Yard Sign Placement
- Install signs where they are easily seen by drivers and pedestrians—such as street corners, busy intersections, or driveways.
- Make sure they face the right direction. Double-sided signs maximize visibility for people coming from both directions.
- Keep your sign at least 10 feet from other signs and obstructions for best impact.
- Check local city or county ordinances about yard sign placement before installing.
