LAST UPDATE: 10 / 14 / 2026
What the Full Delivered Sign Price Includes
A real 100-sign order of full-color 12x18 coroplast signs at 55printing is $334.47 for print, or $420.32 delivered to ZIP 33140 with metal step stakes included, checked October 14, 2026. The $99 teaser typically sells one-color, one-sided printing with no stakes. Ten signs with stakes do fit under $100, at $97.95 delivered.
A campaign volunteer needs one hundred signs before Saturday canvassing. A contractor wants fifty job-site boards across three neighborhoods. Both see the same ad: one hundred yard signs for ninety-nine dollars. It is the most quoted teaser in the sign business, and it is almost never the number on the final checkout screen. This page prices the claim honestly, shows the real delivered cost of a bulk sign order, and marks the exact point where under $100 is still real.
What does a real bulk sign order cost delivered?
These totals came from the live 55printing yard sign order form on October 14, 2026. Every row is full-color UV printing on 4mm corrugated plastic, and the metal step stake is already inside the print price. Shipping is a real checkout quote to Miami Beach ZIP 33140, not an estimate invented for this page.
| Size and sides | Qty | Ground | Delivered (per sign) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12×18 front only | 1 | $13.65 | $15.00 | $28.65 |
| 12×18 front only | 10 | $44.73 | $53.22 | $97.95 ($9.80) |
| 12×18 front only | 25 | $96.29 | $85.85 | $182.14 ($7.29) |
| 12×18 both sides | 25 | $125.43 | $85.85 | $211.28 ($8.45) |
| 12×18 front only | 100 | $334.47 | $85.85 | $420.32 ($4.20) |
| 18×24 front only | 100 | $464.21 | $85.85 | $550.06 ($5.50) |
Two things stand out. First, the hundred-sign delivered total is $420.32, not $99. Second, delivery barely moves between 25 and 100 signs because the boards nest in one carton, so the per-sign share falls to $4.20. For a side-by-side look at sign sizes and quantity breakpoints, the yard sign cost guide carries the wider size table.
Where does under $100 actually hold up?
Ten full-color 12×18 signs with stakes are $97.95 delivered to the same ZIP. That is a verified small-batch example, not a hundred-sign offer: it includes full-color printing, hardware, and the ground quote for ZIP 33140. It can suit an open house or a weekend sale when ten signs are enough.
If the job needs one hundred boards, the live 12×18 front-only build is $4.20 per sign delivered to that ZIP. Both sides adds about $1.16 per sign at the 25-piece checkpoint. When a sign must stand on concrete without a stake, compare the current A-frame option on the live form.
Design rules that keep a hundred signs readable
A cheap sign that drivers cannot read is not cheap. Keep these rules on the artwork before approving a proof:
- Five-word rule: at 30 MPH a driver has about three seconds. Service, phone, arrow. Nothing else earns space.
- Letter height: at least 3 inch letters, about 216 pt, on a 12×18; 4 inches or more on 18×24.
- Flute direction: flutes run vertically so the step stake slides in; on an 18×24 the flutes follow the 18-inch side.
- Stake zone: keep key text two inches above the bottom edge where the stake frame sits.
- Corner lots: two-way traffic earns the both-sides upgrade; a blank white back is a wasted impression.

Yard sign bulk pricing FAQ
Is 100 yard signs for $99 ever a real delivered price?
The headline alone is not enough to tell. Check the material, ink coverage, number of printed sides, hardware, shipping, and tax before treating it as a delivered total. At 55printing, one hundred full-color 12×18 signs with stakes were $334.47 for print plus $85.85 ground shipping to ZIP 33140, or $420.32 delivered, checked October 14, 2026.
What does 55printing include in its sign price?
The product price is full-color UV printing on 4mm corrugated plastic, and the metal step stake ships with the sign. There is no per-color charge, so photos, gradients, and QR codes print at the same rate as plain text. Standard production runs three to five business days, with a free digital proof before anything presses.
How much are 100 yard signs with stakes at 55printing?
One hundred 12×18 front-only signs totaled $334.47 for print plus $85.85 ground shipping to ZIP 33140, which is $420.32 delivered, or about $4.20 per sign, checked October 14, 2026. The same count in 18×24 priced at $464.21 print and $550.06 delivered. Shipping varies with destination, so read the checkout quote for your ZIP.
Can I get real full-color yard signs for under $100?
Yes, at a smaller count. Ten 12×18 full-color signs with stakes cost $44.73 for print plus $53.22 ground, or $97.95 delivered to ZIP 33140 on October 14, 2026. That covers an open house, a weekend sale, or a small job site. The $99 teaser fails at one hundred; it quietly works at ten.
Are wire stakes always separate on cheap sign deals?
Not always. The offer details and checkout determine whether stakes are included or priced separately. At 55printing, the metal step stake is included in the listed yard sign print price. Confirm the hardware line on any other quote before comparing its per-sign price with the totals on this page.
Should I print one side or both sides of a yard sign?
Match it to the traffic pattern. A sign facing a one-direction street or a wall can stay front-only. A corner lot, median, or two-way street earns the both-sides upgrade, which ran about $1.16 more per sign at 25 pieces on October 14, 2026. A blank white back facing half your drivers is a wasted impression.
What size yard sign should I order for roadside reading?
The 12×18 is the standard campaign and sale size and the cheapest per unit. Step to 18×24 when the sign must read from farther back or carry a longer message, and keep letters at least 3 inches tall on the small size and 4 inches on the larger. Drivers at 30 MPH get about three seconds, so size follows copy length.
How fast can a bulk yard sign order arrive?
Standard production on the order form runs three to five business days, with ground transit after that, so plan the in-hand date backward from the event. Freight-style teaser orders are not faster just because the headline is cheap. If the deadline is inside a week, configure the live form early and read the delivery estimate at checkout.
