A versatile sign

Promote a sale, share key business info or draw attention to your product promotions with cardboard signs. Budget-friendly, versatile and available in 8 different sizes, these display signs look good and are hard to miss. And as they're so lightweight and sturdy, our signs can be easily repositioned and even taken to and from events and trade shows before being put back to work in your shop.

4 materials, 1 great sign

Choose from 4 material and thickness options to match your needs. DISPA® 3.8 mm is an FSC®-certified indoor paperboard with a layered core – a lightweight alternative to plastic. E-Flute 4 mm features a durable, double-layered corrugated core with smooth surfaces on both sides. For a more rigid option, Honeycomb 10 mm offers a lightweight yet sturdy structure, while Honeycomb 16 mm is an ultra-thick, heavy-duty cardboard suited for larger displays. All options are available in standard or custom shapes and sizes, with single or double-sided printing.

Printed well, packaged well, sides were slightly damaged otherwise, I would've given it a 5*.

Speedy Delivery but Damaged Goods

I ordered a large card sign for our engagement party, and when we received it, we noticed the box had been damaged and slightly bent. There was no 'fragile' label to indicate it needed to be handled with care and the box itself wasn't sturdy. When we opened it up, there wasn't sufficient protection and sign had been bent in the exact same way the outside of the box was. We reported it and a replacement was sent out to us immediately. However, when the replacement arrived the new sign had the same fate but luckily, only the back of the sign was damaged and it was hardly noticeable from the front, so we were able to use this. As great as the service and delivery was, this does put me off using Vista Print in the future, more so for urgent delivery times.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your Cardboard Signs arrived damaged twice due to compromised packaging during transit. While we are glad the replacement sign was usable for your engagement party and that our team was able to assist you quickly, we completely understand your frustration regarding the packaging and delivery experience. Your comments regarding the lack of fragile labeling, box sturdiness, and protective packaging are extremely important to us. We appreciate you bringing these specific details to our attention, as we will be sharing your insights directly with our relevant teams to help improve our packaging standards and shipping practices moving forward. Thank you again for your candid review, and congratulations on your engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Products with the FSC® logo have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®), the world’s leading organization for responsible forest management, as well as the Rainforest Alliance. The processing of trees is what makes FSC®-certified products a more environmentally friendly and sustainable option. Trees selected are replanted and allowed to naturally regrow and regenerate without harming the environment or wildlife. Our FSC®-certified wooden signs are durable, affordable and print very nicely – which means you can get vivid, high-quality artwork.

DISPA® is a paperboard that's specifically designed for signage and displays. It’s made from 100% FSC®-certified paper and offers rigidity and strength despite its lightweight nature, so it won't bend or warp easily. Both sides have a bright white, flat surface – making DISPA® ideal for high-quality printing. The signs can also be cut, shaped and drilled easily so they can be displayed almost anywhere.

Foam boards are made of 5 mm-thick polyester foam lined with polyethylene-coated paper that is rarely recyclable. Cardboard signs are made of 840 gsm, multi-layer DISPA® card stock with a double-flute core — FSC®-certified and fully recyclable. This makes it a sturdier and a more environmentally friendly option compared to the traditional foam boards signs.
