Ordering a custom sign online should be faster than driving to a print counter, and cheaper. Here is how the process works at RaahSign, what you need before you start, and how to avoid the mistakes that delay orders.
Step 1: pick the product
Banners for temporary and outdoor messages, yard signs for lawns and directions, rigid ACM, aluminum or PVC for permanent signs, window graphics for glass, and a retractable stand for indoor displays. Browse the full catalog.
Step 2: enter your exact size
Custom-size products are priced by the square foot. Type the width and height in inches and the price updates instantly. There is a $10 minimum per item so small pieces still cover setup.
Step 3: choose options
Print sides, grommets, pole pockets, mounting holes, application side for window vinyl. Every option you pick is recorded on your order so production sees exactly what you chose.
Step 4: artwork
- Upload a print-ready file (PDF, PNG or JPG). Our preflight tool previews it at your size and flags low resolution.
- Upload and let us check it. We fix small issues and send a proof.
- Need design help? Choose that option and describe the sign. We contact you.
- Design it yourself in the free online design studio, which sends the print file straight to your cart.
Step 5: approve a free proof
Nothing prints until you approve a digital proof. This is where typos, wrong sizes and color surprises get caught, at no cost to you.
Step 6: checkout and shipping
Pay by card, Cash App Pay, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Square. Shipping is a flat $25 anywhere in the US and free on orders over $150. Chicago-area customers get local delivery times without a trip across town.
Why order online instead of a print counter?
You see the exact price before you commit, you choose every option yourself, your proof arrives by email, and the sign ships to your door. A sign shop that prints in-house, like RaahSign, also handles sizes and materials that office-supply counters do not stock.
