How to Order a Custom Sign Fast with Your Own Artwork | The Sign Shoppe Quick Order Tool

Already have a finished design? You’re closer to a custom sign than you think. With The Sign Shoppe’s Quick Order tool, you can upload your artwork, choose a size, select your sign options, and place your order—all in one place.

Our Quick Order tool makes it easy to turn it into a custom sign in just a few clicks. Here’s how it works.

1. Upload your artwork

Start by uploading your finished sign design to our Quick Order Tool. We accept PDF, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files.

For the sharpest print, upload your original, high-resolution file. A screenshot or an image saved from social media may look fine on your phone, but appear blurry when enlarged for a sign. Whenever possible, use a computer to upload your artwork; mobile devices tend to compress file sizes.

2. Choose your sign size

Once your artwork is uploaded, the tool helps you choose a sign size based on your file’s resolution and ratio. You’ll see which sizes are ideal for printing and which may reduce image sharpness.

For best results, aim for 300 DPI at your chosen sign size. We can accept artwork at 175 DPI or higher, though a higher-resolution file will give you the crispest result. If you choose a size that isn’t recommended for your file, the tool will let you know before you order.

3. Select your sign options

Next, choose how you’d like your sign made, including your mounting-hole placement. Take a moment to think about where the sign will hang or be installed so you can select the option that fits your space.

Our signs are made from durable aluminum composite material and printed directly with UV ink. They have a protective glossy finish and are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

4. Review your design and place your order

Before checkout, review your artwork, size, and selected options. Check the spelling and details in your uploaded file, too—Quick Order is designed for artwork that’s already finished and ready to print.

Once everything looks right, approve your sign for production and place your order. We typically produce orders in 1–3 business days, followed by approximately 2 business days in transit.

A quick artwork checklist

Before you upload, make sure:

  • You’re using the original PNG, JPG, or JPEG file.
  • Design your artwork exactly the size you would like printed.
  • Spelling is correct.
  • Important text and logos have some space around the edges to prevent getting cut.
