Choosing the Right Sign Material: Bond vs. Coro (Corrugated Plastic)

When ordering a custom sign, choosing the right material is just as important as the design itself. The material you pick determines how your sign is displayed, how long it lasts, and how it handles the elements.

At SignKing.com, we offer two highly popular options for outdoor and indoor signage: Bond (Aluminum Composite) and Coro (Corrugated Plastic). Here is a breakdown of their differences to help you choose the perfect fit for your project.

What is Bond Material?

Bond (often referred to as aluminum composite or Dibond) is a premium, heavy-duty signage material. It features a solid, rigid core sandwiched between two flat sheets of aluminum, making it exceptionally durable and sleek.

• Edging: The material is completely solid on all edges, giving it a clean, high-end, and professional finish.

• Mounting: It is best suited for hanging or mounting. We can easily add grommets on the top or corners so you can securely hang it on frames, walls, or posts.

• Best For: Long-term outdoor use, permanent real estate signs, store architectural signage, and high-wind environments where bending is not an option.

What is Coro Material?

Coro (short for Coroplast or corrugated plastic) is the industry standard for lightweight, cost-effective, and temporary signage. If you've ever seen a classic yard sign, you've seen Coro.

• Structure: The material is vertically fluted, meaning it has hollow ribs running through the inside (similar to a plastic cardboard).

• Mounting: Because of these internal flutes, it is perfectly designed to use with wire H-stakes that slide directly into the sign and push into the ground. (Note: Grommets on top are also okay if you prefer to hang it instead!)

• Best For: Temporary outdoor advertising, campaign signs, event directional signs, and classic "House For Sale" yard signs.

Summary Comparison: Bond vs. Coro

Which Material Should You Choose?

• Choose Bond if you need a permanent, premium-looking sign that will hang from a rigid frame or mount flat against a wall.

• Choose Coro if you need an affordable, lightweight solution that can be quickly staked into grass or soil for roadside visibility.

Bleed or Bleeds is a printing term that is used to describe a document which has images or elements that touch the edge of the page or sheet, extending beyond the trim edge and leaving no white margin. When a document has bleed, it must be printed on a larger sheet of paper or a larger panel size and then trimed down to ensure the ink runs fully to the edge and does not stop short of it.

When ordering special effects like Foil or Spot UV job, You will need to include a second file in black and white along with the regular full color file.

Print File

Black and White file (this sample will be silver foil)

Sample with special effect added to print file

The Black and white file will be used to show where the special effect (Spot UV, Foil, Embossing, Etc) will be placed. You will need a spot file for each special effect and for each side of your print job.

Use BLACK (100% K) to indicate where you would like the special effect. White areas will not have the special effect.

FAQ: How do i set up a die line for cutting?

100% Magenta Die line - 1pt stroke weight

Die line should be a 1pt stroke weight with no filll and 100%M in color only. The computer picks up the magenta die line and cuts out the shape.

 

 

If there is no die line the end result with be a rectangle the size of your artboard and shown CYAN.

 

Installing stand off mounts

1. Level panel

2. Mark holes

3. Screw spacers into wall (EXTRA HEAVY panel = Drill holes & Insert achors before screwing barrels)

4. Hold panel & attach caps

 Rounded Corner Sizes

1/8" and 1/4" are available for business cards standard and 1/2" is typically for signs.

Files should always be converted into CMYK before submitting for print so you know what to expect. If you submit a RGB file you may not be satisfied with your job.

Why does your monitor look different then your printed project?

- There are several color models, but the two biggest are RGB and CMYK.

- RGB is the color model for light. Anything that deals with or needs light to function – think of TVs, computer screens, movie projectors, digital cameras, and phones – will work with the RGB model. To make things easy, color models are known by their primary colors, so, RGB stands for red, green, and blue.

- CMYK is the color model for print. The primary colors for this color model are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Printers do not have the added white ink.

- Because colors are created differently in each, there are going to be certain discrepancies when you move from one model to another, like from a business card design on your computer screen that gets printed out.

- Also problematic is that it’s possible to create millions of shades of color your computer, but not every shade is possible to replicate with ink.

- The best way to minimize shifting is to start your printed projects in cmyk color mode to begin with.

 How to find print templates

This chart is for you to choose colors by number to help your designer with a starting point for your color choices. Printing uses different colorspace then Pantone books and therefore will not match exactly on output of your printed product. We do not guarantee color output to match pantone numbers.

HELP - Blues Shifting Purple

The issue of blue colors shifting to a purple during the printing process can happen if the file is not set up properly. This mainly effects offset printing such as business cards, postcards and brochures.

Also, Some bright blues seen on screen cannot be replicated during the printing process so it is best to always convert your files into cmyk so you can see the color shift.

 Do you accept borders on print job?

1/4” Thick Border to trim line is acceptable and will finish centered.

Borders under 1/4” may be too thin to center properly and could possibly be finished off-cetner.

*We do not reccomend borders under 1/4" thick. Print at your own risk.
