When ordering your cheerleading signs, you’re probably interested in the size, shape, colors, and design, but have you stopped to think about the material your signs will be printed on? At CheerleadingSigns.Shop, our varsity cheerleading signs are available in three different materials: economy 4mm, preferred 10mm, and solidflex 3mm. They all have different benefits. While our standard 4mm coroplast is the most popular option, there are use cases where teams might prefer a sturdier or more aesthetically pleasing alternative.
Note: Due to the nature of use of cheerleading signs in competition and sideline routines, wear and tear should be expected.

Our economy 4mm signs are the classic option for cheerleading teams. They’re made from a lightweight, fluted, corrugated plastic. 4mm signs can be cut into any shape—like a mascot—come in a variety of sizes, and can be vividly printed in full color, single- or double-sided. The biggest drawback to 4mm signs is that they are easier to bend than our preferred 10mm options or composite 3mm options. Like with all cheerleading signs, wear and tear should be expected with use in competition and sideline routines. But cheerleading teams love how lightweight they are, their affordability, and how creative they can be with their designs.

Our preferred 10mm signs are similar to the 4mm signs—they’re both made from a lightweight, fluted, corrugated plastic. However, these heavy-duty signs are thicker, super durable, and less likely to bend or break during practice or competition. Like with all cheerleading signs, wear and tear should be expected with use in competition and sideline routines. But while both signs are available in a variety of sizes and vividly printed in full-color, single- or double-sided, 10mm signs cannot be custom cut. Preferred 10mm signs are only available as square or rectangular cuts and come without handles.

Our solidflex 3mm signs are made of lightweight, solid PVC with a slight flex that reduces the risk of creasing or cracking in high-impact situations. Solidflex 3mm signs can be cut into any shape and have a smooth finish. Solidflex 3mm signs are comfortable to hold and sturdy for sideline routines, competitions, and everything in between. The PVC material has an inherent flexibility, making them more resistant to high-impact situations like banging against your knees or dropping on the floor; however, like with all cheerleading signs, wear and tear should be expected with use in competition and sideline routines.
