What Material are Your Cheerleading Signs Made Out Of?
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: standard 4mm, premium 10mm, and solidcore 6mm. 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.
Our standard 4mm signs are the most popular option for cheerleading teams. They’re made from a lightweight, fluted, corrugated plastic. 4mm signs can be custom cut (including with or without handles) into any shape, come in a variety of sizes, and can be vividly printed in full color, single- or double-sided. Corrugated plastic signs are more water resistant than solidcore signs. The biggest drawback to 4mm signs is that they are easier to bend than our premium 10mm options or solidcore 6mm options. But cheerleading teams love how lightweight they are, their affordability, and how creative they can be with their designs.
Our premium 10mm signs are similar to the 4mm signs—they’re both made from a lightweight, fluted, corrugated plastic. 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. Premium 10mm signs are only available as square or rectangular cuts and come without handles. However, these heavy-duty signs are super durable and less likely to bend or break during practice or competition.
Our solidcore 6mm signs are the most unique option among the bunch. Unlike the 4mm and 10mm signs, the 6mm signs are made from a lightweight, solidcore, rigid, hard plastic. These 6mm signs can be custom cut (including with or without handles) into any shape, come in a variety of sizes, and can be vividly printed in full color, single- or double-sided. The biggest drawback to 6mm signs is that they are more likely to crack or dent if dropped compared to the 4mm or 10mm options. However, the 6mm solidcore signs offer a more professional appearance and matte finish which will help your team stand out!
