Exploring Corrugated Plastic Uses and Advantages

Corrugated plastic is a lightweight and durable material used for outdoor promotional signs, event stages, temporary roofing, floor coverings, storage containers, and pet enclosures.

Discover the common uses of this durable material and why it’s our top choice for making yard signs.

What is Corrugated Plastic?

Corrugated plastic, or corriboard, is an extruded twin-wall plastic sheet featuring a ribbed central layer and two flat sheets.

It’s crafted from high-impact polypropylene resin, creating a tough yet lightweight material that’s easily printable and cut into various sizes.

Parallel ridges and surface furrows creating a corrugated pattern define the look of these plastic sheets.

Popular brand names include Coroplast, Correx, Proplex, FlutePlast, and Polyflute.

Top Corrugated Plastic Uses

Here are the top applications for corrugated plastic:

• Yard signs for outdoor advertising, especially commercial, political, and real estate promotions. Roofing contractor Zach Blenkinsopp shares that corrugated plastic is perfect for outdoor yard signs as it’s durable enough to withstand the elements. Strategic placement of these plastic outdoor signs generated lots of substantial leads and new clients for his business. Corrugated plastic yard signs also play a major role during election seasons in the U.S. They are effective campaign tools that boost name recognition.
• Stage and Event Structures for outdoor events, corrugated plastic can be cut to shape for stages, race finishes line trusses or event booths.
• Packaging, such as flexible plastic containers and reusable packaging
• Temporary shelters and structures after natural disasters. Corrugated plastic is waterproof, easy to install, and simple to tear down.
• Temporary roofing material, surface protection for walls and floors, site barriers, and dust containment during construction, repair, and remodeling projects
• Pet enclosures, particularly low-maintenance DIY cages for domesticated animals, as corrugated plastic is non-toxic, easy to clean, and moisture-repellent
• Hobbies, such as model aircraft requiring lightweight, flexible construction

Benefits of Corrugated Plastic in Signage Printing

Corrugated plastic is an excellent material for lawn signs and event structures. Here’s why:

Lightweight and Sturdy

Corrugated plastic signs, typically 4 mm thick, are easy to transport, set up, and store. The corrugated pattern enhances their structural integrity and tensile strength. 

With superior corrugated plastic sheet strength, these yard signs withstand rugged use all year. They maintain a rigid shape while remaining impact-resistant.

Weather-Resistant

Corrugated plastic yard signs are strong, UV-resistant, and waterproof, holding up well to harsh outdoor conditions. 

They don’t fade, lose shape, or get damaged easily, even with constant sun and rain exposure. 

So don’t hesitate to put up that yard sign to promote your business, show your political support, or announce a real estate sale. Rain or shine, it will survive!

Cost-Effective

Basic single-sided yard signs cost are usually less $20. Orders or larger quantity can bring the cost down.

Corrugated plastic signs come in various vibrant colors, perfect for your marketing campaign.

We can cut your yard signs to your desired shape and size and print a custom design that conveys your message accurately, whether you want a single-sided or double-sided lawn sign.

Non-Toxic and Recyclable

Corrugated plastic made from polypropylene is safe for humans and animals, unlike plastics with toxic BPA. It withstands extreme temperatures without producing dangerous chemicals.

Plus, it’s easy to recycle for eco-friendly use, although non-biodegradable.

Pro Tip: Clean and store your yard signs properly so they will last for years. I recommend adding grommets for extra durability and a professional finish if you intend to reuse your outdoor signs.
