Seattle-area sign company
Ardor Printing is a sign company in Snohomish, WA, serving Seattle, WA and the Puget Sound. We design, print, cut and install custom business signs: aluminum and Dibond signs, acrylic lobby signs, A-frame sidewalk signs, coroplast yard signs, safety and parking signs, wayfinding signs, real estate signs, menu boards, pylon sign panels and building signs. Whether you need one storefront sign or high-quality signs and graphics for a whole campus, our Seattle-area sign shop handles design, printing and installation.
Your sign is often the first piece of visual communication a customer sees, so we design every sign to read clearly from the street. We print in full color on UV flatbed printers, contour-cut custom shapes on a Zund cutter, and install with our own crew, so the sign you approve is the sign that goes up.

Sign materials, layer by layer
Dibond is two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene core: 1/8 in thick, rigid, flat and made for the weather. Scroll to take one apart, then see the two ways we print it.
The panel
Option 1
We print your design straight onto the aluminum face on our UV flatbed, then seal it with a gloss UV coat.
Option 2
We print your design on white vinyl, cover it with a clear overlaminate and mount it to the panel.

Choosing a sign material
Every board is built differently. Pick what your sign is for, or scroll through the materials to see what each one is made of.
1/8 in · Indoor and outdoor
Two aluminum sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene core. Rigid, flat and weatherproof.
4 mm · Outdoor, short term
Two thin polypropylene walls joined by ribs called flutes, like plastic cardboard. Light and waterproof, and H-stakes slide into the flutes.
3/16 in · Indoor only
A light polystyrene foam center between two smooth paper faces. Easy to carry and easy on the budget.
3/16 or 1/2 in · Indoor
A foam core between hard wood-fiber faces. Much stiffer than foam board, so it doesn't warp or dent easily.
1/8 in · Indoor, short-term outdoor
Expanded PVC foam, the same all the way through, so it cuts into clean shapes and letters. Water resistant and lightly flexible.
.040 in · Outdoor, long term
One solid sheet of sign-grade aluminum that won't rust. Thin, tough and made to bolt to a post or wall.
1/4 in clear · Mostly indoor
Clear acrylic printed on the back, so the glossy acrylic face protects the print. A white backing makes the colors pop.

Order online or get a quote
Seattle-area businesses can design and order these signs online today. Most online orders ship free anywhere in the US, and yard signs, A-frames, rigid signs and banners can also be picked up free at our Snohomish shop.
We also quote and install building and storefront signs, post and panel signs, pylon and monument panels, acrylic lobby signs, window graphics and wall graphics and murals across King and Snohomish counties.
Large format printing
Ardor Printing does large format printing, also called wide format or large scale printing, for businesses in Seattle, WA and across the Puget Sound. We print banners, rigid signs, wall graphics, window graphics, canvas and acrylic prints and vehicle graphics in-house at our 30,000-square-foot production facility in Snohomish. Pick up free, have online orders shipped, or let our crew install.
Wide format printing is printing that is too big for a standard paper printer: banners, large format signs and signage, wall murals, window graphics and vehicle wraps. It is the same thing as large format printing. We print on rolls of vinyl, banner material and window film, or straight onto rigid boards like aluminum, PVC and foam board with direct UV ink.
13 oz vinyl from $60, plus mesh, 18 oz blockout, fabric, pole and backlit banners. Open the banner designer or see all banners and banner printing in Seattle.
Coroplast, aluminum, Dibond, PVC, foam board, GatorFoam, styrene and acrylic, cut to size or shape. Open the Rigid Sign Designer or shop all rigid signs.
Wall wraps, murals and floor graphics, printed in-house and installed on site. See wall wraps & murals.
Storefront graphics, window lettering, perforated film and frosted film for shops and offices. See window graphics.
Photos, art and logos on canvas or clear acrylic for lobbies, offices and homes. Design a canvas print or see canvas printing and acrylic prints.
Full and partial wraps, fleet lettering and cut vinyl decals, installed by our crew. See vehicle wraps.
Turnaround: most vinyl banners are ready 1 to 3 business days after you approve your proof, and we have rush and next-day options on many banners and signs; ask when you order. Sizes: our largest in-house rigid signs are 4 x 8 ft PVC, foam board and GatorFoam and coroplast sheets up to 5 x 10 ft (pickup only). Mesh and 18 oz blockout banners can be ordered online up to 10 ft on the short side, and bigger building banners are made in sections and quoted.

“We ordered two custom signs to display our high end sports cars at car shows and special events.

The end results exceeded expectations. The signs came out great. I highly recommend Ardor Printing.”

Aluminum composite (Dibond) is our most popular outdoor sign material because it is rigid, lightweight, weather resistant and stays flat.
