What-Are-Real-Estate-Riders

What are Real Estate Riders?

A sign rider is a smaller sign that accompanies a larger sign or graphic in a real estate frame. Sign riders are usually placed either below or above (or both) the larger graphic in the frame. Additionally they are used on posts and even hang from other post signs in some cases.

They are most commonly 24”x6” but can be other sizes including 36” x 6”. They are most often used to provide additional information to a bigger sign, such as: “Under Contract”, “Open House”, etc. The primary use of sign riders is within the real estate industry.

Q:
Is it possible to order different material sign riders in a single order?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, you simply need to add one sign rider to your cart and then duplicate the design from your cart or saved designs and change the material for the other sign(s). Keep in mind, however, that you cannot select two different materials for one sign design at the same time.
Q:
How thick are your real estate sign riders? Do different materials change their thickness?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The rider materials can be up to ½-inch thick max. The thickness of your signs will vary depending on what material you select. Keep in mind that the thickness of the frame itself doesn't change regardless of the sign material type; we don't currently offer alternative frame thicknesses.

Q:
Can I display a sign rider on its own – without the use of a real estate frame, post, or A-frame?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Real estate sign riders are specifically designed to be displayed in a real estate frame. If you wish to display sign riders without the frame, we recommend you visit the specific material page (aluminum, corrugated plastic, and plastic, etc.) to order a sign that can be best displayed without the use of a metal frame.

Q:
What are standard or common sizes for real estate sign riders? Am I able to create a rider in any size?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Our standard sizes for real estate sign riders are 24" x 6" and 36" x 6" — the smaller version is sized for our metal frames, A-frames, and small post; while the larger version is sized for our large real estate post. In addition, we do offer riders in custom sizes (aluminum, corrugated plastic, and rigid plastic).

Q:
Can I order custom-shaped sign riders – circular, triangular, etc.?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Sign riders are typically rectangular signs that measure 24" x 6" with a thickness less than ½-inch to be compatible with our real estate frames. However, we do offer custom-shaped signs for aluminum, plastic, and yard signs (corrugated plastic). Simply navigate to the respective product page in our top nav and customize your sign however you want!

Q:
Will my real estate rider have rounded corners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We offer rounded corners in our riders for posts and for custom orders. Our riders for A-frames and metal frames, however, do not have rounded corners.
Q:
Can I order a double-sided sign rider? Can I print one message on the front side of my sign and a different message on the back?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, sign riders can be printed single- or double-sided, and you can indeed have separate messages printed on each side. Simply select the double-sided option in our design tool to enable this. If the back side of your sign is different, just upload a different design to the back side of the sign using the design tool.

Q:
Do you print directly onto the surface of the sign rider? Or do you simply print onto vinyl and then adhere that to the top of the sign material?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The design portion of the sign rider will be printed directly onto the surface of the sign rider material using UV inks. Printing the design directly on the material permanently adheres it, resulting in a long-lasting, vibrant design that's also weather-resistant. Visit the individual material page for more information about the printing process we use.

Q:
Are drilled holes an available option for sign riders?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Since none of our riders need drilled holes to be installed in their respective signs, we do not offer drilled holes for riders.
Q:
Do you offer blank sign riders?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, blank sign riders are available for purchase. In our design tool, select a blank template to order a blank sign rider.
