Why Screen Printing Is Still King

There’s more than one way to print a sign on a budget — but screen printing still delivers the best bang for your buck.


When you’re shopping for cheap yard signs or low-cost business signage, you’re bound to find a dizzying mix of promises:

  • “Digitally printed”
  • “UV-cured full color”
  • “No minimums”

Sounds great—until your signs fade, curl, or arrive looking like they came off a grocery store coupon printer.

At Super Cheap Signs, we’ve stuck with screen printing for over 30 years. Not because it’s old-school, but because it works. Every time.


What Is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a hands-on process that presses real ink into real material. No toner, no shortcuts.

Compared to flatbed inkjet or digital vinyl wraps, screen-printed signs:

  • Deliver bold, crisp colors
  • Won’t flake, smear, or peel
  • Stand up to rain, wind, heat, and time
  • Look just as sharp on day 10 as they did on day 1

Why It’s Still the Smartest, Most Cost-Effective Option

When you’re ordering in volume—say, 10, 100, or even 1,000 signs—screen printing isn’t just more durable. It’s more affordable.

  • Less waste
  • Faster batching
  • No digital bleed or ghosting
  • Lower cost per unit
  • All produced in-house, on our presses, by folks who care

It’s rare these days that the best method also happens to be the most cost-effective. This is one of those times.


The Problem with Cutting the Wrong Corners

You’ve seen the offers—signs seemingly cheap as dirt. They sound like a deal, maybe even too good to pass up.

But cutting the wrong corners? That’s where things start falling apart.

  • Ink that runs or fades before the week’s out
  • Plastic so thin it folds in the breeze
  • Edges that peel before your message even makes it out the door

And under the Texas sun? That’s when the truth really shows.

Reds turn pink.
Black turns blue.
And you’re left with an unreadable, sun-faded waste of money.

We don’t print that way.

We screen print — with real ink, real materials, and real American people right here in the heart of Texas — making sure your signs don’t just show up… they show out.
