Graduation is a big deal, especially during the busy May–June graduation season. Whether it’s kindergarten, high school, or college, students work hard to reach that finish line. One of the best ways to show support and recognize their achievement is with a graduation sign.
At Sarasota Sign Shop, we help families and schools create custom graduation signs that make the moment feel special. From eye-catching yard signs to bold banners for ceremonies, we offer fast turnaround, durable materials, and designs that stand out. Allow our beautiful signs to complement the big occasion.
Popular Custom Graduation Sign Options
We offer a range of signs that fit any setting, whether you’re decorating your lawn, a school campus, or a stage. Here are our most popular options:
- Graduation Yard Signs: Made from weather-resistant materials and corrugated plastic with a wire stake, these are ideal for front yards. Include the graduate’s name, school, photo, or mascot.
- Graduation Banners: Hang them at parties or ceremonies. Available in vinyl with grommets for easy installation.
- Photo Props and Cutouts: Life-sized or smaller cutouts that make great additions to parties and photo booths.
- Directional Signs: Guide guests to the ceremony, parking, or party area.
Each sign is printed with high-quality ink that resists fading—even in Florida sun.
Built to Last in Any Weather
All of our signs are produced using top-tier equipment, including our Epson V7000 flatbed printer and advanced latex printers. These machines deliver high-definition prints using UV and water-resistant inks, so your signs stay vibrant rain or shine.
Thanks to the durability of our print process, there’s no need for laminates. Our signs can handle Sarasota’s humidity, heat, and storms without curling, peeling, or fading over time. Whether your sign is indoors or outdoors, it’s built to last through the entire graduation season—and beyond.
Designed Your Way
We offer fully custom designs, so no two signs are the same. You can:
- Choose school colors
- Add photos or mascots
- Pick from pre-made templates
- Work with our design team for something one-of-a-kind
We also keep designs on file, which makes it easy for schools to reorder year after year or for families with multiple graduates.
Fast Turnaround Times
We know graduations sneak up fast. That’s why we offer quick production times. Most orders are ready within 3 to 5 business days. Rush orders are also available during peak season.
For larger school or district orders, we recommend getting started at least 2-3 weeks ahead of the event.
Bulk Orders for Schools
We work directly with schools and PTAs to produce:
- Lawn signs for entire graduating classes
- Stage banners for ceremonies
- Backdrops for graduation photos
- Graduation Party Signage
Discounted pricing is available for bulk orders. Let us know your quantity and deadline, and we’ll provide a custom quote.
Why Local Signs Matter
Online templates can be convenient, but working with a local print shop gives you more:
- Faster service
- Better quality control
- Custom design support
- Local pickup (no shipping delays)
Plus, supporting local means putting money back into the Sarasota community.
