typically made from corplast that has been scored & folded
You can also use coated cardboard if it will be for exterior usage

we prefer the 4mm material

The design blows chunks. Hard to read sideways. Copy is too small to read from automobile distance. Too many different fonts. Should I continue?

Nope.


They were most likely designed in China where that's the way they read....... duh.

If you look closely you see clear strapping tape holding the WalMart one together. It makes the parking stops look nicer.

Chinese and Japanese traditionally are read from top to bottom. The kanji and hiragana characters are not rotated 90 degees as seen in the sign design.
Here is my granparent's grave marker. The kanji is read from top to bottom and is not rotated.

While it might be rotated 90 degrees, it's still being read from top to bottom. Let's not split hairs, now.
