Union Campaign Yard Signs Missouri
Union bug on every sign. Rush service for election deadlines. Missouri campaigns have trusted MCI since 1984.
Why Missouri Campaigns Choose Union Yard Signs
In Missouri politics, the union bug is more than a logo. It's a credential that can determine whether labor organizations endorse your campaign — and those endorsements matter in St. Louis, Kansas City, and labor-heavy districts across the state.
Most major Missouri labor unions require the union bug on all campaign materials as a condition of endorsement. Campaigns that show up with non-union yard signs can be disqualified before the conversation starts. At MCI, the union bug comes standard — it's not an add-on or an option. We've been a union shop since the day we opened in 1984.
We're also WBE certified — Women's Business Enterprise — making MCI one of the only union print shops in Missouri that also qualifies as a certified diverse vendor. For campaigns that need to check both boxes, there's no one else.

Which Sign Size for Which Placement?
Size selection is a field decision, not a budget question. The right size depends on where the sign goes and how fast traffic moves past it. Every size below carries the union bug — printed in St. Louis, rush service available in 1–2 business days.
| Size | Best Placement | Stake / Hardware | Typical Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18" × 24" | Residential lawns, neighborhood blocks, low-speed streets (25–35 mph) | H-wire stake (included) — push into soft ground, no tools required | 50–500 typical; large precinct campaigns order 1,000+ | Most popular size. Most Missouri campaigns start here. |
| 24" × 36" | Arterial roads, commercial corridors, 35–45 mph traffic | H-wire stake (included) or wood post for longer runs | 25–150 typical; mix with 18×24 for budget efficiency | Legible at higher speeds. Anchor arterial corridors, fill neighborhoods with 18×24. |
| 4' × 8' | Major intersections, highway approaches, rally backdrops, fence lines | Wood or metal post framing — contact us, we advise on hardware | 5–30 typical; high cost-per-sign, high-visibility ROI | Dominates a corner. One 4×8 at a major intersection outperforms 20 residential signs for name ID. |
| Custom | Non-standard dimensions, banners, foam board, or specialty materials — call (314) 849-7228 | |||
MCI's Wedge: Union Bug + Rush in One Shop
National online printers can match price on 18×24 signs. What they can't match: the union bug (a genuine Allied Printing Trades Council certification, not a clip-art logo), WBE certification, and 1–2 business day rush when the schedule allows. For Missouri labor endorsements, only the union bug from a certified shop counts.
Serving Missouri Campaigns Statewide
Based in St. Louis, we ship union campaign yard signs to campaigns across Missouri and into Illinois. Free local delivery in the St. Louis metro area.
Union Campaign Yard Sign FAQs
Do Missouri campaigns need union-printed yard signs?▼
While not legally required statewide, union-printed materials — identified by the union bug — are often expected by labor unions that endorse candidates. Many Missouri unions require the union bug on all campaign materials as a condition of endorsement. Campaigns in districts with strong union membership (St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City) benefit significantly from using a union print shop.
What is the union bug on campaign yard signs?▼
The union bug (also called a union label) is a small emblem printed on materials to certify they were produced by union workers. For yard signs, it typically appears in small print on the back or corner of the sign. It identifies the print shop and the relevant union local. Political campaigns use it to signal support for organized labor and to secure union endorsements.
How fast can you print campaign yard signs in Missouri?▼
MCI offers rush production for tight campaign deadlines. Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days. Rush service can be as fast as 1–2 business days depending on quantity and current production schedule. Call (314) 849-7228 to discuss your deadline — we've helped campaigns hit their mail dates for over 40 years.
What sizes do union campaign yard signs come in, and where should each size go?▼
Three sizes cover most Missouri campaigns: 18"×24" for residential lawns and neighborhood placement (most popular, H-stake included); 24"×36" for arterial roads and high-traffic corridors where drivers need more reading distance; and 4'×8' corrugated or foam board for major intersections, rallies, and high-visibility anchor placements. All sizes carry the union bug. Rush production — as fast as 1–2 business days — is available on all three sizes depending on current schedule.
Do you ship union yard signs to campaigns outside St. Louis?▼
Yes. MCI ships union-printed campaign yard signs throughout Missouri and Illinois. We offer free local delivery in the St. Louis metro area. For campaigns in Kansas City, Springfield, Jefferson City, Columbia, and other Missouri markets, we ship via UPS or freight depending on quantity.
