CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5

Create any type of high-quality sign or vinyl graphics

With the best tools in the industry for importing artwork, manipulating text and clipart, and creating custom graphics, it's no surprise that CorelDRAW has become the design software of choice for sign makers. It includes more than 100 import and export filters, bitmap-to-vector tracing, vector cropping, professionally designed templates and valuable learning resources that are aimed at optimizing your workflow.

As sign making continues to transition from vinyl cutting to digital printing, many of the top companies in the sign making industry have adopted CorelDRAW as their primary design application, abandoning their standalone sign design programs. When integrated with Smart Designer and SmartCut Pro, CorelDRAW is the most user-friendly and powerful sign design and production software in the sign making industry.
