A-Frame Sign
An A-frame sign is the sidewalk sign you set outside your door: two printed panels on a hinged frame that stand in an A shape, read from both sides, and fold flat when you bring them in. Ours is the frame with replaceable printed panels, so when the offer, the event or the season changes you print new panels rather than buying a new sign. Choose 18" x 24" for a counter or doorway, 24" x 36" for a pavement sign that has to be read from a few steps away, or a custom size, and print the same artwork on both faces or a different message on each.

Frequently asked questions
What is an A-frame sign?
A free-standing sign made of two panels hinged at the top, so it stands in an A shape and can be read from both sides. It folds flat for carrying and storage, which is why shops, cafés and event teams set one out on the pavement outside the door and bring it in at closing time. It is also called a sidewalk sign or a sandwich board.
What size A-frame sign should I order?
24" x 36" is the size most businesses choose for a sign that has to be read from a few steps away on the pavement; 18" x 24" suits a smaller counter, doorway or event-table sign. Choose Custom if your frame or space needs something else, and tell us the size on the quote request.
Can I change the graphics later?
Yes. The panels are printed inserts that sit in the frame, so a new offer, event or season means printing new panels rather than buying a new sign. Order spare panels with the first set if you rotate messages.
What is the difference between an A-frame sign and a sandwich board?
In everyday use they are the same shape, and people search for both names. In our range, the A-frame sign is the frame with replaceable printed panels, so the message can change. The sandwich board sign has the artwork printed directly onto the boards for a fixed, longer-lasting message. Both are quoted from your artwork and size.
Can an A-frame sign be used outdoors?
Yes, that is what it is made for. Place it where it cannot be knocked into foot traffic, and bring it in during strong wind. Tell us if it will stay out overnight or in a wet climate so the quote can recommend the right frame and panel material.
What artwork file format do you accept?
