Sandwich Board Sign
A sandwich board sign is two boards hinged at the top that stand in an A shape on the pavement and fold flat when the shop closes. With ours the artwork is printed directly onto the boards, so the message is fixed and the sign looks like a permanent part of your frontage, not a poster in a holder. Print the same artwork on both faces so it reads from either direction of foot traffic, or a different message on each side. Pick a size for the distance people read it from, send your logo, and the quote comes back with a proof drawn to scale.

Frequently asked questions
What is a sandwich board sign?
A free-standing sign made of two boards hinged at the top, so it stands up in an A shape with a message on each face. It is called a sandwich board because the two boards look like the slices of a sandwich, and a sidewalk sign or A-frame sign because of where it goes and its shape. It folds flat, so it is easy to carry in at night.
Is a sandwich board the same as an A-frame sign?
The shape is the same and customers use both names. We split them by how the graphic is carried: the A-frame sign is a frame with replaceable printed panels, and the sandwich board sign has the artwork printed directly onto the boards, for a fixed message that stays on the sign for a long time.
What can I put on a sandwich board sign?
Anything that prints: a logo, an offer, opening hours, a menu, a directional arrow, an event name. Both faces can carry the same artwork, so it reads from either direction of foot traffic, or a different message on each side.
What size sandwich board should I choose?
Choose the size by where it stands and how far away the reader is. Smaller boards suit a counter, a doorway or an event table, and larger ones suit a pavement where people read from a few steps away. Pick the closest size, or Custom, and the quote comes back with a proof drawn to scale.
Are sandwich boards good for outdoor use?
Yes, they are made for sidewalks and entrances. Set it where it cannot be knocked into foot traffic and bring it in during strong wind. Say on the quote request if it will be left out overnight so the right board material is recommended.
