A-Frame Signs
Sidewalk A-frames with swappable printed inserts that pull walk-ins off the street.
An A-frame stands in the walking path and works both directions at once, then folds flat and comes inside at close. It's the sidewalk sign for cafes, salons, realtors and anyone with foot traffic.
- Two insert faces, 24×36 standard or 18×24 compact
- Slide-in inserts swap in seconds, print a stack per offer
- Hollow base fills with sand or water so wind won't tip it
- UV-stable molded frame, folds flat for overnight storage
The frame is the one-time buy; printed inserts swap in seconds, so one board runs breakfast, happy hour and Saturday's event.
“Mailers arrived in nine days with the inside print exactly as proofed. Our unboxing videos finally look like the brands we admire.”
“Child-resistant, compliant in two states, and it still looks premium in the case. Their prepress team caught a labeling issue our lawyer missed.”
The sign that works the sidewalk
An A-frame (the sandwich board) is the only sign that stands in the walking path itself. A cafe's daily special, a salon's walk-in offer, an open house arrow: the A-frame catches people mid-stride, then folds flat and comes inside at close. No permit drama of a permanent sign, no landlord approval, and it moves to wherever the foot traffic is that day.
One frame, endless inserts
The molded plastic frame is the one-time buy. It holds a printed insert on each face, 24×36 inches on the standard frame, behind a protective lens or in a slide-in channel. Print a stack of inserts and the same frame sells coffee in the morning, happy hour at five, and a weekend event on Saturday. The hollow base fills with sand or water so a gusty corner doesn't tip it.
FAQ
Will it survive weather?
Yes. The frame is UV-stable plastic, the inserts print on rigid stock or get a laminate, and the ballast base keeps it planted. Bring the inserts in overnight and they last seasons.
What sizes do inserts come in?
24×36 is standard, 18×24 on the smaller frame. Size logic is the same as posters, covered in our poster size guide. For lawns instead of sidewalks, see yard signs. Get a quote.
