WHY IT MATTERS

Stop people right at your door.

A-frame signs sit right on the sidewalk, at eye level, where people walk past. They’re perfect for daily specials, directions, and reminding people you’re open.

They fold flat for easy storage, and with changeable inserts you can update your message anytime.

THE BASICS

What is an A-frame sign?

An A-frame, also called a sandwich board or sidewalk sign, is a two-sided freestanding sign shaped like the letter A. It can have permanent graphics, changeable inserts, or a chalkboard or dry-erase surface.

What makes a great A-frame

01

Frame

Sturdy plastic, metal, or wood that stands up to wind.

02

Panels

Printed graphics, inserts, or writable surfaces.

03

Two Sides

Messages for people coming from both directions.

04

Portability

Folds flat and carries easily.

OPTIONS

Use your A-frame for one clear message at a time, like today’s special or an arrow to your entrance. Too much text gets ignored.
