Attract Attention at Street Level

A-frame sidewalk signs, also called sandwich board signs, position your message where passing customers can see it. They are ideal for promoting daily specials, grand openings, sales, appointments, open houses, entrances, pickup areas, and event directions.

Customize your sign with a company logo, promotional offer, menu, QR code, contact information, operating hours, directional arrow, or property details. The portable freestanding format makes it convenient to reposition the display as your promotional needs change.

Design Tips for Maximum Visibility

A sidewalk sign is often viewed quickly and from a distance. Keep the design clear and focused for better readability.

• Use a short, direct headline.

• Choose large, bold, easy-to-read fonts.

• Maintain strong contrast between the text and background.

• Focus the layout on one primary message.

• Make prices, phone numbers, URLs, and QR codes prominent.

• Use clear arrows for directional signage.

• Avoid overcrowding the design with unnecessary details.

• Keep essential elements inside the designated safe area.

• Test QR codes at the intended printed size before submitting the artwork.

Outdoor Placement and Care

Place the A-frame sign on a flat, stable surface. Although the frame has substantial weight, outdoor conditions can vary. Bring the sign indoors during strong winds, severe weather, or other unsafe conditions.

Before placing your sign:

• Review local sidewalk and signage regulations.

• Obtain permission before using public or shared property.

• Keep walkways, ramps, entrances, and emergency exits clear.

• Do not obstruct motorists’ or pedestrians’ visibility.

• Clean the frame and graphics with a soft, damp cloth.

• Avoid abrasive materials and harsh cleaning chemicals.

• Finished graphic size: 24" × 36"
