What Are Sandwich Board Signs?
Custom sandwich board signs are ideal for local businesses as an affordable way to capture passersby’s attention without a permanent installation. They let you swap messaging as often as your promotions change.
Retailers utilize custom A-framed signs to promote sales, new arrivals, or store hours. Restaurants post daily specials or menu changes. Event planners direct guests to entrances, parking, or registration. Construction crews mark active work zones for drivers and pedestrians.
Sandwich board signs work for both indoor and outdoor use. The frame and graphics are weather-resistant, so the sign holds up on sidewalks and parking lots. Retailers also use the same sign indoors, in aisles, lobbies, or trade show floors.
Custom A-frame signs are best for short-term to mid-term use. They’re built for daily deployment. You can set them up when you’re open and bring them in when you close up for the day.
Every sandwich board sign includes double-sided printing with the same or different graphics. Choose the reflective print option to keep your sign visible after dark. The reflective surface catches headlights and streetlights, so the sign reads clearly at night.
Design and print A-frame signs with our sign design platform. We ship our products across the US and Canada.
Printing Technology and Materials of a Sandwich Board
Our sandwich boards come with standard and quick-change frames, both available in white and black. The graphic sheet on the standard sandwich board A-frame sign features an opaque adhesive vinyl or a reflective adhesive vinyl on both sides. You can peel either type off and replace it when you want to update your design.
The inserts for the changeable A-frame signage use standard corrugated plastic or coroplast with a reflective surface. Both faces are available in a 24" x 36" size to guarantee a proper fit. You can order the faces separately if you already have the frame and want to change its graphics.
Choose our reflective option to provide visibility to your signs at night. Our engineer-grade reflective vinyl contains a layer of microscopic glass beads under a resin layer. They catch light and redirect it back toward the eyes rather than letting it scatter.
This works especially well for safety signs, warning displays, construction zones, parking lots, or evening events.

Types of A-Frame Signage
-
Standard Sandwich Boards: Our regular sandwich sign options are made of white or black plastic. The image prints on opaque or reflective adhesive vinyl and sticks to the frame after printing. You’re free to switch designs whenever you desire. Peel the vinyl face and replace it with a new one.
The black or white sandwich board frame measures 26" x 46". The graphics on it are 24" x 36" in size. This product weighs 18.5 lbs, and the frames have empty columns, which you can fill with sand to make them more stable. This will add around 10 lbs to its overall weight. The frame has locking hinges to prevent the product from opening wider than intended.
-
Quick-Change Boards: We have quick-change sandwich sign stands in two colors: white and black. We print the designs on standard or reflective corrugated plastic sheets and insert them into the frame. It has “stay tabs” that protect rigid material from falling off. The option lets you change displays by pulling out the old ones and sliding in new graphics.
Quick-change sandwich board signage measures 27" x 47". The size of the printed surfaces is 24" x 36". These products weigh 20 lbs and have ballasting columns that hold about 10 lbs of sand. The locked hinges prevent the frame from hyperextending.

Lamination Options for A-Frame Advertising Signs
- Glossy Lamination: It enhances your display’s shine and shields it from wear. The surface is glossy but not rewritable with glossy lamination.
- Matte Lamination: This option creates a glare-free finish and protects your board from scratches and fading. Use it if you want the unprinted areas to match the matte look of the printed sections.
- Anti-Graffiti Lamination: It provides a glossy finish, extra protection, and a rewritable surface. Write with a temporary marker on the board and erase it with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Installation
Weatherproof A-frame signs come either with vinyl or corrugated plastic faces. You can change them by replacing them with new graphics.
How to Change Vinyl Faces: Peel off the old vinyl and clean the application area with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Stick the new vinyl to the panel and smooth it out with a squeegee or a plastic card.
How to Change Corrugated Plastic Inserts: Pull out the old corrugated plastic panel and slide in the new one. Make sure you don’t fold or damage it during the installation.
* We provide faces for A-frame signs only in a 24” x 36” size. Please note this before ordering new graphics for your frame.
Care and Storage of Custom A-frame Sidewalk Signs
Reflective inserts also need the same gentle care, plus one extra step. Dry them fully before folding your sign closed. Trapped moisture can dull the reflective coating over time.
Store your product upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. You can also snap the frame closed and store it flat. Don’t place other items atop it to protect it from damage.
