What is the A-Frame Sign?
The A-Frame Sign is a single-panel folding sign that stands on the sidewalk outside a shop, café or restaurant. It's made from powder-coated aluminum, measuring 24″ (61 cm) x 29.1″ (74 cm), and weighs 8.8 lbs (4 kg). It's sold as a blank in two colors.
Is the faceplate magnetic?
The faceplate supplied with the A-Frame Sign is not magnetic. A magnetic faceplate is sold separately here.
Does the A-Frame Sign fold up for easy storage?
Yes. The A-Frame Sign folds flat to 24″ (61 cm) x 29.1″ (74 cm), so it's easy to carry inside and pack away at the end of the day
Does every sign come with brass straps?
Yes. Every A-Frame Sign includes two sets of straps: one brass set, and one set colour-matched to the sign you've chosen.
Does the A-frame sign arrive branded?
No, the A-Frame Sign is sold as a blank, with no logo or artwork applied. If you'd like advice on getting yours branded, please see our blog post here for more information.
Can you write on the A-Frame Sign with a pen or marker?
We don't recommend using any kind of pen or marker on the A-Frame Sign — the powder-coated finish isn't designed to be written on and wiped clean. To add lettering or a decal, contact a local signwriter, who can apply vinyl directly to the faceplate.
Is the A-Frame Sign suitable for high-wind areas?
The A-Frame Sign is suitable for low to moderate wind. At 8.8lbs, it will stay put in most street conditions, but in exposed or coastal locations we recommend adding sandbags, available here. Our guide to choosing a sign for windy locations covers this in more detail.
What else is the A-Frame Sign called?
The A-Frame Sign is also known as a sandwich board, an A-board, or a sidewalk sign. In the US and Canada it's usually called a sidewalk sign or sandwich board; in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand it's more often a pavement sign or A-board. All of these describe the same two-panel folding sign that stands on the pavement outside a business.
What other sandwich board options does George & Willy sell?
Alongside the A-Frame Sign, our sandwich boards range includes the Large Sidewalk Sign, the Large Letter Sidewalk Sign, and the Swing Sign. For something a little different, the lollipop-style Standing Sign is a great option. Sign yourself up to our mailer to keep in the loop with any new releases at the bottom of this page.
