What is the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign?
The Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign is a freestanding double-sided sign that holds a printed A1 poster behind clear acrylic panels. It stands 63″ × 24.6″ (160 × 62.5 cm) with a 25.6″ (65 cm) foot, is made from aluminum and acrylic, and includes a sandbag. The feet remove with the included Allen key for transport.
What else is it called?
A poster A-frame, sandwich board, pavement sign, or A-board. In the US and Canada it's usually a sidewalk sign; in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, a pavement sign. Because it takes a printed insert rather than a painted panel, it's also called an interchangeable or poster-insert sign.
Is the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign double-sided?
Yes. Two clear acrylic panels hold your poster so it reads from both directions. Print one double-sided A1 sheet, or two single-sided sheets back to back.
What size poster does the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign take?
A1 — 23.4″ × 33.1″ (59.4 × 84.1 cm) with the acrylic pocket. The visible area is 22.2″ × 32″ (56.5 × 81.5 cm), so keep important content inside that margin.
Can I use rigid board instead of paper?
Yes. Remove the acrylic pocket and the frame takes corflute or foam board at 23.6″ × 33.97″ (60 × 86.3 cm). Maximum thickness is two boards of 0.1″ (3 mm) back to back, or one board up to 0.2″ (5 mm). For a longer-term display, a 5 mm ACM or coreflute board is the more durable option.
Can the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign be used outdoors?
Yes. The acrylic pocket is water-resistant and keeps a paper poster dry in normal wet weather. In heavy rain, we'd recommend bringing the sign inside.
For a display that stays out permanently, remove the acrylic panels and use a 5 mm ACM or coreflute board instead. Printed on plastic rather than paper, it handles the weather without needing the pocket.
Is the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign stable in windy conditions?
Of all our sidewalk signs, the poster frames tested among the most stable in wind, and a sandbag is included for extra stability. In very exposed locations we'd still recommend bringing it in overnight.
Can the feet be removed for transport?
Yes. The legs remove and refit with the included Allen key, so the sign packs down for events, markets and pop-ups.
Does poster printing come with the Tall Poster Sidewalk Sign?
No — the sign is supplied without a poster. A1 posters can be printed at any local print shop, so you can change your message as often as you like.
Is there a matching sign for inside?
Yes. The Poster Hanging Menu Board takes the same A1 inserts, so you can print two of the same design and run matching signage indoors and out.
