A sandwich board sign is a portable advertising display consisting of two boards connected at the top.

A-frame signs are portable and easy to set up or store, cost-effective compared to permanent signage, visible to pedestrians, and easily customizable with changeable messages.

Sandwich Sign Face Types
Your sidewalk sign's face is where the magic happens. We offer two distinct materials to showcase your message. The right combination ensures your sidewalk advertising looks professional while standing up to whatever weather comes its way. Let's explore your options:
Opaque Decals
Perfect for standard sandwich boards, these vinyl champions deliver impressive results for your sidewalk advertising. Opaque vinyl highlights bold colors that contrast beautifully with black or white frames. These decals feature a special adhesive backing that sticks firmly to your standard frame without bubbling or peeling in typical weather conditions.
Your message stays crisp thanks to UV-protected inks that resist fading for years, even in direct sunlight. When you're ready for a fresh look, simply peel off the current design and apply a new one! This makes opaque decals the ideal choice for longer-term messaging on standard A-frames where quality and durability matter most.

Coroplast
The ideal partner for quick-change frames, coroplast inserts offer flexibility without sacrificing quality. This sturdy corrugated plastic material slides easily into the special channels of quick-change frames, where clever "stay tabs" hold everything securely in place. No adhesive needed!
We print directly onto the coroplast surface, creating sharp, detailed images that won't bend or warp in outdoor conditions. Switch your message in mere seconds by sliding out the current insert and popping in a new one. This makes coroplast perfect for businesses that update their promotions frequently or want to rotate between different messages throughout the week.

A-Frame Sign Stands Lamination Options
Want to make your A-frame sign last longer or give it a specific look? Lamination is the way to go! It adds an extra layer of protection and even gives your sandwich board sign some handy features or a new finish. Here are the three popular options you can choose from:
Dry Erase Lamination
This one turns your A-frame sign into a writable surface! Just grab a dry-erase marker, jot down your message, and wipe it off when you're ready to update it. Great for menus, schedules, or daily specials.
Glossy Lamination
Looking to make your sidewalk sign pop? Glossy lamination adds a shiny finish that makes colors look extra bold and vibrant, perfect for catching attention.
Matte Lamination
Prefer something subtle? Matte lamination gives your sandwich board sign a smooth look without any glare. It’s easy on the eyes and still keeps your custom A-frame sign protected.
