Definition and Types

Also known as A-frame or sandwich board signs, these products are versatile outdoor advertising tools. They can significantly enhance the visibility of your business including restaurants and even retail stores.

Banners.com offers a few flavors of A-frame  plastic signs:

Whichever holder you choose for your printed sign makes for a vibrant sidewalk advertisement holder. They all come with convenient carrying handles and can be filled with sand or water for added sturdiness.

Each banner stand is made from durable material, virtually maintenance free and stylish. The main difference is that they have varying degrees of aesthetics.

 

Benefits

Double-sided advertising is a key benefit of this product. One of the primary reasons business owners and event planners turn to street signage is foot traffic. Let’s face it, most people move slower than cars. This gives them the ability to observe, smell the roses, and read the signs.

You can fill the sign holders with water or sand, making them pretty darn wind resistant. Your custom Sandwich signs deserve only sturdy materials to feature your designs. You can also easily swap out the coroplast designs for weekly or daily specials and more. 

 

Design Tips

Creating an eye-catching and effective sign is an art form. Learn valuable design tips that will help your sign shine, grab attention, and convey your message effectively to passersby. To do this, use your logo or brand colors, and keep text to a minimum


Optimizing Usage

 

Best Practices for Placement

Strategic placement of A frame signs is crucial for their effectiveness. The best spots to place these signs (check state and local regulations) are:

  • Well, sidewalks. 
  • Place them in front of storefronts and eateries.
  • Set them on your neighborhood street corner and advertise for Grad parties or garage sales.
  • Use them as directional signage on the trade show floor.

 

Customization Options

Tailoring your sign to align with your logos and messaging is key. There are many customization options available like your branding elements, sign holder style choice and you can also choose the size. Don’t forget to order any replacement signs that you may need, too. 

 

Materials and Durability

The materials used in sidewalk signs are essential for longevity and weather resistance. Typically, these signs are made from 4 millimeter corrugated plastic. It’s both water and weather resistant, requiring little to no maintenance. 


Going Beyond the Basics
