A-frames suit kerbside retail, cafés, events, real estate and temporary wayfinding—double-sided, quick to deploy and easy to move.
Portable, double-sided and quick to set up, A-frame sandwich boards excel wherever you need eye-level messages that catch passing foot traffic. They are common on footpaths outside shops and cafés, at event entrances and carparks, and at temporary site access points where a freestanding sign is practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material lasts longest for A-frame faces?
Durability depends on exposure and handling. Aluminium composite panel with either direct UV printing or printed self-adhesive vinyl plus a compatible laminate is a common robust approach. The preferred method should match the substrate, expected life and finishing needs.
How heavy should an A-frame be for windy locations?
Requirements vary by site. Use a stable frame, add discreet ballast where appropriate, or relocate in strong winds rather than relying solely on weight.
Can you match our brand colours accurately?
Supply recognised colour references and, where colour is critical, request a printed sample. Substrate, ink set and lighting affect perceived colour, so proofs help confirm the result.
Do you ship A-frames outside South East Queensland?
Yes. We supply Australia-wide. Packaging is arranged to protect printed faces, corners and edges during freight.
Is anti-graffiti laminate worth it?
Where vandalism is likely, an anti-graffiti laminate can make some paints and markers easier to remove. Performance depends on the laminate, contaminant, cleaning method and exposure, so test cleaners before broad use.
