Frequently Asked Questions
Are A-frame signs double-sided?

The panels are weather-resistant. The metal frame is powder-coated for rust resistance.
About the a-frame sign designer
A-frame sidewalk signs are the highest-traffic square foot of advertising most storefronts own. The designer lays out both panels of the frame at once so the street-facing and shop-facing sides stay visually consistent.
Panels print on rigid substrate sized to standard A-frame hardware, so an insert designed here drops straight into a frame you already own.
How the designer works, step by step
- Pick your size — Start from a standard preset or type an exact width and height. The designer redraws to scale instantly so what you see on screen matches the finished print.
- Add your artwork — Upload a PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF or AI file, or start from a blank canvas. Uploaded files are scaled proportionally and can be nudged with arrow keys for precise placement.
- Add and align text — Type headlines and body copy, choose a font, colour and size, then use the horizontal, vertical and centre alignment controls to lock everything to the layout grid.
- Check the safe area — The live guides mark bleed, trim and safe zones. Anything inside the safe area is guaranteed to survive cutting and finishing.
- Review and order — Live pricing updates as you change size and quantity. Add to cart and our prepress team reviews every file before it goes on press.

More questions about this tool
Can I change the message weekly?
Yes. Many customers order a set of interchangeable panels for recurring promotions, then swap them in the same frame. Saved designs make reprinting a variant a two-minute job.
Do you supply the frame?
Panels are designed to fit standard A-frame hardware. Contact us if you need frames supplied alongside the inserts.
How much text should a sidewalk sign carry?
One headline, one supporting line and a call to action. Pedestrians read a sidewalk sign in under three seconds at walking pace.
Is it safe outdoors overnight?
The print is weatherproof, but bring the frame in during storms — the frame, not the panel, is what wind takes down.
