An A-frame, a sandwich board or sidewalk sign, is a portable and freestanding signage structure with two connected panels that resemble the shape of the letter "A." It is commonly used for outdoor advertising, directing foot traffic, or displaying promotional messages in high-visibility areas.

A-frames provide a simple yet effective way to capture attention, direct foot traffic, and communicate messages to a broad audience. Their portability, double-sided display, and versatility make them popular for businesses, retailers, restaurants, and event organisers seeking to promote their offerings or attract attention in high-traffic areas.
 

Here are some key features and characteristics of an A-frame:

• Structure: An A-frame consists of two panels connected at the top by a hinge, allowing them to be folded together for easy transportation and storage. When opened, the panels form an inverted "V" shape, providing stability and a self-supporting structure.
• Material: A-frames are typically made of durable materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or a combination. The choice of material depends on factors such as the desired durability, weight, and aesthetic appeal.
• Double-sided Display: A-frames offer double-sided display capabilities, with each panel serving as a display surface. This allows maximum visibility from both directions, making it practical for attracting attention from pedestrians from either side.
• Graphic Inserts: The panels of an A-frame can accommodate graphic inserts, such as posters, chalkboards, whiteboards, or custom-printed panels. These inserts can be easily changed or replaced, providing flexibility for messages or promotions.
• Portability: A-frames are designed for easy transportation and portability. The foldable design allows them to be quickly folded flat, making them lightweight and convenient to carry or transport to different locations.
• Stability: A-frames are designed to be stable and resistant to tipping over. Some A-frames feature added weight or support features, such as sandbags or water-filled bases, to enhance stability in windy or high-traffic areas.
• Versatility: A-frames are versatile signage solutions suitable for various applications. They can be used in front of businesses, on sidewalks, at events, in parking lots, or at trade shows to effectively convey messages, display menus, advertise specials, or provide directional information.
• Customisation: A-frames offer opportunities for customisation to align with branding and promotional goals. Graphic inserts can be tailored to reflect brand colours, logos, and specific messaging, creating a cohesive and impactful visual presentation.
