Do You Make All Your Signs In-House?

Yes, not only do we design your signs, but we also produce your signs on site. Our team includes designers, fabricators, printers and installers who have all received specific training.

Are Sidewalk Signs Water or Weatherproof?

Both metal and plastic a-frame signs are weatherproof. Styrene signs can resist some water but you will want to bring the signs inside if it starts raining or snowing.

How Do We Get New Sign Inserts?

If you'd like new sign inserts designed, all you need to do is give us a call again and we will get a new design process started. We can work through the same design and printing process that we did with your initial order, or try something new.

Are A-Frame Signs Suitable For Indoor Use?

Certainly. We have customers who have purchased sidewalk signs to provide direction for foot traffic indoors. Other customers have ordered them to market their restaurants or stores located in an indoor mall.

Are There Regulations Regarding The Placement Of Sidewalk Signs Outside?

We stay up to date on city code so that we can guide our customers on the best placement of their signs. Sidewalk signs are legal as long as they allow pedestrians to walk past. Typically, they are placed directly in front of the business or along the curb.

Types of Sidewalk Signs

Customizable Options for Folding A-Frame Signs

We can create any type of sidewalk sign, including permanent displays, banner stands, and many others. But when most people think about sidewalk signs, they're referring to portable A-Frame signs.

Folding sidewalk signs typically come with either a metal or plastic frame, although wood is also an option. Plastic sidewalk signs are lightweight and often more cost-effective. However, metal sidewalk frames are more durable and wind-resistant. Both are weatherproof and provide a professional way to grab attention. Both also allow the option for sign inserts that can be removed or replaced.

Graphics can be printed for either a metal sidewalk sign or a plastic A-frame sign. Your message or logo can be printed on styrene, coroplast or metal and stuck directly onto the frame. The material used depends on the look that you want to create:

Styrene – is an organic compound that is used to manufacture plastics. Styrene is both inexpensive, water resistant, and long lasting.

Coroplast – is the patented name for corrugated plastic. The thin sheets of plastic are lightweight and are also cost effective and durable. Think yard signs – the material allows for crisp, colorful designs and lettering.

Metal – is most commonly used for traffic signs and other signs that will receive a lot of wear and tear. Depending on the print, they can also provide a nice sheen for custom printed signs.

Another option for your sidewalk sign is either a chalkboard or dry erase surface. These allow you to change the message daily or as often as needed. This option is great for the outdoor cafe sign that changes as often as the menu, or for the retail store with special sales that change frequently. The only part of these signs that is not waterproof is the chalk or marker writing.
Many a-frame signs that use chalk are designed by the sign owner, but we do offer hand drawn and hand painted signs if you would like us to create the first design.

Benefits of Sidewalk Signs

A-Frame Signs are a cost efficient, effective way to attract attention to your store from anyone walking by. This is useful in any city, but in places like New York City, Jersey City, and other pedestrian rich areas, they become especially valuable as they attract the eye from those passing by.
In addition, these specific signs have several benefits that make them a great choice for businesses that extend beyond the cost and placement. These include:

Portable

A-Frame signs are easy to fold up, store, and move. You can pace the sign in the sidewalk every day and take it away at night without much difficulty.

Versatile

Changing your sign, or changing your message (for chalk signs) takes only a few moments. Signs can be long lasting, used for years at a time, or temporary, changed daily or every few days.

Two-Sided

A-frame signs are visible from both directions, which means more opportunities to capture attention in a visible, professional way.

On top of all these benefits, folding A-frame signs are classy and popular among many business owners, from restaurants and cafes to retail and clothing stores to realtors.
