A-frame signs that stop sidewalk traffic
Sidewalk and sandwich-board signs for restaurants, retail, and events: sturdy metal A-frames with changeable coroplast inserts, designed in Buffalo, MN to put your daily message right in the foot traffic.
One frame, endless messages
An A-frame sign is the easiest way to talk to people walking by: daily specials, open hours, a sale, or an event happening right now. We build durable metal A-frames in Buffalo, MN with changeable coroplast inserts that slide in and out, so you keep the same weighted frame and just swap printed panels as your message changes. Double-sided so it reads coming and going, weighted to stay put in the wind, and folded flat to bring inside at the end of the day. Great for restaurants, salons, retail shops, and pop-up events.

The metal frame is weighted so it holds its spot in a breeze, and it folds flat to come inside at close. Inserts slide in and out, so you keep one frame and swap printed panels as the message changes. Already own a frame? Send the opening dimensions and we cut inserts to fit it. On grass or soft ground a staked yard sign is usually the cheaper tool. The A-frame earns its keep on sidewalks and pavement where you cannot stake.
