A-Frame Stands
The frame you buy once. Folds flat, stands anywhere, takes a new insert every season.
A-Frame Stands
This is the unglamorous half of the sidewalk sign, and the half that lasts a decade. A folding black powder-coated steel tube A-frame that holds standard 18×24 or 36×24 coroplast panels, opens in one motion, stands square on uneven pavement, and folds flat behind a door when you close. There is not much to it, which is exactly why it does not break.
The economics are the reason to think of the frame and the panels as separate purchases. Buy the stand once; after that, changing what your sidewalk says costs the price of a printed insert rather than a whole new sign. Businesses that treat it this way end up with a small library of panels — everyday, weekend, sale, event — and swap them in seconds.
The weight is deliberate: heavy enough not to walk away in a gust or a passing van’s draught, light enough for one person to carry out at opening and in at close without it becoming the worst part of the day. Both sizes take a panel each side, so you can face two directions at once.
Sold on its own here. Pair it with printed coroplast inserts, which are produced next business day — order the stand and your first pair of panels together and the whole thing lands ready to put out.
What people actually print these for
Buy the frame once
The frame outlives the messaging by years. Treat panels as consumables and your sidewalk stays current for the price of a print.
Two frames, one message
A second stand at the end of the street or the other entrance costs far less than doubling your ad spend to reach the same passers-by.
Seasonal panel library
Build up a set of panels over a year — summer hours, holiday opening, sale weeks — and rotate. Storage is a flat stack in a cupboard.
Events and off-site pitches
Folds into a car boot with the panels, so the same frame works at the shop on weekdays and the market on Saturday.
Loaner frames for stockists
Give a frame to shops that carry your product and send them a printed panel each season. Their pavement becomes your advertising.
Indoor lobbies and corridors
Not every A-frame lives outside. In a building lobby or a hall entrance it directs people without needing a wall or a fixing.
