A board types

Choose your A-board or sandwich board sign

Each freestanding sign here is printed in full colour with your artwork and made to stand outside your premises. The frame decides how you change the message, how it copes with wind and how easily it comes back inside at closing time.

Rhino A board

The classic folding A-frame. A 32mm aluminium snap frame opens so posters are easy to change, with anti-glare covers, rounded corners and hinged locking arms.

  • Two poster sizes, both faces printed
  • Lightweight, folds flat to store
From £171.95 ex VATView product

Site Master A-frame

A heavy duty forecourt sign. The poster frame sits on springs above a water-fillable base with wheels, so it flexes in a gust and rolls inside at night.

  • Three poster sizes up to A0
  • Wind rated up to 18mph
From £194.95 ex VATView product

Swing signs

A printed metal panel held in a steel tube frame on a heavy base. Tool free, printed on both faces and available with a black or white frame.

A low, wide A-frame sign that holds a UV printed PVC banner with bungee cords. Change the banner for each promotion and keep the frame.

  • 1.5m, 2.5m or 3m wide
  • Single or double sided, carry bag
From £168.95 ex VATView banner frame

WaveLine double stand

A curved, lightweight frame with two fabric prints, one on each face. Use it as a low branded barrier or a two way sign at events.

Board signs

Printed fluted board A-boards in multipacks

Light folding A-boards printed straight onto 4mm fluted board, for pointing the way at events, car parks, open days and shopfronts. Each board in a pack can carry a different design at the same price. Outdoors, weigh down the base or peg it into the ground.

Fluted board A-boards, 1m tall

Taller double-sided boards for directions at events, car parks and site entrances, in packs of two, three or four.

  • 290mm to 590mm wide
  • Packs of 2, 3 or 4

Which A board pavement sign suits you

All three are double sided advertising boards, so people approaching from both directions see your message. The difference is whether you change a poster or a printed panel, and how much weight holds the sign in place.

Sizing

Snap frame A1 and A2 poster sizes

Our A-boards are poster holders for standard sizes, so the size you choose sets how far away people can read your message. Go bigger for busy roads and forecourts, smaller for a narrow footway.

Swing signs use a fixed printed panel, from 430 x 625mm on the Swinger to 588 x 917mm on the Swinger 3000, or an A1 or A0 poster on the Whirlwind.

A2

594 x 420mm poster

The compact choice for a narrow shop front. The Rhino in this size weighs just 7kg.

A1

841 x 594mm poster

The most popular size, offered on both the Rhino and the Site Master, 1120mm tall.

A0

1189 x 841mm poster

Site Master only, for roadsides. 21kg empty and 83kg once the base is filled with water.

Changing your message

Poster frame or printed board sign

A snap frame board suits a business whose message changes, such as a café menu, special offers or an estate agent board. Order new printed posters and swap them in, so the board is easy to change week to week.

A swing sign carries a printed panel, the better choice for a permanent shop sign that builds your brand identity. Unlike a wooden chalkboard, nothing needs rewriting by hand and the print stays eye-catching.

  • Anti-glare covers on both A-boards, and the Site Master covers also guard against UV fading
  • Tool free assembly across the range
  • Recycled PVC bases on the Swinger and Swinger 2
  • Bespoke print on every board with your logo, offers or directions

FREE artwork design or proofing on every order. Printed and dispatched within 5 days with express options available. FREE UK delivery on orders of £200 or more.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an A board and a sandwich board?
Nothing. Both names, and A-frame sign, describe a two sided sign that stands in an A shape. Our Rhino is the classic folding version and suits high foot traffic streets.
Which A board is best for a windy forecourt?
The Site Master A-board. Its frame sits on heavy duty springs over a water-fillable wheeled base and is rated for wind up to 18mph. For gusts up to 63mph, look at the spring mounted Ecoflex pavement signs.
How do I change the poster?
On the Rhino and Site Master boards the snap frame opens to take a new poster, then clicks shut. No tools are needed.
Are your A-boards double sided?
Yes. Every board and swing sign in this range is printed on both sides in full colour, so your message reads from either direction.
What sizes are available?
Rhino A-boards take the two most popular poster sizes, the Site Master adds A0 for roadsides, and swing signs run from a 430 x 625mm panel to an A0 poster on the Whirlwind.
Do you sell chalkboard or wooden A boards?
No. Our A boards use metal snap frames or printed panels in full colour with your artwork, so the sign stays sharp and needs no chalk.
Do I need permission to put a pavement sign outside my shop?
Rules vary by council. Some ask for a pavement licence before placing an A-board on a public pavement, so check with your local council first.
How quickly will my A board arrive?
Printed and dispatched within 5 days with express options available. FREE UK delivery on orders of £200 or more.
