A-Frame & Sidewalk Signs templates

How this file has to be built

Bleed 0.125" · safety 0.125"

Backgrounds run 0.125" past the cut line so trimming never opens a white sliver; anything that must survive stays 0.125" inside it. The studio canvas is the cut line itself — magenta edge — and the dashed guide inside it is the safety margin.

150 DPI at final size

Large format is read from a distance, so 150 DPI in size is the honest number — more is wasted file, not sharper print. One side or both, your choice at checkout.

White underbase layer

These ride as separate masks, not as part of the artwork: 100% black where the layer lands, white where it does not. Design the ink in the studio and send the mask alongside it.

Keep 1" clear of the edge

Grommets, pole pockets, hems and frame lips all eat the border. Type that close is hidden by the hardware, not by the press.

• · The frame lip covers about 1 in of every edge — keep artwork inside that.
• · Panels print direct to coroplast, PVC or aluminium composite with a White underbase.
• · Outdoor pavement signs face sun and rain: order a laminate if the sign lives outside all day.
