Sidewalk Signs
Sidewalk display options include A-Frame Sidewalk Sign, Aluminum Sidewalk Sign and Restaurant Sidewalk Signs. The folding plastic A-frame uses two 1/8-inch white PVC graphics and is available as a complete set or replacement graphics. The black aluminum frames pair with PVC, Dibond or coroplast panels depending on the product. On the A-frame and aluminum models, the two faces can repeat one design or carry two different messages.

Questions about Sidewalk Signs
Can I order graphics without a new sidewalk stand?
A-Frame Sidewalk Sign offers replacement graphics with two printed panels and no stand. Before ordering, measure the insert opening of the frame you have, since fit with other frames is not confirmed.
Which panel materials appear in this group?
A-Frame Sidewalk Sign uses 1/8-inch white PVC. Aluminum Sidewalk Sign lists 1/8-inch aluminum Dibond, white PVC or coroplast, while Restaurant Sidewalk Signs lists white PVC or aluminum Dibond.
Can the two faces show different artwork?
Yes, on A-Frame Sidewalk Sign and Aluminum Sidewalk Sign, which list the same artwork on both sides or a different message for each side. Restaurant Sidewalk Signs prints full color on both faces.
