Signs
What we make
Metal frames with printed panels
A metal frame that holds two printed panels. Slide in new panels when the sale or the season changes.
Plastic sidewalk signs
Molded plastic frames, light enough to carry out every morning. Some take water or sand in the base for windy days.
Chalkboard A-frames
Your logo printed across the top and a chalkboard below for specials that change every day.
Real estate A-frames
Open house and for sale signs that stand on a sidewalk or driveway where a stake won't go in.
New panels for your frame
Already own a frame? Send me the panel size and I'll print new panels to fit it.
Event and wayfinding signs
Check-in, parking and this-way signs for weddings, church events, festivals and 5Ks.
Start small
Your first order can be a small one.
Everything here is custom, so try a short run first. See how it looks on the product, the truck or the wall. When it works, reorder bigger and the price per piece drops.
Why a sidewalk sign still pulls people in
People walking past your door decide in a few steps whether to stop. A sign at their feet, set out where they're already looking, gives them a reason. Today's special, a sale or just "we're open."
It works best where people walk: High Street, German Village, downtown Worthington, a strip center with a sidewalk out front. Put it out when you open and bring it in when you close.
Check with your city before you put one on a public sidewalk. Some cities and districts want a permit or set rules on where it can stand.
Metal, plastic or chalkboard: picking a frame
A metal frame with printed panels looks the sharpest and lasts the longest. When the message changes, you print new panels and keep the frame.
Plastic frames are lighter and cheaper. They're easy to carry out every morning, and some fill with water or sand so they don't tip over in the wind.
Chalkboard A-frames suit cafes, bars and salons with specials that change daily. Your logo stays printed at the top, and you write the rest by hand. Tell me how often your message changes and I'll suggest one.
What to print on an A-frame
Treat it like a yard sign for people on foot. A few big words, your logo and an arrow if the door is hard to find. Skip the long list of services.
Use both sides. Each side can say something different, like the special on one side and "open" with an arrow on the other.
Send me your logo and what you want it to say. I'll lay out the panels, and you approve the proof before anything prints.

Questions
A-frame sidewalk signs: common questions
How much does an A-frame sign cost?
It depends on the frame and the panels. Metal frames cost more than plastic, and you can reuse them. Tell me which style you want and I'll quote it within 24 hours.
Can each side say something different?
Yes. The two panels are printed separately, so each side can carry its own message.
Will an A-frame blow over?
A heavy frame or a plastic one with a weighted base holds up best. On a windy corner, bring it in when the weather turns.
Can you print panels for a frame I already own?
Yes. Measure the panel area and send me the size. I'll print panels to fit.
Do I need a permit for a sidewalk sign?
Some cities and business districts require one for a sign on a public sidewalk. Check with your city before you set it out.
Do I see the design before it prints?
Yes. You get a proof to approve first. Nothing prints until you say it's right.
