The story Direct happy crowds to your happy hour Berkeley, CA —

Made from rugged PVC plastic and printed with advanced digital methods, our A-frames shrug off harsh weather and UV exposure—ideal for busy sidewalks, trade-show aisles, or indoor lobbies.

Also known as sidewalk or sandwich board signs, each unit unfolds in seconds and features an internal water-ballast cavity for extra stability. High-resolution printing makes every color pop so your message gets noticed.

Restaurants, cafés, retail shops, parking garages, schools, malls—our lightweight yet rugged boards work anywhere you need foot traffic. Fold-flat design means easy setup and takedown daily.

A-frames place your promotion at eye level for pedestrians—ideal for menu specials, open-house directions, or way-finding in busy districts. All production is proudly done in California for fast turnaround.

Quick answer

Direct answer: A-frame signs (also called sidewalk or sandwich board signs) are portable, double-sided displays with removable PVC inserts. They unfold in seconds, stand up to weather and UV exposure, and feature built-in ballast cavities for wind stability.

Key takeaways

  • Our A-frames use 3 mm PVC inserts that pop in and out—order extras to rotate promotions without buying a new frame.
  • Fill the internal water or sand cavities when placing outdoors; the 20-lb base keeps your message upright in moderate wind.
  • Standard size is 27″ × 46.125″ (frame) with 24″ × 36″ insert area—no custom sizes at this time.
