When your business needs versatile portable signage that captures passing pedestrians and directs customers to your door, A-frame signs Auckland businesses depend on deliver reliable visibility in any location. Falcon Signs creates custom A-frame signage Auckland retailers, hospitality venues, and service providers trust for street-level marketing that gets results.
What are A-Frame Signs?
A-frame signs (also called A-boards or sidewalk signs) represent one of the most effective forms of portable business advertising. Their distinctive triangular profile provides stability in outdoor conditions while offering double-sided display that captures attention from both directions of foot traffic. Whether positioned on a footpath, in a shopping precinct, at an event venue, or inside your premises, A-frame signs communicate your message at exactly the point where customers make decisions about where to go next.
Our A-frame sign service includes custom graphic design, professional printing, durable frame construction, interchangeable panel options, chalkboard inserts, and weather-resistant finishes. We create A-frames for permanent branded displays, changeable promotional messaging, directional wayfinding, menu boards, event signage, and real estate applications. Our team ensures your A-frame signs match your brand while withstanding daily outdoor use.
Auckland businesses from West Auckland retail strips to Henderson Mall and Westgate shopping precincts trust Falcon Signs for A-frame signage that drives foot traffic and increases customer engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions - A-Frame Signs
Standard A-frame sizes work well for most footpath applications, though the right size depends on your specific location and council requirements. Larger A-frames have greater visual impact but require more pavement space. We assess your intended placement and recommend sizes that balance visibility with practical considerations including pedestrian clearance requirements.
The triangular A-frame profile provides inherent stability that outperforms flat signs in wind. However, Auckland can experience strong gusts, so we recommend weighted bases for exposed locations or bringing signs inside during severe weather. Our A-frames use quality hinges and construction that maintain stability through normal outdoor conditions.
Yes, we offer several changeable graphic options. Snap frames allow quick poster changes using printed inserts. Magnetic panels attach and remove easily for seasonal updates. Chalkboard inserts enable daily hand-written messages. Slide-in channels accommodate interchangeable printed panels. We recommend the best option based on how frequently you want to change your messaging.
Outdoor A-frame panels typically use corflute (corrugated plastic), ACM (aluminium composite), or PVC substrates, all with UV-resistant printed graphics. Material selection depends on expected lifespan, budget, and visual requirements. We recommend appropriate materials based on your specific usage pattern and environment.
The terms overlap considerably in common usage. Technically, A-frame describes the triangular hinged structure, while sandwich board traditionally referred to signs worn by a person or hung over a frame. In practice, both terms describe portable pavement signs. We offer both A-frame style (rigid triangular) and swing-panel style (hanging panel) options.
Absolutely. We work from your brand guidelines, existing signage, or logo files to ensure your A-frame maintains visual consistency with your overall brand presence. Colour matching, typography, and design style are all coordinated to reinforce your brand identity.
Store A-frames in a dry location out of direct sunlight when not in use. Wipe panels clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent - avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch printed surfaces. Check hinges periodically and tighten any loose fasteners. Bring A-frames inside during severe weather to extend their lifespan and prevent damage.
