Sandwich Boards
Eye-catching pavement signs that drive foot traffic and boost visibility for retail, hospitality and service businesses.
When your business needs to capture passing foot traffic, sandwich boards Auckland businesses rely on deliver immediate visibility right at street level. Falcon Signs provides custom sandwich board signs Auckland companies trust for retail frontages, hospitality venues, service businesses, and event promotions.
What are Sandwich Boards?
Sandwich boards are one of the most effective and cost-efficient marketing tools for businesses with pedestrian traffic. Positioned on the pavement outside your premises, they catch the attention of people who might otherwise walk past without noticing your business. A well-designed sandwich board can communicate daily specials, promotions, services offered, or simply announce your presence to potential customers. Unlike permanent signage, sandwich boards can be updated to reflect current offerings, seasonal promotions, or special events.
Our sandwich board service covers:
- Custom design and artwork
- Durable construction
- Weather-resistant materials
- Interchangeable panels
- Chalkboard options
- Double-sided displays
We specialise in creating sandwich boards that match your brand, withstand daily outdoor use, and effectively communicate your message to passing pedestrians.
Auckland businesses from cafes and retail shops to professional services and tradespeople trust Falcon Signs for sandwich boards that drive real foot traffic and increased customer engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sandwich Boards
Sandwich boards are constructed from various materials depending on intended use. Aluminium composite frames offer lightweight durability for daily outdoor use. Steel frames provide maximum stability in exposed locations. Timber frames suit rustic or artisanal brand aesthetics. The display panels can be printed aluminium composite, corflute for economy applications, magnetic surfaces for changeable messaging, or chalkboard surfaces for hand-written updates. We recommend materials based on your specific application and environment.
Standard sandwich board sizes include A1 (594 x 841mm display area), A0 (841 x 1189mm), and custom dimensions for specific requirements. Size selection depends on your location, council regulations, available pavement space, and messaging needs. Larger boards have more visual impact but require more space and can be affected by wind more easily. We help you balance these factors for optimal results.
Yes, our sandwich boards are designed for outdoor use in Auckland conditions. We use UV-resistant inks that resist fading, waterproof materials that don't absorb moisture, and durable frame construction that handles repeated outdoor exposure. For maximum longevity, we recommend bringing boards inside overnight and during severe weather events like heavy storms or strong winds.
Printed panel sandwich boards feature professionally designed graphics that maintain consistent appearance and don't require daily updating - ideal for core brand messaging. Chalkboard sandwich boards allow hand-written messages that can change daily, creating an informal, engaging aesthetic popular with cafes and hospitality businesses. Some businesses use combination boards with permanent branding plus changeable message sections for flexibility.
Regular maintenance extends sandwich board life significantly. Wipe printed surfaces with a damp soft cloth to remove dust and dirt - avoid abrasive cleaners. Check frame hinges and closures periodically and tighten if needed. Store indoors overnight to reduce UV exposure and weather stress. Bring inside during severe weather including high winds which can damage frames or blow boards over. With proper care, quality sandwich boards provide years of reliable service.
Yes, we can produce replacement graphic panels for most standard sandwich board frames. This allows you to refresh your messaging, update branding, or create seasonal variations without replacing the entire unit. We can also produce multiple panel sets for businesses wanting to rotate different messages throughout the week or for promotional periods.
Effective placement involves several factors: viewing distance - ensure text is readable from your typical pedestrian approach distance. Sight lines - position where pedestrians will naturally see it while walking. Pedestrian flow direction - angle the board to face approaching foot traffic. Accessibility - maintain clear paths for wheelchairs and prams as required by regulations. Wind exposure - consider weighted bases for exposed locations. We can advise on placement strategies for your specific location.
