Put Your Message on the Sidewalk, Both Directions at Once
A-frame plastic signs are the printed boards an A-frame carries, and this unit comes with two of them, one for each face. Set it on the pavement and it catches foot traffic coming and going before anyone reaches your door. It is the fixture you already know from outside cafes, shops, open houses and events.
If aluminum is more frame than you need, the A-frame signs printing range covers the plastic and metal-rod versions.
What Is an Aluminum A-Frame
An aluminum A-frame is a sidewalk sign in two parts: the metal frame and two printed corrugated-plastic signs that you fasten to its faces with screws, tape, glue or velcro. The frame and the signs ship separately. For signs that swap in and out without fasteners, the Signicade Deluxe A-Frames are the quick-change model.
An aluminum frame suits a sign that goes out every day: a cafe's daily specials board, a shop's sale sign, an agent's open house marker, an event's entrance arrow. If you are weighing a plastic frame, the white Signicade A-Frames start at $182.32 with two 24" x 36" signs.
What Sizes Are the Signs and the Frame
Pick the sign size by how far away your readers stand. The 22" x 28" reads clearly from across a sidewalk and fits tight storefronts and doorways. The 24" x 36" gives your message more room and more reach when foot or road traffic sits farther back. Both mount on the same frame, so check its footprint against the pavement or entryway before you pick the larger sign.
A-frame inserts and replacement graphics
The printed signs are the part that dates, not the frame. When the season, the price or the promotion changes, reorder the signs on their own and fasten them to the same frame:
- Coroplast yard signs for corrugated plastic inserts, the same 4mm build the frame ships with.
- Foam core signs for a lighter insert when the frame is standing indoors.
- Rigid PVC for a stiffer insert that holds its shape through a wet week outdoors.
Order the replacement at the sign size you started with so it lines up with the frame without trimming on the sidewalk.
What Is the Aluminum Frame Made Of
The frame is satin-silver aluminum, so it will not rust the way steel does out on the sidewalk, and it gives the signs a clean, professional border. If you want a lighter-weight alternative for lower-traffic spots, the Metal Rod A-Frames are a slimmer take on the same idea.
Can You Print Different Art on Each Side
Yes. With the same art, people walking toward the frame from either direction read one message. Print different art on each and the sign does two jobs at once, a sale on one face and directions on the other, or a greeting out front and a menu facing the door.
How Much Does an Aluminum A-Frame Cost
Two units cost $289.96, and a row of 10 for an event costs $1,349.91, about $135 a frame, so the price per unit drops a little as the order grows. Stepping up to the 24" x 36" signs or picking a faster turnaround moves the total, and the live configurator shows the exact number before you commit. Every order also earns 4OVER4 loyalty coins, which you can apply at checkout for up to 9% off the order cost.
How Do Aluminum A-Frames Compare to Other Sidewalk Signs
The comparison below puts the aluminum frame beside the metal rod, reflective Signicade and Signicade A-frames with the starting price of each.
Wally sets your message on the sidewalk
One aluminum A-frame, two signs, working both directions of foot traffic.
One aluminum A-frame with its two signs costs $146.07 and shows up ready to work: a satin-silver frame that will not rust, plus two printed signs, one on each face. Print the same message both ways or a different one on each side, pick your size, and Wally has it out front fast.
Other sidewalk signs to compare
- Metal A-frame signs, for a heavier frame on a busy street.
- Plastic A-frame signs, when the printed sign is the part that matters and the frame is just the stand.
How Fast Can You Get Aluminum A-Frames
Standard production is 4 business days, which keeps the price at its lowest. When the date is tighter, three faster speeds sit above it, so a last-minute opening or event does not leave you without signage, and the configurator shows what each step adds. For a lower-cost economy frame, the Simpo A-Frames are a budget-minded alternative.

Aluminum A-Frames: Frequently Asked Questions
How do the signs attach to the frame?
You fasten one sign to each face with screws, tape, glue or velcro; the signs do not slide in. The frame and the signs ship separately, so mount them when both have arrived.
How heavy is an aluminum A-frame?
Aluminum is the light metal, which is the point of this one, but no weight figure is published for it. If a shipping weight decides the order, ask before you buy.
Will it stay upright in wind?
An A-frame stands on its own footprint, so it holds in an ordinary breeze on level pavement. In a gusty spot, weight the base or bring it in. There is no wind rating for this frame, so treat it as a sign you set out and take in, not a fixed outdoor installation.
