A-frame pavement signs (also called a board signs or sandwich boards) are portable, double-sided advertising displays that attract foot traffic outside your shop front, restaurant, or event. Printroom supplies a range of styles and materials, with custom poster printing and next-day delivery across Ireland.
You know what sits between someone walking past your door and walking through it? Often, it is a well-placed sign on the pavement. A-frame pavement signs are foldable, double-sided display boards that hold printed posters behind a protective anti-glare sheet, giving you eye-catching advertising that faces both directions of foot traffic. Fold flat and store when you are done. Simple as that.
Next-day delivery available.
What You Get with Your A-Frame Sign
To draw foot traffic past your shop, cafe, pub, or salon, a pavement sign does the heavy lifting. Our portable, foldable A-frame pavement signs hold full-colour printed posters behind an anti-glare sheet, so your offer stays sharp in Dublin daylight. Each is double-sided to catch people from both directions, and you swap posters yourself in seconds. We supply A-boards, swing signs, and flex signs across Ireland, with custom printing and next-day delivery.
Pavement Sign Types: A-Frame, Swing and Flex
The right pavement sign depends on your location, footfall, and how often you change posters.
| Type | Best for | Why choose it |
| A-frame sandwich board | Shop fronts and quick poster changes | Stable, easy snap frame poster swaps |
| Swing sign | High-traffic, windy conditions | Weighted recycled rubber base for stability |
| Flex signs | Budget and frequent transport | Lightweight, foldable, easy to store |
All three are designed for outdoor use and pack flat to bring inside after hours.
Sizes, Materials and Custom Printing
Choose a size to match your pavement and frontage, then send us print-ready artwork for full-colour posters.
Our pavement signage comes in A1 (594 x 841mm) and A0 for high-impact display, plus A2 for narrower spaces. Frames use durable aluminium with a snap frame edge that opens flat, holding each poster behind an anti-glare cover. Posters print on weather-ready corriboard, PVC, laminate, or banner material.
- One design, or a different poster on each side of a double-sided design
- One-off posters, or full poster display sets for ongoing campaigns
- Chalkboard styles for handwritten menus and daily offers
- We can check your file and help with eye-catching artwork
Built for Irish Weather and Easy Poster Swaps
Our outdoor signage is built for Irish weather, and you can change posters without tools.
Rain and wind are a fact of life here, so the aluminium frames, hinges, and stable legs cope with windy weather conditions on exposed shop fronts and forecourts. For the most exposed sites, a swing sign with its weighted base holds firm. To change a poster, open the frame, lift the anti-glare cover, slide in the new one, and close it. That makes a pavement sign a simple marketing tool for retail environments.
Who Uses A-Board Pavement Signs
Any business with passing foot traffic benefits from a sandwich board outside the door.
Cafes show lunch deals, pubs promote match days, salons invite walk-ins, and clinics, gyms, and event organisers use them for wayfinding. Placed in a high-traffic area, a pavement sign nudges purchase decisions as people pass. We also supply pull-up banners, demo counters, fabric walls, and vehicle graphics for trade shows and exhibition stands.
Delivery and Quotes Across Ireland
Choose your model, size, and delivery speed, then upload artwork or ask us for help.
We offer next-day delivery on many pavement signs in Dublin, with delivery across Ireland at competitive prices. Turnaround depends on approved artwork, model, and quantity, and we handle rush jobs where cutoffs allow. For multi-location businesses, ask about bulk pricing and a simple reorder path for future posters.
Can I change the posters myself?
Yes. Open the snap frame, lift the anti-glare cover, insert your poster, and close it. No tools needed and it takes seconds.
Are A-frame pavement signs built for Irish weather?
Yes. The aluminium frames suit outdoor use, and for very exposed or windy spots we recommend a swing sign with a weighted base. Bring any sign indoors during storms.
Do I need a licence to place an A board sign in Dublin?
Rules vary by area and some busy streets require permission. Check your local council guidance, such as Dublin City Council, and any property terms first.
What poster sizes are available?
Common sizes are A1 (594 x 841mm) and A0 for maximum visibility, with A2 for tighter pavements. We will confirm the right size for your frame.
What file should I supply for printing?
A print-ready PDF works best, with correct bleed and a safe area for text. Send it over and we will run a quick check before printing.
