The story Guide Sacramento foot traffic to your business

Crafted from durable PVC plastic and printed with advanced digital technology, our A-frames stand up to Sacramento’s sun and weather—ideal for busy sidewalks, trade shows, or indoor lobbies.

Also called sidewalk or sandwich board signs, each unit unfolds in seconds and features internal ballast cavities for added stability. High-resolution printing ensures your colors pop and your message gets noticed.

Perfect for restaurants, cafés, retail shops, parking garages, schools, and malls throughout the Sacramento area, these lightweight yet sturdy boards deliver your message wherever foot traffic flows. The fold-flat design makes daily setup and takedown simple.

A-frames position your promotions at eye level for pedestrians—great for menu specials, open-house directions, or wayfinding in busy Sacramento districts. All signs are proudly produced in California for fast turnaround.

Quick answer

Direct answer: A-frame signs (also known as sidewalk or sandwich board signs) are portable, double-sided displays with removable PVC inserts. They unfold quickly, withstand weather and UV exposure, and include built-in ballast cavities for wind stability—perfect for Sacramento-area storefronts and events.

Key takeaways

  • Our A-frames feature 3 mm PVC inserts that easily pop in and out—order extras to rotate your messaging without purchasing new frames.
  • Add water or sand to the internal ballast cavities when used outdoors; the 20-lb base helps keep your sign stable in typical Sacramento winds.
  • Standard frame size is 27″ × 46.125″ with a 24″ × 36″ insert area—custom sizes are not available at this time.
