How Much Does a Sidewalk A-Frame Sign Cost?

A sidewalk A-frame with two printed 22″ × 28″ inserts — one for the front pocket, one for the back — costs $249, shipped free. That is the white Plasticade SimpoSign II sandwich board with a base you fill with sand or water. The lighter steel real-estate A-frame with a 24″ × 18″ sign is $119.

Two A-frames, two jobs

The SimpoSign at $249 is the shop sign: a one-piece molded plastic frame, 37″ tall, with a recessed pocket on each face that takes a 22″ × 28″ coroplast insert. The inserts lift out and drop in without tools, so a café or salon can change the message for the season and keep the frame for years. The hollow base takes sand or water for weight.

The steel A-frame at $119 is the listing sign: a black metal frame with a 24″ × 18″ landscape sign zip-tied to it and a rider clamp on top. Lighter, folds flat for a trunk, and the graphic is $39 to replace when the listing changes.

What the $249 includes

The frame, the stabilizing bar, and two separate 22″ × 28″ inserts on 4 mm UV-printed coroplast, each printed on one face. Send one file and we print it twice; send two files for a different front and back. A designer proofs it within 2–4 business hours and nothing prints until you approve.

Changing the message later

Order a fresh pair of inserts by emailing us the new artwork and your original order number — we keep the file. Many shops order a seasonal set and rotate them. The frame is UV-stable and the inserts are the same board as our yard signs, so the whole thing lives outdoors year-round.

When another printer will cost you less

  • You want a chalkboard or dry-erase board. Different product; a restaurant-supply store sells them for less than a printed frame.
  • You need six or more identical frames. A sign-hardware wholesaler will beat a flat per-frame price at that quantity.
  • You just need a sign for one listing. The $119 steel frame is the right buy, and the $39 replacement graphic is why.
