SimpoSign A-Frame Sign
The sidewalk sandwich board. A white molded frame with two drop-in 22″ × 28″ printed inserts, front and back. Fill the base with sand, set it by the door, swap the message whenever you like.
Your configuration
The sign by the door
Cafés, salons, gyms, dispensaries, farm stands, church halls — anywhere people walk past an entrance, a sandwich board on the sidewalk is what turns them in. The SimpoSign II is the lightweight member of the Plasticade Signicade family: a one-piece molded white frame, hinged at the top, with a recessed pocket on each face that takes a 22″ × 28″ sign.
Both pockets come filled. We print your artwork on two separate 4 mm coroplast inserts, one face each, — the same UV-printed board as our yard signs — and ship them in the frame, ready to stand up. When the special changes, lift the inserts out and drop in new ones.

Outdoors, on purpose
UV-stable frame, weatherproof inserts. Weight the base and it lives on the sidewalk all season. Want a rider or a landscape sign for a listing? That is the steel A-frame.

File requirements
- PDF or JPEG, single page — one file for both inserts, or two files named FRONT and BACK
- Built at 22″ × 28″, or any exact multiple
- CMYK — no Pantone or spot colors
- 150 dpi at final size
- Fonts converted to outlines
- No crop marks and no bleed — fill the background to the edge
Designing for a sidewalk sign
- It is read by someone walking past at ten feet. One headline, three or four words, in the top third.
- Then the offer or the hours, then one way to act — “walk in”, a phone number, a short URL.
- Keep everything inside the dashed safe line; the outer half inch is under the frame.
- Light background, dark type reads best in daylight. Reverse it for a menu board look.
- A QR code works at 4″ square or larger, in the lower half where a phone can reach it.
- Use the back pocket. A second message facing the other direction costs nothing extra — the second insert is in the price.
One person, no tools, about a minute.
Open the frame at the hinge and set it on the ground where you want it; clip the stabilizing bar between the two halves.
Fill the hollow base with sand or water through the plug if the sign will live outdoors. Dry sand is easier to move later; water is quicker.
The inserts ship in the pockets. To change one, lift it straight up and out, and drop the new one in from the top.
To store, pull the bar, fold flat and lean it inside. Bring it in for storms — a weighted base handles wind, not a gale.
If an insert rattles
Coroplast expands a little in heat and shrinks in cold, so a pocket that was snug in July can rattle in January. A strip of clear tape across the top edge inside the pocket stops it; it never affects the print.
