A-Frame Signs
Our A-frame signs are built in our Coolum Beach workshop from timber and ply, made to the size and specification your footpath, doorway and menu actually need — not picked from a catalogue. They're the sign that sits closest to your customer, so they're built to be carried out every morning and packed away every night.
Panels can take printed inserts that swap out when your menu, specials or season change, or carry double-sided prints so the sign works for foot traffic from both directions. Everything is produced in-house alongside ourlarge-format printing.
We make both custom-painted and printed boards, and changeable letterboard-style A-frames where the message needs to update by hand.
Sunshine Coast sun, onshore wind and salt air are hard on footpath signs. We choose timbers, finishes and print materials that stand up to UV and moisture, and build the frame heavy and stable enough not to tip in a breeze.
A-frames suit cafes, retail, salons and events. Because we also make theshop fascia and window graphics, your footpath sign can be matched to your shopfront branding so all three read as one scheme. We make them for businesses in Noosa, Maroochydoreand Mooloolaba and right across the coast.

Materials and finishes

Footpath signs can come under council rules, and some shopping centres have their own — worth checking before you order.

Questions
Can I change the message on my A-frame?
Yes. Printed inserts can be swapped, and letterboard A-frames let you change the wording yourself.
Can you print new inserts for my existing A-frame?
Often, yes. Send us the panel size and we'll print new inserts to fit.
Do I need council approval for a footpath sign?
It depends on the council and where it goes. Check with your council or centre manager before placing one on the footpath.
Are A-frames weatherproof?
They're made for outdoor use, but bring them in overnight and in strong wind — that's how they last.
What's a mirror A-frame?
A footpath sign with a mirror-finish face and cut lettering — see our Cotton On Body project story.
