A reliable, portable signage solution.

When it comes to capturing attention right where your customers are walking, few solutions are as versatile and effective as the humble A-frame sign. Also known as sandwich boards or pavement signs, A-frames offer a practical and affordable way to advertise, direct foot traffic, or promote special offers outside your shopfront or on the footpath.

At Lane Communications, we specialise in flat panel signs, including high-quality digitally printed flat panel signs, and A-frame signs are one of the most popular and functional formats we offer. Whether you're a retail shop, café, real estate agent, or event organiser, an A-frame sign for your Adelaide business is a smart addition to your signage solutions.

What is an A-frame sign?

An A-frame sign is a double-sided sign that folds out into an ‘A’ shape, designed to stand on the ground and catch the attention of people walking by. It’s an ideal option for temporary or semi-permanent signage that needs to be portable, durable, and visible from both directions.

These signs are used across a wide range of industries for purposes such as:

  • Displaying daily specials or menus
  • Promoting flash sales or limited time offers
  • Providing directions for events
  • Notifying pedestrians of changes or hazards
  • Marketing real estate open homes
  • Humorous marketing messages to attract foot traffic

The portability of an A-frame sign makes it especially useful for businesses that need to bring signage in and out daily or move it to different locations.

A variety of sizes to suit your needs

A-frame signs come in a range of sizes to suit various locations and uses. The most commonly used A-Frame signs in Adelaide are 600mm wide x 900mm high, which offers excellent visibility without being too bulky to move around. This size provides ample space for bold graphics and easy-to-read messaging.

However, larger and smaller sizes are also available depending on your requirements and the space available. Need something compact for a tight footpath? Or a bigger format for maximum visibility from a distance? We can help you choose the size that suits your space to convey your message effectively.

A-frame signs panel material: Corflute or Metal ACP Panels?

We offer two main panel types for our A-frame signs: corflute panels and metal Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP panels). Each material has distinct advantages depending on your business needs and how the sign will be used.

Corflute Panels

Corflute is a lightweight, corrugated plastic material that’s economical and easy to change out. It’s a popular choice for businesses that frequently update their signage or run short-term promotions.

We use flat-bed digital printing to create high-quality digitally printed flat panel signs on corflute. This process prints your design directly onto the corflute surface using UV-stable inks, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colours with crisp detail. Because the print is applied directly to the panel, there's no peeling or bubbling—just clean, professional results.

Benefits of corflute panels include:

  • Lightweight and easy to transport
  • Affordable, ideal for temporary signage
  • UV-stable prints resist fading outdoors
  • Easy to replace for frequently changing messages

Corflute is ideal for retail businesses, market stalls, events, real estate applications, or any situation where flexibility and quick turnaround are required.

ACP Panels

For a more permanent or premium look, Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) is the go-to choice. ACP panels are made from aluminium composite material (ACM) which consist of two aluminium sheets bonded to a polyethylene core, making them rigid, weather-resistant, and highly durable.

Our aluminium composite panel signs are produced by digitally printing onto self-adhesive vinyl, which is then professionally applied to the metal panel surface. Thanks to digital printing, the process allows for ultra-vivid colours, smooth finishes, and a professional look that lasts in all weather conditions. You can also opt for a gloss, matte, or anti-graffiti laminate for added protection and finish.

Benefits of aluminium composite panels include:

  • Strong and weatherproof
  • Long-lasting—ideal for permanent displays
  • Sleek, professional appearance
  • Custom finishes available

Aluminium composite panel signage is ideal for outdoor use in high-traffic areas or where a sign needs to retain its appearance over time, such as storefronts, cafés, professional services, or directional signage at events.

Why businesses love A-frame signs

No matter which panel type you choose, A-frame signs are a practical investment with lasting benefits. A-frame signs have stood the test of time for one key reason: they work. Here’s why they’re a business favourite:

1. Highly Visible

Positioned at ground level and double-sided, A-frames are naturally eye-catching. They’re ideal for drawing attention from people walking by in both directions.

2. Portable and Easy to Store

Thanks to their foldable design, A-frame signs can be packed away or moved to a different location with ease. No tools, no fuss.

3. Weather-Resistant Materials

Our signs are built to withstand Aussie conditions. Whether you choose corflute or metal panels, our Digitally Printed Flat Panel Signs are designed for outdoor durability.

4. Cost-Effective Marketing

Compared to other forms of advertising, A-frame signs offer an excellent return on investment. Once printed, they can be used repeatedly, and you can easily update the panels if your message changes.

5. Customisable Design

With full-colour digital printing, your signage can be as bold and creative as your brand demands. From sleek minimalism to eye-popping promotions, we can bring your design to life.
