Put Your Message on the Sidewalk, Both Directions at Once
Set it on the pavement and it goes to work in both directions at once, catching foot traffic coming and going before anyone reaches your door. That is the aluminum A-frame: a folding sidewalk sign priced from $146.07 for one complete unit, a satin-silver aluminum frame plus two signs printed on 4mm corrugated plastic, one facing each way. It is the fixture you already know from outside cafes, shops, open houses and events, and 4OVER4.COM has been printing custom signage in New York since 1999.
These A-frames earn their keep because one frame does two jobs. It stands steady outside all day, folds flat to come in at close, and shows a sign on each face so nobody walks past your message unseen. Want to see how it sits next to the rest of the range? Browse the full A-frame signs printing lineup, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
Everything is printed in-house and built exactly to the size and artwork you set. Pick the standard 22" x 28" signs or step up to 24" x 36", print the same art on both faces or a different message on each, and choose a turnaround as fast as next business day.
What Is an Aluminum A-Frame?
An aluminum A-frame is a complete double-sided sidewalk sign: a satin-silver aluminum frame that stands 26" x 44.5", holding two 4mm corrugated-plastic signs, one on each face. It arrives as one unit, so there is nothing to source separately. Set it on the pavement and it works both ways down the sidewalk at once, then folds down at the end of the day so one person can carry it inside or stack it in a back room.
People reach for an A-frame when a wall sign or a window decal cannot do the job: a cafe posting the day's specials, a shop pointing to a sale, an agent marking an open house, an event steering people to the entrance. Because it stands out in the walking path and faces both directions, it gets read instead of ignored. If you are weighing the lighter plastic version, the Signicade A-Frames cover that, and this aluminum build sits above them as the sturdier, weather-ready pick.
What Sizes Are the Signs and the Frame?
Aluminum A-frames print in 2 sign sizes: a standard 22" x 28" and a larger 24" x 36". Both signs print on 4mm (3/16") corrugated plastic, a light, rigid stock made for outdoor signage, and both seat inside the same 26" x 44.5" aluminum frame.
The right size comes down to how far away your readers actually stand. The 22" x 28" reads clearly from across a sidewalk and fits tight storefronts and doorways. The 24" x 36" gives your message more room and more reach when foot or road traffic sits farther back. Every dimension, the material and the turnaround options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Is the Aluminum Frame Made Of?
The frame is the reason this A-frame outlasts a cheap plastic one. It is satin-silver aluminum, so it will not rust the way steel does and it shrugs off sun and rain out on the sidewalk. At 26" x 44.5" it gives the signs a clean, professional border and enough footprint to stand steady in a breeze.
One frame holds a sign on each face, so a single unit does double duty, and because it folds flat, one person can set it out in the morning and fold it away at close. This is the workhorse version for storefronts, open houses, wayfinding and outdoor events. If you want a lighter-weight alternative for lower-traffic spots, the Metal Rod A-Frames are a slimmer take on the same idea.
Can You Print Different Art on Each Side?
Yes. Each aluminum A-frame prints front only on both signs, and you choose either the same artwork on both signs or different artwork on each sign. Print the same art on both and the frame shows one consistent message to traffic from either direction. Print different art on each and the sign does two jobs at once, a sale on one face and directions on the other, or a greeting out front and a menu facing the door.
Before anything runs, you can request a free online proof to check your layout, colors and text, or send it straight to production if your file is ready. Print-ready PDF, JPG and PNG files are all accepted, so most designs upload with no conversion.
How Much Does an Aluminum A-Frame Cost?
Aluminum A-frames start at $146.07 for one complete unit, which includes the aluminum frame and two 22" x 28" signs. You can order 1 to 10 units in a single go, which covers everything from a single storefront to a row of them along an event.
Stepping up to the 24" x 36" size or picking a faster turnaround moves the total, and the live configurator shows the exact number before you commit. Every order also earns 4OVER4 loyalty coins, which you can apply at checkout for up to 9% off the order cost.
How Do Aluminum A-Frames Compare to Other Sidewalk Signs?
Aluminum is the weather-ready, long-haul pick, but it is not your only sidewalk option. If you are weighing a lighter plastic frame, a slimmer metal-rod build or a different price point, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up aluminum A-frames against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
Wally sets your message on the sidewalk
One aluminum A-frame, two signs, working both directions of foot traffic.
An aluminum A-frame starts at $146.07 and shows up ready to work: a satin-silver frame that will not rust, plus two printed signs, one on each face. Print the same message both ways or a different one on each side, pick your size, and Wally has it out front fast.
How Fast Can You Get Aluminum A-Frames?
Standard production for these signs is 4 business days, which keeps the price at its lowest. When the date is tighter, three faster speeds sit above it: 3-day, 2-day and next business day, so a last-minute opening or event does not leave you without signage. You choose the speed right in the configurator and see what each step adds before you pick. If you want a lower-cost economy A-frame instead, the Simpo A-Frames are a budget-minded alternative.
