Metal A-Frame Signs

Put a Sign on the Sidewalk That Sells From Both Sides

Set a metal A-frame sign at the curb and it points people to your door all day. Order one from $65.90, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 11 reviews, and you get a black metal A-frame plus a 24 by 18 inch corrugated plastic panel printed in full color. At closing time it folds flat and goes back inside.

An A-frame is two panels hinged at the top, so it stands on its own and reads from either direction of foot traffic. This one uses a black metal frame, which gives it the weight to stay put on a breezy corner. Want to see where it sits in the bigger lineup?

One sign is $65.90, frame and printed panel together. An agent covering an open house route, or a shop with several entrances, orders a set, and the per-sign price drops at each step up to 10. Tap any quantity below for the total and the saving at each step.

What is a metal A-frame sign

A metal A-frame sign is a freestanding, double sided sidewalk sign shaped like the letter A. At 4OVER4 it pairs a 27.75" x 31.5" black metal frame with a 24" x 18" corrugated plastic panel that prints full color, so both faces of the A carry your message to foot traffic coming from either direction.

You have seen this sign outside a shop, an open house or a cafe: hinged at the top, standing on its own, folded shut at closing time. The 4mm (3/16") corrugated plastic panel slides in and prints in full color, which means a person walking toward you and a person walking away both get the same call to action.

How big is the sign and frame

The printed panel measures 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall on a sturdy 4mm (3/16") corrugated plastic. It sits in a black metal frame that stands 27.75" x 31.5" overall, and the panel carries grommets in the top corners to lock it in place. This is a single fixed size, built to read from across a parking lot.

The 24" x 18" landscape panel gives you room for a headline, a logo, and a phone number that reads clearly from the curb. The corrugated plastic is the material yard and construction signs use, and it takes rain and a few knocks. The black metal frame gives the whole unit real weight and a clean, professional look, and the top-corner grommets keep the panel from rattling loose when the wind picks up. The full spec is laid out below the way the live configurator presents it.

Can you print both sides and add a rider or flag

Every metal A-frame sign prints double sided, and you choose the same image on both faces or two different images. You can also add a 24" x 6" double sided rider sign, a red open house pennant flag with hardware, and the panel ships with grommets in the top corners. A free online proof is available before the job goes to print.

Because an A-frame is seen from both directions, it prints double sided by default. Run the same artwork on each face for one clear message, or print two different images when you want a separate pitch for each direction of foot traffic. For real estate and open houses there are two add-ons: a 24" x 6" double sided rider sign that clips on for a name, a price, or a SOLD banner, and a red open house pennant flag with its own hardware to catch eyes from down the block.

How much does a metal A-frame sign cost

A metal A-frame sign starts at $65.90, and that price includes both the black metal frame and one printed 24" x 18" panel. Order more and the per-sign cost falls: 3 signs run $172.65, 5 run $276.78, and 10 run $540.03, which works out to about $54 per sign. The live configurator shows the exact total before you check out.

A single sign covers one entrance. A listing agent working a Sunday of showings, or a chain with several storefronts, orders the set. The tenth sign costs roughly $54 instead of the $65.90 you pay for one. Drag the slider below to set your count and see the order total and the per-sign cost.

How fast can you get a metal A-frame sign

4OVER4 prints metal A-frame signs on a standard 4 business day turnaround, with a 2 business day rush available when a listing or an opening cannot wait. You pick the speed in the configurator, and the faster option adjusts the price. Accepted print files are PDF, JPG, or PNG.

Standard production runs 4 business days, which suits most orders placed ahead of a launch or a weekend of showings. When the calendar is tighter, the 2 business day rush cuts that in half, so a last-minute open house or a grand opening still gets a proper sign out front. Upload your artwork as a PDF, JPG, or PNG, and if you want a second set of eyes first, the free online proof confirms everything looks right before it prints.

What do people use metal A-frame signs for

Metal A-frame signs work for open houses and real estate listings, retail sidewalk promotions, restaurant specials, trade shows, and event wayfinding. Their double sided panels and freestanding metal frame suit any spot where foot traffic passes from both directions, and the rider sign and open house flag add-ons make them a favorite of real estate agents. Our guide on how to design a custom metal sign that reads from the street walks through the panel layout.

For an agent, the metal A-frame parks at the curb, the rider sign names the listing or reads OPEN HOUSE, and the pennant flag catches drivers before they pass. Shops and venues use the same sign for a cafe's daily special, a boutique's sidewalk sale, a restaurant's brunch hours or a conference room number. It stands on its own and folds flat for the trunk.

How do metal A-frame signs compare to banners and magnets

A metal A-frame stands on its own at street level. If your message needs to hang on a wall or a fence, weigh it against indoor banners and weatherproof outdoor banners. If you would rather your sign travel on a vehicle, car magnets do that job. The chart below lines up the starting price on each so you can compare before you choose.
