A polished marketing display

Looking for a modern storefront sign that's easy to move and reposition? Metal A-Frame signs have you covered – with a sleek design that clips onto a sturdy black frame. Standing at 36" tall, the frame matches standard eye-level for foot traffic. Choose from circle (18" x 18"), square (18" x 18") or rectangle (16" x 24") to fit your space. Use them for branding,outdoor advertising or wayfinding signage. And with double-sided printing, you can display a different message on each side – like a welcome on the front and a thank you on the back. The powder-coated steel frame resists rust and degradation in harsh weather, making it ideal for outdoor use.

Quick outdoor advertising

With easy assembly and lightweight materials, you can get your metal A-Board set up and ready to go in minutes. Place it outside your shop in the morning and bring it in at closing time. Need to refresh your message? Select "Sign Only" to order extra interchangeable sign panels. Just swap in a new graphic using the same durable 12 lb. frame – perfect for rotating seasonal promotions or daily updates. It breaks down for compact storage – ideal for retailers with limited back-room space.

Easy design process

Ready to get started? Browse templates to jumpstart your design, then personalize with your business name, logo and message. Customize text, colours and imagery to grab attention. We handle the printing and shipping, and your metal A-Frame arrives ready to assemble and display.

I ordered two of these signs for my small business. One was shipped without all the screws. Had to order new screws to put it together. The other never went together properly and therefore always falls over, and is wonky. Very unfortunate for a sign of this price point.

The signed was shipped without both bolts, holding the cross bar in place. Not even and extra one in the package. Luckily Vista Print sent another one to replace it.

Do not order this sign! For $400, the frame is absolutely horribly designed. It continuously was knocked over by the slightest wind or even hip when someone walked by, It continued to be wobbly, I would tighten it and it would wobble, until I put it inside when someone knocked into it or maybe there was a fight in our lobby or someone moving furniture, I do not know, my classes are in the day. Next morning I got to my studio with my dog to check in on the building as after weekends it's always a mess from the bars, and the sign was exactly as in the photo! Bent. It would NOT stand straight. I took it upstairs to take it apart and the entire inside screw was bent. It is really cheaply made. The metal has no weight, wobbles alot. As for the sign it is also extremely small an does NOT stand out on the street at all, sort of fades in with everything and the concrete, and the actual printing area is nothing special. It is super small, and your business will not stand out from the other A frames on the sidewalk, because of the design this just blends into everything, even street lamps. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL. IT WAS $400. I WOULD HAVE SPENT THAT $400 ELSEWHERE. AS A NEW SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, I AM SO UPSET. I AM HOPING TO GET A REFUN AS I WANT THIS THING OUT OF MY STUDIO, AND MY HANDS. It is just awful! I only had it out one month due to snow and weather. I just put this thing together! Imagine. This won't las your business a year! WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT DO IT!! $400 in Canada right now, is food. Find another sign or shop wisely, but I do not suggest any business use this.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, our metal A-Frame signs are built for outdoor use. The powder-coated steel frame resists rust and degradation, even in coastal climates. At just 12 lbs., it's lightweight and stable enough for high-traffic storefronts and parking lots. Just bring it indoors during severe weather or overnight, and it'll last for 2 years.

The frame is made of powder-coated steel and the sign is made of 1/4" aluminum composite board. Both materials are durable and rust-resistant.

Here are the sizes of the different shapes, the frame and the overall weight:
Circle: 18" x 18"
Square: 18" x 18"
Rectangle: 16" x 24"
Frame & Sign: 20.25" W x 36" H x 20" D
Frame & Sign Weight: 12 lbs.

Yes you can. Select the “Sign Only” bundle option at the top of the page.

Yes. Assembly takes about 10–15 minutes. You'll get the A-Frame legs, top tube, sign, screws, C-clips, fasteners and Allen wrench. You'll also need a flat screwdriver. Just attach the legs to the top tube with the screws, slide the C-clips through the hanging tabs, insert the sign and tighten the fasteners. Take a look at our assembly guide PDF above for step-by-step instructions.

With proper care and use, your sign will last up to 2 years.

Here are a few quick tips to creating an attention-grabbing, double-sided sign:

  • Choose a font colour that contrasts with your chosen background colour
  • Make sure your text is large enough to be read from a few feet away
  • Ensure your images are high-resolution and aren’t blurry
  • Double-check that any arrows you’re using are facing the right way
  • Use both sides of your sign – and display a unique message on each

Wipe down the frame monthly with a soft, damp cloth. In high-salt environments, clean it more frequently to prevent salt buildup. If you notice scratches in the black powder coat, apply a matte black touch-up pen to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can damage the coating.

Yes. It's equally at home indoors for trade shows, retail displays or office lobbies. The lightweight, portable design makes it easy to reposition.
