What Are A-Board Signs?

A-board signs in Manchester — also called pavement signs or sandwich boards — are one of the simplest and most effective tools for driving walk-in trade. Placed directly outside your door, they catch the eye of passing pedestrians at exactly the moment they’re deciding where to go.

We supply and print a-board signs for businesses all over Greater Manchester. From a cafe on Deansgate promoting its lunch deal, to a pub in Didsbury advertising live sport, to a salon in Chorlton running a seasonal offer — a well-designed a-board brings customers through the door.

Our a-boards come in a range of frame styles — snap-frame, chalkboard, poster-pocket and premium pavement sign frames — with fully custom printed graphic inserts that we produce in our own print studio. Replaceable panels mean you can update your message without replacing the whole board.

Types of A-Board Signs We Supply

We offer a wide variety of styles, materials and finishes to suit every budget and brand.

All our a-board graphic inserts are printed on weatherproof material with UV-resistant inks — so your sign looks sharp even after a downpour. No warping, no fading.

🔄

Both faces of your a-board can carry different messages — catch customers coming from both directions on the same footpath with two separate promotions.

A-Board Signs Manchester — FAQs

Do I need a council permit to put an a-board on the pavement in Manchester?

In many cases, yes. Under highways legislation, a-boards on public footpaths may require consent from Manchester City Council. We advise you on local requirements when you order.

Can you print replacement graphics for an a-board I bought elsewhere?

Absolutely. As long as you give us the dimensions of your existing frame, we can print replacement graphic inserts to fit. Just send us your artwork or ask us to design new graphics.

How waterproof are the printed graphics?

Very. We print a-board graphics on waterproof PVC or polypropylene substrates with UV-resistant inks. They won’t warp or fade with rain exposure.

How long does a printed a-board graphic last outdoors?

Our outdoor-grade a-board graphics typically last 2–3 years in outdoor conditions. If you’re updating your promotions regularly anyway, longevity is rarely an issue in practice.

Can I order a-boards for multiple Manchester locations?

Yes. We supply bulk orders of a-boards and graphic inserts for businesses with multiple branches across Greater Manchester — with volume pricing that makes larger orders very cost-effective.
