Our aluminum signs are 2mm or approximately 1/13” thick. They are made up of two .008” aluminum sheets and a solid polyethylene core. This total thickness equates to a 13.5 gauge aluminum and is extremely durable. In our experience the 2 mm aluminum signs are extremely durable and sufficiently thick for nearly all uses. Notwithstanding, if you are interested in thicker aluminum signs please contact us for a custom quote.

No, our standard aluminum signs are not reflective. If your application requires reflective material, please click over here for reflective aluminum signs.

Yes, assuming you have the know how and proper tools, drilling your own holes is fairly easy. Though for convenience reasons most people simply choose to have us drill the holes. The caveat of drilling your own holes is that any damage to the sign during the process of drilling your own holes voids any warranty that may be in place for the sign.

Yes, the standard for drilled holes is one in each corner. Drilled holes are typically 3/8 inches in diameter and set .5 inches from the edge of your sign. If you need more than the standard 4 holes you can note this request on the checkout page in the customer comments field. Additional holes, within reason, are free. Requests that exceed reasonable limits may be subject to additional charges.

We offer a number of standard sizes including: 6″x18″, 6″x24″, 18″x24″, 2’x1’, 2′x2′, 4’x2’, 4′x4′, 6’x3’, 4′x8′. Though unlike other sign companies, at ClassicDsigns you can design and order any custom size sign you might need. The only dimension restrictions are 4” on the low end and 96” on the high end. Further, the absolute biggest sign that can be made is 48”x96”

We offer two different graphic options for your custom A-Frame signs.

The first is a corrugated plastic “insert” that slides into the indented area of the graphic. Tabs on either side of this area slide over the top of your graphic to hold it firmly in place. The obvious advantage of using this type of A-Frame sign is the ability to regularly swap out graphics as sales, seasons or marketing messages change.

The other option for your graphic is to have it printed on a 4 mil permanent adhesive vinyl. The graphic is then applied to the sign area on the frame. While this graphic is less versatile than the corrugated plastic graphic, if you’d like to change your graphics you can purchase additional decals to lay over top the previous ones. Doing so still gives you a great looking sidewalk sign with zero indication that the graphic was previously different.

Yes. The adhesive graphic(s) option will be covered by a matte laminate to help protect it against elements when used outside as well as unintentional scratching, rubbing, etc. The removable corrugated plastic graphic option can easily be removed and changed out if desired. It is also covered by a very thin laminate to protect it. Nonetheless, it is intended that these signs are to be used outdoors in all situations except severe weather of any type.

The actual sign area for your custom graphic is 24” wide by 36” high. This area and the sandwich board sign itself (25” wide x 45” high) is not customizable.

We currently only offer the standard 25”x45” sandwich board sign.

The graphic area for both types of A-Frame signs will always be 24” wide by 36” high.

However, for the Standard white A-Frame sign, the parts of your design that you leave white will end up blending in fairly well with the frame. Therefore, you can make your design whatever shape you’d like within that 24”x36” area and it will give the appearance of being a smaller graphic or cut to shape.

The best looking sign will still be one that uses a full 24”x36” graphic.

Please note that this is not possible on the Premium A-Frame Signs. The corrugated plastic graphic needs to be exactly 24”x36” in order for the graphic to work properly with the frames.

No. We currently do not offer either chalk or dry erase based options for your custom A-Frame sign. If you are interested in these products please contact us so we can offer these in the future!

Currently we only offer the heavy duty plastic A-Frame sign as seen on this page. We’ve found this to be the best all around A-Frame sign due to its durability, ease of use, and ability to be a double sided sign with large graphics. Many of the alternatives are disappointing in terms of performance (cheap/thin metal or wooden frames) or a hassle to use. We do hope to offer similarly durable A-Frame signs that feature chalkboard and dry erase functionality in the future.

Currently we offer only the white plastic sandwich board signs for the laminated adhesive graphic. These are referred to as our “Standard” A-Frame signs. The corrugated plastic graphic A-Frame sign can either be a white or black plastic frame. These are referred to as our “Premium” A-Frame signs. Though either of the signs allows you to fully customize the color of your image and the messaging for your sign on the graphics themselves.

Our sandwich board signs should last at least 5+ years whether used outside or inside as long as they are cared for properly. In many cases, this lifespan is significantly longer, but will depend largely on what kind of constant conditions it is used in and the care of the frame/graphics.

No. As pictured on this page there are no wheels on the bottom. It does have a molded handle at the top of the frame for easy carrying and positioning. We’ve found that an A-Frame with no wheels is more likely to remain stable while the handle still provides easy storing and moving.

No. We print all of our signs in full color. So, no matter how many colors your sign(s) may have, your cost will not go up. Your cost will be determined by the quantity you order, the shipping options you choose as well as any applicable taxes.

No. We have a wide range of templates available for you to use or start your design with. Alternatively, you can contact us to take advantage of free design services from one of our professional designers or upload your file(s) to our design tool to create your custom A-Frame signs.

No. At the current time we only offer the sandwich boards on this page as described. Each side has a regressed sign graphic area for your sign to feature either the adhesive decal or corrugated plastic insert. The double sided functionality offsets the need for a rotating or swinging aspect of the sign. Through years of experience, feedback from our customers, and our own use, the sign we offer has proven to be far more durable and just as effecti

We do not currently offer changeable letter signs in either the sandwich board variety or otherwise. We would recommend a chalkboard or dry erase alternative in the case the messaging needs to change frequently.

No. With either option, the sign comes ready to use with your graphics already installed in the sign. Simply unfold the sign, decide whether you need to ballast it with sand or water and then set it and forget it.

If you select the adhesive decal the only way to change the graphic is to put another adhesive decal over the top of the original. If done well there is no noticeable indication that an older graphic was used. With the corrugated plastic graphics you can switch your signs out as often as you’d like assuming you have alternative signs that are the proper size and material.
