Your A1 sign printing is made to order and dispatched from the UK.
Put up outdoors, a banner, board or flag counts as an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Most small ones need no application, but the council can tell you if yours does.
Postage is £7.95 to the UK mainland and free over £100, worked out after discounts and not counting artwork fees. The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Questions
Quick answers about a1 sign printing.
Before I put an A1 board on the pavement outside my shop, who should I ask?
Your local council. A lot of councils either require a licence for pavement A-boards or restrict where they go, so a quick check saves trouble with the board later.
How do I find out what my A-board will cost?
Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £174.81. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout.
Who handles my A1 A-Frame pavement sign order?
FatPrint takes the order and a person checks your file before anything is made. Each A-board is made to order for you, then sent by courier with tracking. If anything needs changing, message us from the Contact page.
Do you check the design I upload?
Every upload is looked at by a person first: resolution, bleed and text size all get checked. If anything needs fixing on your A1 A-Frame pavement sign order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Is there a discount if I buy more?
Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 10 is priced on this page for your A1 A-Frame pavement sign order. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
How long until my A1 A-Frame pavement sign order ships?
Pick Saver (7 working days), Standard (5 working days) or Express (3 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. The courier then needs 1 to 3 working days, and the tracking link comes by email. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Picked the way the page first loads, with A1 · 594 × 841 mm and frame with 2 posters, A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs come to £174.81. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. At £174.81 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
Do posters arrive in the box when I buy A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs, or only the frame?
The posters for this one are A1. What arrives: frame with 2 posters. Both faces can match, or you can print a different design for each side, for example today's specials on one and opening hours on the other. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Allow 7 working days on Saver, 5 on Standard or 3 on Express before A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Is delivery extra on top of the price of A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. The opening price of £174.81 already clears that line. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.
Which artwork services are offered with A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?
Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
How big are A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
It measures A1 (594 × 841 mm) and costs from £174.81. If that is not quite right for your space, the A2 A-Frame Pavement Signs or the A-Frame Pavement Signs may fit better. That price alone takes the goods past £100, so mainland delivery is free. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.
Am I allowed to stand these A-boards outside on the public footpath?
Quite possibly not without asking. Lots of councils license or limit A-boards, barriers and outdoor furniture on public pavements, and some streets do not allow them at all. Ask your local council first, and leave a clear route for wheelchair users, buggies and blind or partially sighted people. Your own forecourt or private land is usually a different matter, with more freedom. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for these A-boards is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
How many A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs can I buy at one time?
Anything from 1 to 10. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 10, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these A-boards?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs begin at £174.81, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. At £174.81 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?
Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
Our event is close. Can A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs can be on the way in 3 working days on the opening option, for £202.40, where Saver is £174.81 and takes 7 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. If you have no file, you can build the design for these A-boards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
Does the number of different designs option I choose make a difference to A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
The number of different designs option has 2 settings: 2 or 1. Choose one design for both faces, or a separate design for each face. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these A-boards?
Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. If you have no file, you can build the design for these A-boards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. For reference, A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs are sold at A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can I send a Word or Canva file for A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Once I finish designing these A-boards online, is the file mine to keep?
Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
Would A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs be useful for cafes, restaurants and food businesses?
For kitchens, counters and dining areas, look under Food & Hospitality in the shop: A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs are listed there. Prices begin at £174.81; the size is A1 (594 × 841 mm); you can order from 1 up to 10. People buying for that kind of work often add Please Turn Off the Taps Save Water Sign or A-Frame Pavement Signs. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
Would these A-boards work for a small cafe, a church or a village shop?
Yes. A notice outside the door is still one of the simplest ways to catch passers-by. Replacement posters can be bought on their own, so the frame keeps working as your news changes. It takes A1 posters. On a public footpath, ask your local council about the rules before it goes out. You will also find these A-boards in our Food & Hospitality section.
We have a school fair coming up. Would these A-boards be suitable?
Yes. Tie them to railings, a fence or a gazebo, or stand them on an easel. If you are outside and the wind picks up, check the fixings again during the day. Leave time for making and delivery before the date of the fair. You will also find these A-boards in our Food & Hospitality section. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
How easy is it to swap the poster in my A-board?
Very easy, and that is the point of the frame. Slide the old poster out and a new one in whenever the menu, the offer or the event changes. We also sell replacement A-board posters by themselves. Plenty of cafes and market traders print several at once and rotate them from Monday to Sunday or as each season comes round. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
How would I decide between A-Frame Pavement Signs and A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Set A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs beside A-Frame Pavement Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm). Opening price: £174.81 on this page and £117.99 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs, or would A-Frame Replacement Posters suit me better?
Set A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs beside A-Frame Replacement Posters and a few things differ. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm). Opening price: £174.81 on this page and £32.74 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Where do A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs and A2 A-Frame Pavement Signs differ?
Set A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs beside A2 A-Frame Pavement Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and only A2 (420 × 594 mm) on the other. Opening price: £174.81 on this page and £117.99 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can I send these A-boards back if I no longer need them?
If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place, along with downloads of designs you made online. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can I pay for A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs by card as a guest?
Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these A-boards once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.
Our club needs a big batch of A-boards, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need them and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
I am not sure which options to pick for these A-boards. Can someone advise me?
Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the A-board will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
Which includes is used on A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
There is one includes setting here: frame with 2 posters, fitted as standard. Choose whether you want the printed graphic alone, the frame alone, or the two together. Pick your size and quantity on the page to see the total and the days it takes. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Who looks after me once I have bought A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs?
FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these A-boards leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £174.81.
Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?
CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. For reference, these A-boards measure A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
