Overview

Most pavement signs are bought once and fed with new posters for years. If you already have posters, or you want to buy the stand now and sort the message later, the a-board frame only option is the one: the frame on its own, ready for your poster.

A-board frame only: which size?

Two sizes, A2 and A1. A1 is the one for a busy street where people walk past quickly; A2 suits a narrow pavement, a shop doorway or an indoor spot where a big board would be in the way. The poster size matches the frame, so an A1 frame takes A1 posters.

Filling it

The poster slides in, so changing the message takes seconds. When you need new ones, the A-frame replacement posters are made to fit. If you would rather have frame and posters in one go, the full A-frame pavement sign comes printed.

Before it goes outside

Check your council's rules on pavement boards first: many set where a board may stand and how much pavement must stay clear. Bring the board in at night and on very windy days. Outdoors, signs count as advertisements 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.

Timing and delivery

You can order 1 to 10 a-board frame only units at once. Standard production is 5 working days after your order is confirmed, Express from 3 and Saver 7. Every frame is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Delivery is £7.95 to a UK mainland address, free once your order reaches £100 after discounts; see the delivery page for the Highlands and islands. More stands and boards are in pavement signs.

Questions

Quick answers about a-board frame only.

Which sizes can I get an A-Frame pavement sign frame only in?

There are 2: A2 (420 × 594 mm) or A1 (594 × 841 mm). Prices start at £91.02 and change with the size you pick.

Which options does this A-board have?

2 sizes from A2 (420 × 594 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm), includes (frame only) and number of different designs (1 or 2). Every combination is priced on this page, from £91.02.

What is the turnaround on this A-Frame pavement sign frame order?

On Standard it is made and handed to the courier within 5 working days; Express shortens that to 3 working days, Saver stretches it to 7 working days for less. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Is the price shown for this A-Frame pavement sign frame order the full price?

Yes, for the goods. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. Delivery, if any, is shown before you pay.

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 this A-Frame pavement sign frame 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 this A-Frame pavement sign frame order. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.

Asked by buyers

Do posters arrive in the box when I buy A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only, or only the frame?

You get frame only. Poster size: A1 or A2. Handy for a cafe or a church noticeboard: run one design on both faces, or give each face its own. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02. Nothing is charged until you check out, so feel free to try different options first.

How much will the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only set me back?

£91.02 is where the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only starts, set up as A2 · 420 × 594 mm and frame only on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

If I buy the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only are Express 3 working days, Standard 5 and Saver 7, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £91.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.

I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?

Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: 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). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes.

Am I allowed to stand this A-board outside on the public footpath?

Check with the council before it goes out. Pavements are public space, and many councils need a licence for A-boards, barriers and seating or restrict them, with outright bans in some streets. Whatever the rules, keep enough room for wheelchairs, prams and anyone with a visual impairment to pass safely. On land you own, such as a shop forecourt or a church car park, there is usually more freedom. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

Can a private person buy a single A-board?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £91.02, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £91.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.

How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?

From £123.60, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

Is there a minimum quantity for this A-board?

The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 10; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this A-board?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 3 working days to get the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £105.38 on the opening option rather than £91.02. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this A-board leaves us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3.

How do I pick the right number of different designs for the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only?

Choose one design for both faces, or a separate design for each face. For the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only the list runs 2 or 1. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for this A-board the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this A-board?

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.

Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for this A-board the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

Do cafes, restaurants and food businesses buy the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only from you?

Yes: the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only sits in our Food & Hospitality section, next to other things cafes, restaurants and food businesses buy for kitchens, counters and dining areas. Prices begin at £91.02. 2 sizes are listed, starting at A2 (420 × 594 mm). You can order from 1 up to 10. Also in that section: Potato Chipping Machine Sign and A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.

We have a school fair coming up. Would this A-board be suitable?

It works well fixed to railings, fencing, a gazebo or an easel. Outdoors, look at the fixings again if it turns windy. Order with enough time for the making and the courier before the event. You will also find this A-board in our Food & Hospitality section.

Would this A-board work for a small cafe, a church or a village shop?

It is made for exactly that sort of place. The posters slide in and out of the frame, so this week's specials, the jumble sale date or new opening hours are easy to change. Each face can carry its own design if you like. If it will stand on a public pavement, check with your council first and leave a clear path for people to get by. You will also find this A-board in our Food & Hospitality section.

How easy is it to swap the poster in my A-board?

Very. The frame just holds the posters, so changing them takes a minute. You can buy replacement A-board posters on their own later. A tip for a busy shop or a church with weekly events: order a small batch of designs in one go and swap them as the week or season moves on. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Should I get the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only, or would Forecourt Pavement Signs suit me better?

Comparing the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only with Forecourt Pavement Signs, this is what changes. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 2 on the other, the smallest A1 (594 × 841 mm). Opening price: £91.02 on this page and £41.38 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 the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only and A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs differ?

Comparing the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only with A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs, this is what changes. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on the other. Opening price: £91.02 on this page and £174.81 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.

How would I decide between A-Frame Replacement Posters and A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only?

Comparing the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only with A-Frame Replacement Posters, this is what changes. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 2 on the other, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm). Opening price: £91.02 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.

Next year we will want the same A-board again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

Our club needs a big batch of A-boards, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.

Can I swap my file once I have paid?

It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Who looks after me once I have bought the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only?

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this A-board is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Can I change the includes on the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only?

Choose whether you want the printed graphic alone, the frame alone, or the two together. On the A-Frame Pavement Sign Frame Only there is no choice to make: frame only comes as standard. Your size, quantity and turnaround settle the final figure.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Can I send this A-board back if I no longer need it?

Not for a change of mind. This A-board is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.

I am not sure which options to pick for this A-board. Can someone advise me?

Of course. Tell us three things: where this A-board will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this A-board costs from £91.02.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Make the artwork for this A-board the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this A-board go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
