Overview
A frame pavement sign printing puts your offer right in the path of people walking past. A café sets one out at 7am with the breakfast deal. A barber shows walk-in times. An estate agent stands one at the end of the road on an open house Saturday. It goes out in the morning and comes back in at closing time.
One design or two?
Every frame holds two posters, one on each face. Use the same design on both for a single clear message, or pick 2 different designs: coffee deals on one side and the lunch menu on the other, or one face aimed at people coming from the station and the other at the high street crowd.
A2 or A1
A2 is the tidy size for a narrow pavement or a doorway where you must not block the path. A1 is the bigger board, easier to read from across the street. Order from 1 to 10 frames; a shop on a corner might want two, one for each approach.
A frame pavement sign printing and the council
Before a board goes on the public pavement, check your council's rules on A-boards, as some ask for permission or limit where boards can stand. The sign itself counts as an outdoor advert under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Many small signs outside a business need no application, but your council can confirm for your street.
Artwork, timing and delivery
Big headline, few words, strong contrast: pavement boards are read in passing. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service; a person checks every uploaded file for free, and the artwork guidelines cover bleed. Standard production is 5 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, express from 3, saver 7. Made to order and dispatched from the UK; UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts (see delivery). Compare other pavement signs.

Questions
Quick answers about a frame pavement sign printing.
Can I just put an A-board outside my shop, or do I need the council's say so?
Ask the council first. Plenty of councils either license boards standing on public pavements or limit where they can stand, and the rules differ from one area to the next.
Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?
No. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £117.99 starting price for your A-Frame pavement sign order is the full price of the goods. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
How fast can I have my A-Frame pavement sign 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. Courier delivery follows in 1 to 3 working days. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
What can I choose when ordering an A-Frame pavement sign?
You can set 2 sizes from A2 (420 × 594 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm), includes (frame with 2 posters) and number of different designs (1 or 2). The price updates with each choice, so you can compare before paying.
How big do these come?
Choose A2 (420 × 594 mm) or A1 (594 × 841 mm). Measure your space first so your A-Frame pavement sign fits. Prices start at £117.99 and change with the size you pick.
Who handles my 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. Questions along the way? The question box on this page reaches a person.
Asked by buyers
Do posters arrive in the box when I buy A-Frame Pavement Signs, or only the frame?
The posters for this one are A1 or A2. 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
How cheaply can I get hold of A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Picked the way the page first loads, with A2 · 420 × 594 mm and frame with 2 posters, A-Frame Pavement Signs come to £117.99. 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 £117.99 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Allow 7 working days on Saver, 5 on Standard or 3 on Express before 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 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 £117.99 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 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. On this page, A-Frame Pavement Signs start from £117.99.
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 A2 (420 × 594 mm).
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. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £117.99.
And the largest A-board, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?
From £174.81, 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
How many 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. Sizes for these A-boards go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each A-board is made to order for you.
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 A-Frame Pavement Signs begin at £117.99, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. At £117.99 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
Our event is close. Can A-Frame Pavement Signs be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and A-Frame Pavement Signs can be on the way in 3 working days on the opening option, for £136.62, where Saver is £117.99 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.
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 £117.99.
Can you explain the number of different designs setting for 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. 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.
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. Sizes for these A-boards go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Can I send a Word or Canva file for 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. Sizes for these A-boards go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
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 A2 (420 × 594 mm).
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 or A2 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.
Would 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: A-Frame Pavement Signs are listed there. Prices begin at £117.99; 2 sizes are listed, starting at A2 (420 × 594 mm); you can order from 1 up to 10. People buying for that kind of work often add Disabled Toilets Sign or Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
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 £117.99.
Should I get A-Frame Pavement Signs, or would A-Frame Replacement Posters suit me better?
Set A-Frame Pavement Signs beside A-Frame Replacement Posters and a few things differ. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 2 on the other, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm). Opening price: £117.99 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 A-Frame Pavement Signs and Forecourt Pavement Signs differ?
Set A-Frame Pavement Signs beside Forecourt Pavement Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 2 on the other, the smallest A1 (594 × 841 mm). Opening price: £117.99 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.
How would I decide between A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs and A-Frame Pavement Signs?
Set A-Frame Pavement Signs beside A1 A-Frame Pavement Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on the other. Opening price: £117.99 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.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding 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.
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. Sizes for these A-boards go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
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. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £117.99.
Who looks after me once I have bought 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 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.
I am ordering these A-boards for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?
No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £117.99.
Which includes is used on 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. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £117.99.
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 £117.99.
Next year we will want the same A-board again. Is reordering easy?
Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Designed it online? The print PDF from your first paid order stays in My Account and in the confirmation email, so you can reuse it. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Before delivery, these A-boards cost from £117.99.
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. Sizes for these A-boards go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 2 in all.
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. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order A-Frame Pavement Signs. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. If you would rather make it yourself, the online designer checks the technical side as you go. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
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 A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Can I design these A-boards first and show the committee before we pay?
You can. Designing online costs nothing until you order, so make a draft, show it to the group and tweak it as often as you like. The on-screen watermark is only there on the preview and is never printed. The designer flags things like small text or low-resolution photos as you go, but it cannot catch a wrong date, so have a second person read it. Make the artwork for these A-boards the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
