How 4Square Red Beach Chose the Right Footpath Sign for Their Windy Location – A Guide for Retailers

How 4Square Red Beach Chose the Right Footpath Sign for Their Windy Location – A Guide for Retailers

This month, we received an exciting order from the 4Square Red Beach branch, a well-known supermarket chain based in the Auckland region. Earlier in the month, another 4Square branch had purchased two A-frame sandwich board signs with corflute panels for their rotating promotional campaigns. They used 4 different custom designs to swap in and out, depending on their promotion of the week—simple, cost-effective, and eye-catching. They were extremely happy with the quality and versatility of our signage products.

This time, however, the Red Beach branch faced a different challenge—wind. Being in a coastal area, windy conditions are common, so this team opted for a more durable option: the A-frame sandwich board sign with 5mm ACM panels. At 15kg, these ACM footpath signs offer much better stability outdoors while still delivering strong visibility for their ANZAC Day and Easter promotions.

To ensure timely delivery, we prioritised their order and dispatched it within 2 working days—just in time for their Easter sales.


How to Choose the Right Footpath Sign or Sandwich Board for Your Business

Whether you're a retail shop, franchise, hospitality venue, or local service provider, having the right footpath signage can make a big difference. But with options like corflute sign holders, sandwich board signs with interchangeable panels, or full ACM panel footpath signs, how do you choose?

1. Weather Conditions & Durability

If your business is located in a high-wind area like Auckland’s coast or Christchurch, we recommend footpath signs with ACM panels. These outdoor signage boards are heavier, more stable, and long-lasting—perfect for New Zealand's variable weather.

For calmer locations or indoor/outdoor flexibility, A-frame signs with corflute panels are a great budget-friendly choice. You can easily change designs to suit different sales or events, and store extra panels for reuse.

You can also consider lightweight corflute sign holders if you’re after a portable and economical solution.

2. Convenience, Speed & Customer Support

We make it easy to get your pavement signs and sandwich board signs delivered fast, anywhere in New Zealand. Whether you’re in Whangarei, Christchurch, or Auckland, just enter your address at checkout and courier costs will appear instantly.
