Not every business has the luxury of wide footpaths or outdoor frontage, yet the need for effective outdoor signage remains essential. One of our recent customers, a cafe owner, came in looking for signage options. However, unlike most cafes that typically go for a large A-frame sandwich board sign (1200x800), standard A-frame sandwich board (900x600), or footpath signs (800x600), this cafe had limited space. Their only option was a narrow strip of grass beside their entrance, which made them think outside the box.
Instead of the traditional footpath sign, they opted for several corflute sign holders. These lightweight, budget-friendly outdoor signage solutions gave them the flexibility to place signage in the grassy area—drawing the attention of foot traffic and passing vehicles.
This example highlights an important lesson: choosing the right sidewalk signs, pavement signs, or advertising boards depends entirely on your space and marketing needs. Here’s how to decide which type of footpath sign is right for your business.
1. Assess Your Space and Foot Traffic
Before choosing a sandwich board or footpath sign, take a moment to look at your outdoor space. Do you have a wide footpath? Is it flat or uneven? Is there grass, gravel, or concrete?
- For businesses with ample room: Go for a large A-frame sandwich board sign (1200x800).
- For tighter areas: A standard sandwich board (900x600) or footpath sign with custom printed ACM panel may be a better fit.
- For very limited or uneven space: Try using a corflute sign holder.
2. Pick the Right Sign Type Based on Budget and Flexibility

- A-frame footpath signs: Ideal for cafes, retail stores, and events. They fold easily, are sturdy, and have great visibility.
