If you're a business owner looking to attract foot traffic, promote your products, or direct customers to your storefront, sidewalk signs—also known as footpath signs—are a powerful and cost-effective solution. In this guide, we’ll explain the different types of outdoor signage available in New Zealand, how to choose the right one for your business, and why our range of footpath signs NZ are trusted by retailers, event organisers, and service providers nationwide.
Types of Sidewalk Signs We Offer
At aframefootpathsign.co.nz, we offer three main categories of sidewalk signs (also known as outdoor signs):
- A-Frame Signs (Sandwich Boards): Classic foldable signs, available in two sizes: 600x900mm and 800x1200mm. Choose from ACM or Corflute board options.
- Footpath Signs: Single-panel signs with weighted bases, designed to stay upright in windy conditions. Ideal for street presence.
- Corflute Sign Holders: Affordable and lightweight holders perfect for temporary promotions or interchangeable signage.
These signs are sometimes referred to interchangeably as a-frame signs, sandwich board signs, or foot path signs—but they each serve unique purposes.
Why Choose A-Frame Sandwich Boards?
Sandwich board signs (also known as a-frame signs) are portable, easy to store, and perfect for:
- Restaurants and cafes promoting daily specials
- Retail shops advertising sales and promotions
- Events directing guests or volunteers
With two display panels, you get double the visibility—making them one of the most effective foot path signs available.
Footpath Signs for NZ Conditions
Our footpath signs NZ are designed for outdoor durability. With sturdy ACM panels or heavy-duty bases, they stand strong against New Zealand’s windy weather. If you're looking for a signage solution that won’t blow over, this is your go-to option.
We even had a customer in Mangawhai whose footpath sign survived a tornado—and still looked great!
Corflute Sign Holders: Flexible & Budget-Friendly
If you're running frequent promotions or events, our corflute sign holders are ideal. They let you easily swap out custom-printed corflute signs—great for real estate agents, weekend markets, or pop-up stalls.
Order new inserts when needed and reuse the frame, keeping your signage up-to-date and affordable.
