Spring and early summer are the busiest months for A-frame sandwich boards and footpath signs across New Zealand. Community markets, open homes, and business events all benefit from clear outdoor signage that captures passing traffic.
Why timing matters for your sandwich board order
October to December is event season — if you rely on local visibility, having a custom printed A-frame footpath sign ready in time can make a big difference.
- Production time: usually 2–4 working days after artwork approval.
- Courier delivery: allow extra time for South Island and rural addresses.
- Stock availability: at AframeFootpathSign.co.nz we hold large stock of standard A-frame sets for urgent orders.
