Yes, You Can Use an A-Frame Sandwich Board Sign as a Whiteboard

We recently received an order from Auckland Search & Rescue, who needed a flexible and visible way to update messages in real-time. They chose an A-frame sandwich board sign from our store. Using a Canva template, they created a clean and simple design. Once they shared the template link with us, we made a quick modification to leave part of the board blank. This allows them to write custom messages directly onto the board whenever needed.

A-Frame Signs That Work Like Whiteboards

Yes, your A-frame sandwich board sign can double as a whiteboard. Our panels are made from ACM (Aluminium Composite Material), which provides a smooth surface that’s perfect for writing with a dry-erase marker. Whether you're updating instructions, promotions, or event information, just use an Expo dry erase marker and wipe it clean with isopropyl alcohol or board cleaner. It’s that easy.

Why This Matters for Businesses and Nonprofits

Compared to traditional pavement signs, retail signage, or printed advertising boards, a rewritable footpath sign offers unmatched convenience. You don’t have to reprint or replace signs—just erase and update. This saves time and reduces recurring signage costs.
