Ten A-frame styles priced live: Signflute, sandwich boards, Endurosign, real estate frames, chalkboards, Monsoon and expandable SEG. Sunshine Coast made, delivered Australia-wide.
An A-frame is the cheapest way to turn footpath traffic into people walking through your door. Choose a style above and the price appears with GST and standard delivery Australia-wide included.
The choice is not really about the print, it is about the frame. Some styles are built to have the message swapped every week, some are built to be left out in the weather for years, and some are built to be picked up and moved twenty times a day. Getting that wrong is the difference between a sign that works and one that lives in the store room.
| Style | From | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Insertable sandwich board | $109 | Cheapest way in. Slide a new printed panel in when the message changes |
| Signflute A-frame | $113 | The classic printed corflute frame. Light, simple, best value |
| Endurosign A-frame | $145 | Heavier duty, built to be left outside |
| Evarite real estate A-frame | $145 | Purpose-built for open homes and auctions |
| Real estate A-frame, insertable | $153 | Same job, but you swap the panel per property |
| Snap A-frame, A1 | $156 | Snap-open edges. Change a poster in seconds without tools |
| Monsoon A-frame | $171 | Water-filled base. The one that stays upright in wind |
| Expandable SEG A-frame | $201 | Tensioned fabric graphic, seamless and premium looking |
| Metal A-frame, laminated print | $282 | Rigid metal frame for permanent daily use |
| A-frame chalkboard | $330 | Write it yourself, change it daily. Cafes and bars |
If the message never changes — your name, what you sell, an arrow — take the Signflute A-frame at $113. The print is part of the panel, it is the lightest to carry in and out, and it is the cheapest thing here that still looks professional.
If the message changes weekly, buy an insertable. The frame stays, and you reprint a panel for a fraction of a whole new sign. Sandwich boards and the insertable real estate frames both work this way.
If the message changes daily, you want the Snap A-frame or the chalkboard. Snap edges flip open so a new poster goes in without tools, and a chalkboard means you write today's coffee special yourself at 7am.
If it lives outside on a windy corner, take the Monsoon. The base fills with water, and a weighted base is the only thing that reliably stops an A-frame walking across a footpath in a southerly. On the Sunshine Coast that is most afternoons somewhere.
If it is going out and in every single day, spend on the metal frame or the Endurosign. Cheap hinges are what fail first, long before the print does.
If it needs to look premium — a gallery, a wedding venue, a high-end retailer — the expandable SEG frame takes a tensioned fabric graphic with no visible edges, hardware or shine.
Today's specials, coffee brand, open now. Chalkboards win here because the message changes with the weather and the menu.
Open home and auction directional signs, out on the corner on a Saturday morning and back in the boot by midday. Insertable frames suit an agent working multiple properties.
Sale signage and footpath presence for a shop set back from the street. Often the only thing telling people you exist.
New member offers, walk-ins welcome, opening hours. Usually a snap frame so the offer can change monthly.
Site access, parking and safety direction. Endurosign or metal, because a site is hard on hardware.
Parking, entry, registration and wayfinding. Buy a set of Signflute frames and reuse them every year.
Snap frames and insertable styles hide a few millimetres of the panel edge under the frame, so each style has its own visible area. Tell us which style you are ordering and we will send the exact template rather than a generic one.
Already own the frames? Ask us to quote inserts or replacement panels on their own. Reprinting a panel is a fraction of the cost of a new A-frame, and it is the reason the insertable styles pay for themselves in a year.
Match the frame to how often the message changes. Never changes, take the Signflute at $113. Changes weekly, take an insertable so you only reprint the panel. Changes daily, take a snap frame or a chalkboard. Lives on a windy corner, take the water-filled Monsoon. Goes out and in every day, spend on the metal or Endurosign frame, because hinges fail long before print does.
Yes, and on the insertable and snap styles that is the whole point. Tell us which frame you own and we will quote replacement panels on their own. A reprint is a fraction of the cost of a new A-frame.
The printed panels and frames are built for outdoor use, but nothing survives being left out permanently as well as it survives being brought in at night. That habit is the main reason some frames last five years and others last one.
Insertable sandwich boards start at $109 and the classic Signflute A-frame at $113, both including GST and delivery. Endurosign and real estate frames start at $145, snap frames $156, the water-filled Monsoon $171, expandable SEG $201, metal frames $282 and chalkboards $330.
The Monsoon, because the base fills with water. A weighted base is the only thing that reliably stops an A-frame walking across a footpath in a strong afternoon southerly. Sandbags or a strap to something solid work on other styles.
Most Queensland councils, Sunshine Coast Council included, have rules about footpath signage covering how far from your frontage a sign may sit and how much clear footpath has to remain. Check with your council before buying the largest frame, because the rules usually govern size and placement rather than the sign itself.
Yes. People walk past from both directions, and a blank back is half a sign for very little extra cost. It is the cheapest upgrade on this page.
SEG stands for silicone edge graphic. The printed fabric has a thin silicone strip sewn into its edge that presses into a channel in the frame, so the graphic sits perfectly flat with no visible hardware, no shine and no edges. It is the premium look, and the fabric graphic is easy to swap later.
On the Signflute the print is part of the corflute panel, so the whole sign is one piece and it is the lightest to carry. The sandwich board holds a separate panel that slides in, so the frame stays and you replace only the printed insert when the message changes.
Yes. Send your logo and what you want it to say, and we will lay it out and send a proof. If you are designing it yourself, tell us the style you are ordering and we will send the exact template, because snap and insertable frames hide a few millimetres of the panel edge.
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days from artwork approval, then delivery. Every effort is made to get your job onto the press for the dispatch shown. On the odd occasion a press or freight delay pushes it out, and we will tell you as soon as we know.
Yes, and standard delivery is already in the prices on this page. We are based at Baringa on the Sunshine Coast and often run local deliveries ourselves.
Real estate, builders and event boards on 3mm or 5mm corflute, any size.
Premium rigid ACM signage that stays flat and lasts years outdoors.
Economy to premium bases with vivid print. Includes padded carry bag.
