Home » Outdoor Signs » Sidewalk Signs
Sidewalk signs stand outside your door and tell people walking by what is inside today. We print and build custom sidewalk signs for New Jersey shops, cafes, real estate offices and events: metal A frames, plastic sandwich boards, water base signs and sidewalk cafe barriers. Faces are printed in our Linden shop, and the frames take new faces when your message changes. Pick up at our shop, or we deliver. We also work in the five boroughs. See our NYC service area.




Specials change and sales end. With a custom sidewalk sign from us, the frame stays and only the printed face changes.

Straight answers to what New Jersey businesses ask about sidewalk signs.
Another name for an A frame sidewalk sign: two faces hinged at the top that stand on the sidewalk like a tent.
Faces of 24 x 36 in are the most common size we make. Other sizes are made to order.
Yes. Order new faces and swap them into the same frame. Many shops keep a spare set for specials.
Most are. Both faces can match, or each side can say something different.
Any sidewalk sign can tip in strong wind. Metal frames are heavier, and water base signs are made for windy spots. Bring signs in during storms.
Rules vary by town. Some allow sidewalk signs with no permit, and some ask for one or limit where they stand. Check with your town, and we can help with drawings if they ask for them.
Yes. Pick up at our Linden shop, or we deliver.
It depends on the frame, the size, the face material, one or two sides and how many you need. Send your art and the count for a price.
