A pavement board is usually seen from both directions, so double-sided is the better buy for most shops. Single-sided suits boards placed flat against a wall or in a doorway, where only one face is visible.
Both faces take any poster of the same size, so you can run a menu on one side and an offer on the other.
Send your artwork as a print-ready PDF at A1 or A2 with 3mm bleed, fonts outlined and images embedded. Keep text at least 25mm in from the edge, because the snap frame covers the outer border.
Need something designed? Our in-house team will set up your poster free of charge and send a proof before anything is printed. Extra posters can be ordered at any time, so seasonal menus and offers are easy to keep fresh.
Stand the board on firm, level paving with both legs fully opened and locked
Bring it in when wind speeds pick up beyond a stiff breeze, and always overnight
Wipe the frame and poster with a soft damp cloth; avoid solvents
Check your council’s rules on pavement obstructions before placing a board on the public highway

Flip open the four sides of the snap frame, swap the poster and click the frame shut. It takes less than a minute and no tools.
A1 is the standard high street size and is readable from across the road. A2 is lighter and better for narrow pavements, doorways and indoor use.
The steel back panels give it weight, but any A-board will move in strong gusts. For exposed sites, our spring poster frame and spring tube display have water-filled bases and springs that flex in the wind.
Yes. Call or email us with the size and quantity and we will print replacement posters on their own.
