Why Choose Custom Sandwich Boards?

Sandwich board signs combine visibility, portability, and reusable advertising space in one practical display. Place them where customers are most likely to see your message and reposition them whenever your advertising or event needs change.

Custom sandwich boards are ideal for:

• Storefront promotions and special offers
• Restaurants, cafés, and food-service businesses
• Trade shows and business events
• Schools and campus activities
• Real estate and open houses
• Conferences and conventions
• Directional and wayfinding signage
• Sales, grand openings, and announcements
• Community events and fundraisers

Adding your logo, brand colors, graphics, and message transforms a standard sign into a display tailored to your organization or event.

Custom Sandwich Board Sizes

Choosing the right sandwich board size depends on where the sign will be displayed, how much information you need to communicate, and how far away people need to read it.

For messages that need to be noticed from farther away, consider a larger board with bold lettering and simple graphics. For entrances and close-range viewing, a more compact option may provide all the space you need.

How to Choose the Right Custom Sandwich Board

Consider Where It Will Be Displayed

Start by deciding where people will encounter your sign. A sidewalk or storefront display may benefit from a larger, attention-grabbing design, while an indoor entrance or registration area may require something more compact.

Determine the Viewing Distance

The farther away your audience will be, the larger and simpler your message should generally be. Prioritize the most important information and use strong visual contrast for easy reading.

Decide What Your Sign Needs to Communicate

Sandwich boards can display:

• Business names and logos
• Sales and promotions
• Menus or featured items
• Event information
• Welcome messages
• Hours or announcements
• Directional arrows
• Calls to action

Keep the primary message short enough for people to understand quickly as they walk or drive past.

Create Your Design

Use your logo, brand colors, artwork, text, and other graphics to create a sandwich board that matches your business or event. Clear layouts with large text and strong contrast are typically easier to read.

Select the Size and Quantity

Choose the dimensions that best match your location and visibility requirements. Multiple signs can also be useful when directing visitors through larger venues, campuses, events, or facilities.

Custom Sandwich Boards for Businesses

A custom sandwich board for your business can turn sidewalk or entrance space into valuable advertising space.

Use your board to highlight:

• Today's specials
• New products or services
• Limited-time promotions
• Sales and discounts
• Business hours
• Grand openings
• Pickup or check-in instructions
• Upcoming events

Because sandwich boards can be repositioned, businesses can update where and how their message is displayed as traffic patterns, promotions, and events change.

Custom Sandwich Boards for Events

Sandwich boards are also useful for helping attendees navigate events and understand what is happening around them.

Use customized signs for:

• Event entrances
• Registration and check-in
• Parking directions
• Booth locations
• Schedules
• Welcome messages
• Sponsor recognition
• Food and beverage areas
• Restrooms and facilities

For larger events, using several coordinated signs can create a more consistent and easy-to-follow wayfinding system.

How to Design an Effective Sandwich Board Sign

A sandwich board only has a few seconds to capture someone's attention. Design it so the most important information can be understood quickly.

For better visibility:

• Use large, easy-to-read text
• Keep your main message short
• Place your logo where it is clearly visible
• Use contrasting colors between text and background
• Avoid overcrowding the design
• Emphasize one primary offer or message
• Include directional arrows when the sign is being used for wayfinding
• Add a clear call to action when appropriate

For example, “SALE – 25% OFF TODAY” will usually communicate faster than a long paragraph explaining the promotion.
