More Information
Don't confuse our 20" x 30" A board outdoor pavement sign with cheap imitations. It might be a budget price, but when it comes to quality it is streets ahead. Before we chose this snap shut A board we tested over a dozen similar designs to make sure we deliver the very best value for money. The difference between this and lower quality A boards is quite substantial. In this version the aluminum is thicker, the hinges are stronger, it has more springs to make sure your posters stay in place and has a metal backboard for extra durability.

Don't forget to add posters if you require them. As well as custom printing with your supplied design, we also offer an in house poster design service at very competitive prices. As well as displaying posters, you can get more from your A board by choosing a chalk board insert for those last minute special offers, seasonal sales or menu changes.

If you would like help choosing a pavement sign please call one of our display advisors on 020 8664 5660. No hard sell, just straightforward helpful advice on how to get the best value from your display budget.

First Class Customer Service
The products were fabulous, as always (A boards and posters), but it was the fantastic customer service that really stood out. The delivery of my items was so fast (straight after Christmas shut down too) and the communication all through the process was first class. Thankyou so much for making this purchase completely stress-free.

Very good quality
This was to replace signs we bought from Discount Displays five years ago, which have had regular weekly use at our church. We did a like-for-like replacement of two A-frames but decided to upgrade to the premium product for our two roller banners. Unfortunately we were sent the same economy roller banners as before. On reporting the issue, we had a friendly and apologetic response, but only one new roller banner was sent out. They needed chasing for the second. All in all, it was worth the wait as the quality is very good, and despite the issues I would be happy to use the company again.

Web page, delivery and product all top notch..
I ordered the A board for our local village hall as they'd asked me to paint a couple of old sheets of chip board with advertising for a village cafe ... Which would have looked naff ... This A board was delivered promptly on time and although it cost me a little more than I could really afford it looks amazing

Very Good Pavement Sign
First order from Discount Displays, was delivered within a few days and was well packaged. Appears to be well constructed, has been outside all day every day for the last 2 months and handling the weather well! The graphics are vibrant with no issues on the printing front. Again the material seems to be high quality in terms of thickness and feel. Overall pleased with the purchase, and definitely a good upgrade from my previous sign.

Artwork

Whether you're a novice or a professional when it comes to artwork, we're here to give you the guidance needed to make sure your end result is print perfect.

I don't have print ready artwork, can you design it for me?

If you have the elements, such as text, logos, and text, we can take these and create a print ready design layout for you at a small additional cost. We have a number of affordable set price packages available to suit any requirements. Many of our products have a design service as an additional extra for instant ordering. For products that don't please contact us to discuss your brief. Visit our in-house design service page to find out more.

I will be supplying print ready artwork.

Many of our print products have the option to upload your artwork on the product page. If that option is not available, you will receive an email shortly after placing your order with instructions on how to send your artwork files.

In order to avoid any delays in production, please follow our guidelines below to make sure your artwork is ready to go. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch to talk to one of our team.

Resolution - 100dpi At Full Size

Generally, 100 dpi is a good standard for images with the document size set at full size of the large format printed product. For example, if you want to order a 40"×60" print, the image size should be 4000 pixels (40 x 100) by 6000 pixels (60 x 100) at 100 dpi.

100% scale at 100 dpi
50% scale at 200 dpi
25% scale at 400 dpi
10% scale at 1000 dpi

If any dimension of the product is greater than 5000mm, please produce the artwork to scale. For very large artwork such as hoarding walls, 10% scale can be utilised at 1000dpi for images, or use vectors as these will scale perfectly.

Bleed - 5mm All Around At The Final Print Size

If you are creating set size artwork for hardware then please use the product template. If you have ordered a custom size product please ensure you include 5mm of bleed on your design.

You only need to add print bleed to your artwork if the design extends to the edge of the page. If all of your text and images are in the centre of the design and are surrounded by a plain white background, you won’t need to worry about print bleed as the edges will blend seamlessly into your overall design. If any element of the design goes right up to the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed on all sides is necessary.

Instructional diagram for print design showing the process of adding a 5mm bleed to artwork for printing, with stages including initial layout with crop marks, designated trim line, and the final trimmed sign, emphasizing the necessity of bleed for designs extending to the page edge.

Colours - Please Supply All Colours As CMYK+

Computer screens use RGB, while printers use CMYK. You may ask why this matters? Most colours created in RGB can be closely matched in CMYK but some cannot. If colours are critical we always suggest ordering a printed proof.

Other things you can do to check your colours:

- Use a calibrated monitor (colours vary from monitor to monitor)
- Use a printed CMYK colour swatch to check your colours
- Don't check samples from a desktop printer
- Order a printed proof from us (this may cause an increase in lead time)

Fonts - Please Embed, Flatten, Or Convert To Curves

For large format print, we recommend that the minimum font site is 8pt (point size).

Our preferred file format for print-ready artwork is a PDF, please make sure you embed any fonts for perfect results. With other file formats please ensure fonts used in your design are converted to outlines and include all fonts and images used when you send your files to us.

Do You Need A Proof?

If you are providing print ready artwork, we do not provide a proof as standard, which enables us to get your print to you quicker. If you require a proof please get in touch with us to discuss. We do provide a free technical file check as standard, as outlined below.

We can provide a machine print proof for the extra cost of £25 plus delivery. This involves printing an A3 proof on the machine that will be used to produce your final print. This will give you an accurate representation of colour. If you are using our design service, we do send out a PDF proof, which is an accurate representation of content and positioning. It is not an exact indicator of the final colour due to the limitations of screens.

Quoted delivery dates for print are from approval of artwork, so please bear in mind that requesting a proof may delay the delivery date of your product.

Delivery

After you have placed your order a provisional despatch and delivery date will be sent to you via email.

Our standard delivery time for printed products is 2-5 working days after artwork has been approved for print. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to ensure we can meet this. Please check that your artwork meets the guidelines above to prevent any delays in approval.

Free Artwork Check

Before we go to print, we will carry out a free technical check on your artwork. If there are any issues, we will contact you to let you know what needs to be changed.

What's Included
What's Not Included
  • File format
  • File size
  • Resolution
  • Fonts
  • Colours
  • Spelling and Grammar Mistakes
  • Positioning

Colour Matching

Our printers and media are of the highest standard and are carefully calibrated to produce vibrant, full colour prints. The process involves CMYK printing and this means it is not always possible to match Pantone colours, but they will be converted to the nearest CMYK equivalent.

If exact colour matching is critical, please send us a physical copy of other printed material, such as a letterhead or brochure, and we will check your file prior to printing. If we cannot achieve a reasonable match we will call you to discuss.

Please send any physical examples to: Discount Displays, 31-35 Wortley Road, Croydon, Surrey, CRO 3EB.

FAQs
Q. Is this sign waterproof?
A. The sign itself is made from anodised aluminium and steel, this prevents damage in wet weather. Your posters are also protected from the elements with cover sheets included.

Q. Can you write on this with whiteboard pens?
A. This product is not suitable for use with whiteboard pens alone.

Q. My plastic protective sheets are damaged, can I buy replacements?
A. Yes. If you find your protective sheets are damaged or vandalised, then we offer replacement protective poster cover sheets

Q. Is there any way to stop the sign from blowing away in high winds?
A. We do not offer solutions for our pavement signs, but you may add sandbags or weights to the base of the sign. We also offer signs with fillable bases, these are designed for use in high winds outdoors for long periods of time and can be weighed down by filling with water or sand.

Q. Is the backboard metal?
A. Yes. The backboard is made from galvanised steel which is resistant to rusting.

Q. Is it double-sided?
A. Yes, you can choose to display one or two posters.

Q. Can you use it as a chalkboard?
A. This A board is designed to be used with posters, however, we do sell chalkboard inserts so you can use it as a traditional chalkboard sign as well.

Q. Will it stand up on a windy day?
A. This A board is designed to be light and easy to move around. For windy conditions, it is best to bring it in. Other designs such as swinging signs or signs with weighted bases are more suited to windy conditions.

Q. How do I change the posters?
A. Open the four sides on the snap frame. Remove the protective plastic cover and then insert the poster. Replace the cover, snap the frame closed and you're done.

Q. Do the posters need to be laminated?
A. Outdoor poster frames come with protective covers but we recommend that you opt for our special outdoor PVC posters for total weatherproof advertising.

Q. Do I need a tool to assemble it?
A. No, your A board will be delivered ready to use.
