FAQ's

Q. What is the difference between an Evarite A-frame and a corflute A-frame?

Evarite A-frames are made from high-impact plastic and are designed for repeated, long-term use in demanding environments. Corflute A-frames are lightweight and cost-effective, making them ideal for temporary or single-use applications. Both are available with custom printing.

Q. Can I get custom printing on any portable sign?

Yes. All of our portable signage, A-frames, bollard covers, swinger signs, toblerone signs, and corflute inserts, are available with full colour custom printing. Provide your artwork or brief our team to design it for you.

Q. Are your portable signs suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Our portable signage range includes options specifically designed for outdoor use, including weather-resistant materials and UV-stable inks. Swinger signs, Evarite A-frames, and corflute bollard covers are all suitable for outdoor applications.

Q. Can I order replacement inserts for my existing A-frame portrait or landscape frame?

Yes. We produce custom corflute inserts to fit standard A-frame formats. If you have an existing frame and need new or updated inserts, contact us with your frame dimensions and we'll produce inserts to fit.

Q. How do I know which portable sign type is right for my application?

The right portable sign depends on your environment, how often it will be moved and the level of durability required. For temporary or single-use applications, corflute A-frames and inserts are the most cost-effective option. For high-use, outdoor, or demanding environments, Evarite or metal A-frames offer greater durability. For road safety and traffic management, swinger signs are purpose-built for the job. For floor-level communication in retail or hospitality, toblerone signs provide stable, multi-directional visibility. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll recommend the right format for your site.
