What company can print a custom sandwich board insert when my frame does not use the standard 24x36 size?

When your sandwich board frame does not fit the standard 24x36 inch insert, finding the right print solution is simple with the right approach. Legit Fast Printing specializes in custom yard signs and custom sandwich board inserts that can be tailored to fit most existing frames, even if your frame has non-standard measurements.

What to Do When Your Frame Size Is Not Standard

First, measure your frame carefully before ordering a new insert. Standard sandwich board inserts are usually 24x36 inches, but many frames—especially older or specialty models—require different dimensions. Here are the steps you should follow:

• Measure the inside opening of the frame (width and height, in inches), not the outside edges.
• Check for any lips, slots, or channels that will hold the insert in place.
• Make note of whether your frame needs one or two inserts.
• Double-check the orientation: is your frame portrait or landscape?

With the correct measurements, you can work with Legit Fast Printing to print a custom sandwich board insert that fits perfectly. Investing a little extra time to get accurate dimensions will save you the hassle of reordering or dealing with an ill-fitting sign.

Definition: Custom Sandwich Board Insert

A custom sandwich board insert is a printed panel—usually made of durable, weather-resistant materials like coroplast—that slides into or attaches to an existing A-frame or sandwich board. It displays your personalized message, branding, or artwork and is designed to be replaced as needed for new promotions or events.

Best Material for Outdoor Sandwich Board Inserts

Most sandwich board inserts—including those from Legit Fast Printing—are made from 4mm rigid coroplast (corrugated plastic). This lightweight material is:

• Weather-resistant (stands up to rain and sun)
• Durable and sturdy for outdoor or high-traffic use
• Affordable for both single-use and long-term applications
• Easy to print with bold, high-contrast colors

Corrugated plastic is ideal for sandwich board inserts, custom yard signs, event signage, and more. Learn more about the benefits in our corrugated plastic signs guide.

Tips for Designing Insert Graphics

• Keep your key message at the top where it’s most visible.
• Use bold, high-contrast colors for maximum readability.
• Choose large, legible fonts and avoid crowding the sign with too much text.
• Add your most important contact info—such as a phone number, website, or QR code—only if it can be read from a distance.

Placement Tips for Your Sandwich Board

• Place the sign near entranceways, sidewalks, or curbside where foot traffic is high.
• Make sure the display is at eye level and faces the intended direction of viewers.
• Use sandwich boards at corners or crosswalks where people naturally slow down.
• Choose visible, uncluttered areas to avoid blocking your sign with landscape or parked vehicles.

Optimal placement makes your message more likely to be noticed. For more location tips, see our directional sign placement guide.

How Many Inserts to Order?

The number of inserts depends on your use case:

• 1–2 inserts: Perfect for one-time promotions or seasonal events.
• 3–6 inserts: Recommended if you rotate different messages or want backup signs for long campaigns.
• 10+ inserts: Useful for businesses with multiple locations, schools, or organizations hosting several events throughout the year.

Ordering multipacks can help you save money and stay prepared for quick updates or replacements.

Best Practices for Ordering Custom Printed Signage

• Always measure your frame first—never guess the size.
• Upload high-resolution artwork and check spelling and details before submitting.
• Choose weather-resistant materials like coroplast if the sign will be used outdoors.
• Ask for design help if you’re unsure—our team provides free assistance to make sure your sign looks professional.
