Which printer can make double-sided sandwich board inserts with a different promotion on each side?
Getting a double-sided sandwich board insert with a different promotion on each side is a common need for businesses, event organizers, schools, and anyone who wants to attract attention from two directions at once. Many people assume you need a special “double-sided printer,” but that is not the case for sign inserts. Instead, you need a sign printing company that specializes in rigid, outdoor-grade materials and can handle custom artwork for both sides of your board.
Legit Fast Printing is a leading provider of custom yard signs and printed signage, making it easy to order sandwich board inserts for A-frame displays. Whether you need different messages on each side or just want fast, professional results, our team is equipped to help.
Definition: Double-Sided Sandwich Board Inserts
Double-sided sandwich board inserts are sturdy, removable panels—usually made from corrugated plastic (coroplast)—that fit into an A-frame or sandwich board sign. Each side can display unique artwork, allowing you to promote two different messages to people coming from opposite directions.
How to Order Double-Sided Sandwich Board Inserts With Different Promotions
You do not need to buy or operate a special printer. Instead, follow these steps to order double-sided inserts with two separate promotions for your business, event, or campaign:
- Measure your sandwich board frame. The most popular size is 24x36 inches—the standard for sidewalks, storefronts, and school entrances.
- Decide if you want:
- Two single-sided inserts (each with a different promotion, placed back-to-back in the frame), or
- One double-sided insert (printed on both sides, with different messages).
- Create high-resolution artwork files for each side. Prepare separate designs for each promotion.
- Visit Legit Fast Printing and upload your files to the Custom 24x36" A Frame Insert for Sandwich Board Signs product page.
- If you want both promotions on one insert, email us for a custom quote or note this in your order. We can print each side with different artwork, so you can flip the panel or display it split-screen style.
Material and Size: What to Choose
- Corrugated plastic (coroplast) is recommended. It is lightweight, weather-resistant, and ideal for frequent outdoor use, as detailed in our corrugated plastic signs guide.
- Standard size: 24x36 inches. Always check your frame for the right fit before ordering. Legit Fast Printing's inserts are made to fit most sandwich board frames used by retailers, schools, and real estate offices.
Designing Each Side: Actionable Tips
Each side of your A-frame sign can target a different audience. Here's how to design for maximum impact:
- Use bold, contrasting colors to make your message stand out, even from a distance.
- Choose large, clean fonts. Your message should be readable in seconds, even by someone driving by.
- Keep it short and simple. Focus on one main offer or action per side. For example: "Lunch Menu" on one side, "Happy Hour Specials" on the other.
- Include a clear call to action. Examples: "Call Now," "Order Online," or "Open House Today."
- Use high-resolution artwork. Our print process gives the best results when files are crisp and free from pixelation.

Quantity Recommendations
- Single storefront/small business: Order two inserts (one for each side of your frame) or one double-sided insert. Add extras if you want seasonal rotations or backup signage.
- Multiple entrances/large events: At least two inserts per entrance. For example, a church or school with three doors should plan on ordering at least six inserts.
- Campaigns or promotions: Consider our multi-pack options. Packs of four, six, or ten are available—ideal for coordinated sidewalk campaigns or distributed locations.
Where to Place Your Double-Sided Sandwich Board Sign
- At busy sidewalk corners, so pedestrians see your promotion from either direction.
- At building entrances, using a different offer to attract people entering or leaving.
- Outside schools, churches, or event venues, guiding people with directions or welcoming messages on both approaches.

Best Practices for Ordering Custom Sandwich Board Inserts
- Check frame compatibility before ordering. Measure the opening to confirm a 24x36 insert will fit.
- Use weather-resistant materials. Corrugated plastic is an excellent choice for outdoor conditions.
- Proof your design for spelling, contact info, and contrast. High contrast between background and text is critical for fast readability.
- Take advantage of Legit Fast Printing’s free design help if you are unsure how to prepare files. Our team can ensure your messaging pops.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use an office printer to make my own sandwich board inserts?
No. Standard office or duplex printers can only print on regular paper or thin cardstock. They cannot handle rigid, weather-resistant materials like coroplast at full 24x36 inch size.
What is the best material for lasting, reusable inserts?
Corrugated plastic (coroplast) is highly recommended. It resists rain, sun, and fading, and it is lightweight for easy swapping in and out of your sign frame.
Can I have a different promotion on each side?
Yes. You can either order two single-sided inserts (one for each side) or request custom double-sided printing on a single insert. Both options allow for unique artwork on every face.
Do I need “double-sided” printing, or is two single-sided inserts better?
Many customers find ordering two single-sided inserts gives the most flexibility. You can swap out only one side as your promotions change, or mix and match as needed. Double-sided printing is best when you want to flip one panel for quick message changes.
How do I prepare my files?
Send separate high-resolution files for each side. Use 24x36 inch dimensions and leave a small bleed area if possible. If you need design help, our team can assist at no charge.
How many inserts should I order?
Order one or two for a single sign. Larger locations or recurring promotions may benefit from multiples or a multi-pack. We offer quantity options to fit your needs.
How fast can I get my inserts?
We are known for quick production and shipping. Many customers receive orders within days, especially when files are print ready. For details, see Yard Sign Production Time vs Shipping Time.
