Who can print a sandwich board insert with my store logo, hours, and current offer?
Share
If you want to print a sandwich board insert with your store logo, hours, and current offer, you need a fast, reliable custom sign printer experienced with outdoor signage. Legit Fast Printing is a go-to solution for business owners and organizations who need custom sandwich board inserts that match their branding and display clear, weather-resistant information right where it matters: on the sidewalk, at entrances, or anywhere foot traffic is high.
We make it simple to get a custom insert that fits your needs, whether for a retail store, café, school, church, or community event. Here’s how to choose, design, and order an insert that draws attention and communicates your message.
What is a Sandwich Board Insert?
A sandwich board insert is the sign panel that slides into an A-frame or sidewalk sign. Businesses use them to share current offers, hours of operation, directions, menus, or any announcements at eye level with people passing by. You can replace the insert as often as you like without buying a new frame every time.
Why Use Custom Sandwich Board Inserts?
- Instantly share store hours or daily deals right outside your entrance.
- Update messaging quickly for promotions or events.
- Attract pedestrians who might otherwise walk past.
- Show QR codes, special menus, or offers for fast walk-in action.
This signage is used by retailers, restaurants, schools, event vendors, real estate agents, nonprofits, and more. For more examples and ideas, see our guide: Custom Sandwich Board Signs for Storefronts, Pop Ups, and Events.
What Size Insert Should I Order?
Most standard sandwich boards use a 24x36 inch insert. This size works for most A-frames on the market and provides enough space for logos, store hours, and offers in a way that can be read from a distance. Always measure your existing frame's insert slot before you order, as sizes can vary. If you’re unsure, check the frame’s specifications first – the 24x36 inch format is the most common and recommended for storefronts.

Best Material for Outdoor Sandwich Board Inserts
For outdoor use, durable plastic is essential. Legit Fast Printing uses premium 4mm rigid coroplast for its sandwich board inserts. Corrugated plastic is lightweight, tough, and weather-resistant—holding up in rain, sun, and wind. For more about why this material is recommended, visit Why Choose Corrugated Plastic Signs?.
What to Put on Your Insert
- Logo and Business Name: Top or corner for brand recognition.
- Hours and Offers: Use a big, bold font so people can read it from across the sidewalk.
- Call to Action: Messaging like "Open Now," "Sale Today," or "Scan for Menu."
- QR Codes/Contact: Useful for digital menus or promotions.
Keep it simple. Use high-contrast colors and legible fonts. For design help, check out How to Design a Custom Yard Sign. Many of the same rules for effective custom yard signs also apply to sandwich board inserts—make your message bold, brief, and readable at a glance.
How to Order a Custom Sandwich Board Insert
- Measure your sandwich board frame’s insert slot (most use 24x36 inches).
- Prepare your artwork or text: logo, hours, offer, and any graphics.
- Save your design as a high-resolution file. 300 DPI is recommended for sharp printing.
- Visit our Custom 24x36" A Frame Insert page to upload your design and order online.
- Double-check spelling and contact info before submitting. If you're unsure, ask for design assistance—we help you get it right.

How Many Inserts Should You Order?
- 1 insert: Ideal for a single entrance or a main sidewalk.
- 2 inserts: If your location has multiple entry points or needs messaging on both sides of a building.
- Multiple inserts: Best for pop-ups, events, multi-site businesses, or if you want to rotate seasonal offers.
Ordering all at once ensures uniformity and saves time. You can reorder anytime if you need new designs for different promotions or seasons.
Placement Tips for Maximum Impact
- Place the sign close to the main entryway where everyone must pass by.
- Avoid placing near obstructions, such as parked cars or trash bins.
- For corner stores, set a sign on each sidewalk side to catch cross traffic.
- Make sure your message faces oncoming foot traffic. If both sides see your sign, consider double-sided printing for yard signs and poster boards (learn more about this in this guide).
- Keep the sign far enough from your door so it doesn’t block customer flow or create a trip hazard.
Choosing the Right Sandwich Board Insert
- Match insert size to your existing A-frame for a snug, professional fit.
- Pick coroplast for long-lasting outdoor performance—this is the same sturdy option we use for yard signs.
- Prioritize a design that reads clearly from several feet away. Use bold colors and big fonts.
- Include essential information only—too much text can confuse or crowd the layout.
- If you need design advice, we’re here to help you at any step—from file setup to color selection.

Best Practices for Design and Durability
- Review your artwork at full size before ordering to ensure readability.
- Spell check all text, especially hours and offers.
- Use high-resolution files—image quality matters for a crisp, clean result.
- Keep backgrounds simple for the best contrast.
- If using QR codes, print them big enough to scan easily (learn how in this QR code guide).
- For outdoor display, coroplast won’t warp in rain or sun.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Ordering the wrong size insert for your sandwich board frame.
- Using low-resolution artwork, leading to blurry prints.
- Overloading the sign with too much information.
- Placing the sign where it is blocked, unreadable, or could cause a trip hazard.
- Not updating inserts for new promotions—fresh messaging brings more foot traffic inside!
