Handle Cut-Outs

Every outdoor A-board includes handle cut-outs as standard for easy carrying and repositioning. If you would prefer boards without handle cut-outs, simply ignore or delete those guide lines in the artwork template and let us know when ordering — this does not affect the cost.

Outdoor Use — Important Notes

When using A-boards outdoors, we strongly recommend either weighing down the base section or pegging the board into the ground to prevent the board from being blown over in wind. Weights and pegs are not supplied and should be sourced separately. For permanent or long-term outdoor signage, consider our Correx boards or aluminium composite signs for a more durable solution.

Who Is It For?

Outdoor A-boards are popular with cafes, restaurants, bars, retailers, estate agents, event organisers, market traders and businesses of all sizes across Brighton & Hove and the wider UK. Ideal for pavement advertising outside shops and restaurants, event and festival directional signage, temporary outdoor promotions and any location where a lightweight, portable double-sided display is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our outdoor A-boards are printed direct-to-board on 4mm fluted board — a lightweight, corrugated plastic-like material that provides excellent colour reproduction and rigidity for outdoor use. Cutting and creasing is performed on flat-bed cutting machines for a clean, precise finish.

A-boards are sold in packs that fill an entire sheet of fluted board.

Yes — your pack can consist of the same design repeated across all boards, or completely different designs for each board. There is no difference in cost either way. This makes A-board packs ideal for businesses that need different messages for different locations or promotions.

Outdoor A-boards are suitable for outdoor use but are not fully waterproof — they will withstand light rain and general outdoor conditions but are not designed for permanent outdoor installation or prolonged exposure to heavy rain. For long-term outdoor signage, consider our Correx boards or aluminium composite signs.

We strongly recommend weighing down the base section with a sandbag or similar weight, or pegging the board into the ground when using outdoors. Weights and pegs are not supplied — these should be sourced separately from a hardware or events supply store. For very windy locations, consider using a heavier, more permanent display solution.

Handle cut-outs are openings cut into the board that make it easy to pick up, carry and reposition the A-board. They are included as standard on all boards. If you would prefer boards without handle cut-outs, simply delete those guide lines from the artwork template and let us know when ordering — this does not affect the price.
