A-Frames & Bollard Covers
Footpath signage, and the bollards nobody thinks to brand.
Metal A-frames that stay out the front and take replacement inserts, lightweight frames that fold flat and travel, and tri-fold covers that turn a car park bollard into a sign.
The frame outlasts the message on all of them, which is the point: when the special changes, you replace the printed insert rather than the whole sign.
Timing is confirmed with your quote - tell us your date and we'll say straight away whether it's achievable. Collect from Fyshwick, or we ship anywhere in Australia.

Quoted to your spec, quantity and deadline.
Artwork requirements
Large format is read from metres away, so it needs far less resolution than print does - but it is less forgiving about scale and bleed.
- Print-ready PDF with no trim, crop or registration marks on it
- Set up at 100% scale full size, not scaled down. We'll send you the right artwork template for your chosen specs once the quote is approved
- Vector art if you have it it scales to any size and the edges stay sharp. A photo or a flattened logo can't
- Bitmap images at 130 dpi or higher at full size large format is read from metres away, so it needs far less than a business card
- Fonts converted to outlines as paths or curves, so nothing substitutes on our end
- Every image and element embedded anything linked rather than embedded arrives missing
- CMYK, not RGB and if brand colour is critical, send Pantone references from the PANTONE+ Solid Coated library
We'll send you the template
Once you've chosen your specs and approved the quote, our team sends the correct artwork template for exactly that product and size, with the bleed and safe area already marked. Nothing to hunt for, and no guessing which one applies.
Not sure? Send what you have. Our in-house design team checks every file before it goes to press and we'll tell you if something needs fixing before it costs you a reprint. Artwork preparation is quoted separately, and you'll never get a surprise line item.
Common questions
Metal or lightweight?
Metal if it lives out the front of a shop and goes out every morning - it has the weight to stay put and takes replacement inserts indefinitely. Lightweight if it travels to events and markets, folds flat and goes in a car.
Can I change the message later?
That is what they are built for. The insert is a separate printed panel, so a new season or a new special is a new insert into the frame you already own. Order spares up front and it is a two-minute job.
What is a bollard cover?
A printed tri-fold sleeve that wraps a car park or footpath bollard. It costs very little, it is at eye level, and it is usually the only thing in a car park nobody has branded.
Anything else
Something outside the standard spec?
The standard spec covers most jobs. Where it gets interesting is everything that isn't on this page.
Matching something you already have
Send us a sample. We'll match the stock, the finish and the trim so a reprint sits alongside what you have rather than beside it.
A stock or finish that isn't listed
Heavier boards, textured and uncoated stocks, laminates, soft-touch. Tell us what you're after and we'll tell you what's achievable and what it changes.
A non-standard size or shape
Square, slimline, rounded corners, die-cut. All possible, and all worth quoting properly rather than guessing at.
Tell us the date. We'll tell you how it's possible.
Most quotes come back the same business day. Give us quantity, branding and deadline, and we can usually map out a way to get there.
