Corrugated plastic (4mm)

Lightweight, economical. The default for daily/weekly café boards and political campaign signs. Holds direct UV print, with 3-month outdoor lifespan.

Alumacore composite

Aluminum-faced composite panel — the premium look. Holds richer color, lasts 5+ years outdoors. Used by real estate brokerages and building signage.

Changeable insert

Permanent frame with a printed insert panel that's swappable weekly. Add a new insert every season without buying a new frame.

A-frame questions

How does the A-frame stand up to wind?

The corrugated plastic version is rated to ~30 km/h wind upright. For typhoon season or rooftop wind exposure, we recommend filling each side with a 5 kg sandbag (₱250 each, sold separately) — that lifts wind tolerance to roughly 60 km/h. The aluminum version is heavier by default and tolerates 50 km/h without ballast.

Can I print both sides with the same artwork?

Yes — most cafés do this for "Open / Closed" or daily-specials boards. If you want two different designs (e.g. property details on side A, brokerage branding on side B), provide both files at upload and we'll print them on each side. Double-sided adds ~15% to the per-piece price.

How long do signs last outdoors?

Corrugated plastic: 3–6 months in direct sun. Alumacore composite: 5+ years. PVC insert panels (in a fixed frame): 2+ years. We rate outdoor lifespan by sun exposure — under shade or covered sidewalk, double the lifespan estimate.

Can I replace the insert without buying a whole new sign?

Yes, the changeable-insert A-frame ships with a reusable frame and one printed insert. Replacement inserts print for ₱450 each (corrugated 2×3 ft) and ₱680 (3×4 ft), with 2-day turnaround on re-orders.
