Sign & Poster Stands

Sign stands and poster stands put your message where people are already standing still. In a queue, at an entrance or beside a service desk, a floor-standing sign holder is read far more often than the same notice taped to a wall.

Sign stands

Our sign stands take a rigid insert in a metal frame on a weighted base. There are two decisions to make:

• Frame orientation — vertical (portrait) for wayfinding and short instructions, horizontal (landscape) for wider messages and logos.
• Base type — a flat base sits low and is less of an obstruction in tight aisles, a dome base is heavier and harder to knock over in a busy space.

The Hostess sign stand is a compact option for restaurant and reception use, the snap frame model lets you change the printed insert without dismantling the frame, and the 6 ft stand raises the message above head height so it can be read from across a room.

Poster stands

Poster stands take standard graphic sizes — 14" x 22" and 22" x 28" — so you can print through any commercial supplier without a custom size. Single, double and triple frame models are available, and the double and triple versions are the cheaper way to show several messages than buying multiple stands.

Tube bases suit permanent placement; flat bases are easier to move and store. The A-frame model is double-sided, which matters in a corridor or on a shop floor where people approach from both directions.

Heavy-duty and outdoor use

The Versa range is built for harder wear and takes a choice of insert — rigid poster, paper poster, cork board or marker board — in 22" x 28" and 24" x 36" frames. The marker and cork options are worth considering where the message changes daily and reprinting is not practical.

Mounting signage on a stanchion

If you already have a stanchion line, you may not need a separate stand at all. Post-top signs and frames fit directly onto crown and flat-top posts, and stanchion banners turn an existing queue into a run of printed panels.
