A-Frames & Figures

A-frames and life-size figures that stop passers-by right at your door. We make them across Ukraine with our own crew: design, production and delivery, turnkey — for cafes, shops and services with sidewalk traffic.

What we make

A-Frames & Figures

An A-frame is a portable, double-sided sign: you set it by the door in the morning and bring it inside at night. A life-size figure is a freestanding shape, 3D or flat, that catches the eye from a distance and sticks in memory.

It's simple point-of-entry advertising for a business with foot traffic — cafes, coffee shops, salons, shops. We print on street-durable materials, and the promo panel can be refreshed without replacing the whole structure. It works where you just need to say, plainly, that you're here and what you do.

  • Pavement A-frames in A-format — double-sided, frame-style and chalkboard, readable from both sides of the sidewalk
  • Life-size figures — 3D and flat shapes built around your character or logo, visible from a distance
  • A-frames for cafes and coffee shops — for menus and seasonal offers you change every week
  • Greeting figures for the entrance — a waiter, a barista or a brand mascot that meets your guests
  • Interchangeable print panels — swap the promo without replacing the whole frame
  • Advertising figures and A-frames for beauty salons, shops and services — point advertising where the traffic is
How we work

The result is on us

We start with a free on-site visit, measurement and quote. Once you confirm the order we prepare the design and a 3D visualization — you see the A-frame or figure on your real facade before anything is made. Manufacturing follows, and then our own crew brings it over and sets it up. We run the full cycle: design, production, installation, service. Every job comes with a one-year warranty, and we keep servicing it afterwards.

MaterialsFoam PVC, aluminium composite, metal for frames; laminated vinyl or direct UV print
Typical sizesA-frames usually take an A1 poster; figures go up to human height and beyond, per the artwork
MountingAn A-frame stands on its own legs, a figure on a support base; our own crew delivers and sets it up
PlacementSidewalk, entrance area or sales floor; the unit is mobile, so you can move it any day
Service lifeA metal or composite frame lasts for years; daily handling, more than weather, usually sets the lifespan
Lead timeSimple A-frames — a few working days; complex life-size figures take longer
Warranty & serviceOne year on the product and installation; service and repairs continue after the warranty
Pricing

What goes into the price of a sign

The price of a sign depends on the facade, size and material, so we don't publish a single price list. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and you get an exact figure fast.

  • Size and dimensions

    A bigger sign means more material, fixings and hours on the install. We size the letter height to your facade width and the distance the sign has to be read from.

  • Materials

    Metal, acrylic, composite and PVC differ in both price and lifespan. A metal sign runs higher than PVC but lasts longer; at the survey we recommend the material for your facade and weather, not for the price list.

  • Lighting and electrics

    A non-illuminated sign costs less than a lit one: no LED modules, power supply or electrical work. Front-lit and halo-lit price separately too, and neon and lightboxes are our own offerings with their own pages.

  • Installation

    Install cost comes down to height, how hard the access is, and the wall material — brick, plaster, composite or glass. A sign over the entrance and a structure up under the roof are very different amounts of crew work and equipment.

  • Approvals and permits

    Some builds — blade signs over the pavement, rooftop signs, stelae on a site — need a placement approval. Where that applies, we tell you what to file and fold it into the quote.

  • Layout complexity

    A single word prices differently from a logo with fine detail, a set of plaques or a full floor of wayfinding. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and the 3D visualization on a photo of your facade comes after you confirm the order — so the look is agreed before manufacturing.

Simple signs are ready in a few working days, more complex structures take longer. The exact term is set in your quote.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

What affects the price of an A-frame or a life-size figure?

The type of structure, its size, the materials and the printing method — a life-size figure and an A-frame are priced differently. We'll name an exact figure after a free measurement: the quote is free and puts you under no obligation.

Is there a warranty?

Yes — a one-year warranty on every structure, and we keep servicing it afterwards. If an A-frame needs a repair or a fresh print, write to us; we're here.

Do you only work across Ukraine?

Ukraine and Ukraine Oblast first. We also manufacture and deliver for Ukrainian businesses in the EU — Poland, Czechia, Germany.

Do I need a permit to put an A-frame outside the door?

It depends on the city — there's no single rule. An A-frame isn't fixed to the facade or the ground, so it usually doesn't need the permit a stationary sign does. Sidewalk displays on municipal pavement do fall under local by-laws, though, and some city centres restrict them — check with your municipality. The A-frame's advantage is that moving it takes a minute.

How does an A-frame cope with rain or winter?

Rain and frost usually do an A-frame no harm: plastic and composite don't rust, and the print holds up to moisture. The real enemy is strong wind — in a storm, take the sign in or weigh it down. Chalk lettering does wash off, so keep a chalkboard under an awning in bad weather.

What do you need from us to order a life-size figure?

An image of your character, mascot or logo is enough — we prepare the production artwork ourselves. If you have no graphics at all, we draw the figure from scratch from your brief and brand book. A vector file speeds things up but isn't required: we can redraw from a photo.
