From Scaffolding to Sidewalk: The Versatility of Mesh Banner and A-Frame Signs 

Effective custom outdoor signage must be versatile, covering everything from massive elevated structures to small, ground-level sidewalk advertisements. This range requires different materials, each optimized for its unique environment. 

Boston Signs and Printing specialize in producing this full spectrum of solutions. We feature heavy-duty mesh banner material for large construction sites and easily deployable A-Frame signs for street-level promotions. 

The Mesh Banner: Safety on Construction Sites 

Mitigating Wind Load on Large Structures 

The primary application for a mesh banner is mitigating wind load on vast, exposed surfaces. Construction sites frequently wrap scaffolding or perimeter fencing with branding and safety messages. A solid material here would be unsafe. 

The 10 oz. heavy-duty mesh fabric is perforated with small holes. This structure allows air to pass through easily, significantly reducing the wind pressure exerted on the sign and its supporting structure. 

Visibility and Durability Outdoors 

Despite the perforations, we ensure the graphics remain durable and highly visible from a distance. We use UV inks when printing, which resist fading and stand up well to the elements throughout the duration of the construction project. 

The mesh banner is specifically suitable for large outdoor advertisements where wind load is an issue. It is the only safe and responsible choice for large-scale wraps in windy Boston locations. 

The Sidewalk Solution: A-Frame Signs 

Portability and Protection at Ground Level 

For street-level visibility, A-Frame signs are the most effective portable solution. Our heavy-duty plastic A-frames are designed for sidewalk advertising. They can be filled with sand or water to enhance their stability. 

These double-sided sandwich boards feature a recessed sign area that protects the graphic faces from scratches and dirt. They offer immediate, high-traffic exposure right outside your business door. 

Utilizing Coroplast Inserts 

Our A-Frames are designed to use rigid inserts made of UV Direct Printed Coroplast. Coroplast is corrugated plastic that is affordable, lightweight, and moisture-resistant. These inserts slide easily into the frame. 

This system is ideal because the Coroplast graphics can be swapped out as often as needed. This flexibility is perfect for daily specials, changing promotions, or temporary events. 

Complementary Banners and Rigid Boards 

High-Resolution Branding with a Vinyl Banner 

While the mesh banner handles wind, the premium heavyweight 13 oz. scrim vinyl banner handles high-resolution color. This material is used when maximum visual impact and saturation are the top priorities. 

The vinyl banner is perfect for storefront announcements or interior event signage where wind resistance is not a factor. Its smooth, solid surface provides the best possible printing results. 

Permanent Fixtures: Aluminum Parking Signs 

For applications that demand absolute permanence, like managing customer parking, aluminum signs are necessary. Our .040 Aluminum parking signs are guaranteed to be rust-proof for at least five years. 

These durable signs, finished with UV printed vinyl, provide clear, long-lasting guidance for vehicles, complementing the temporary nature of the A-Frame signs.
