Sandwich Boards
Sandwich boards are a type of announcement or promotion that consists of two boards containing the message and carried by a person with one of the boards in front and the other one at the back. This creates a sandwich effect, hence the name. Sandwich boards are usually positioned in busy pedestrian areas where the wearer can hand out flyers and shout special offers or advertising slogans. The more modern and common version is being in a triangle shape hinged at the top and placed next to a shop promoting its products and services. There are different types of sandwich boards, such as weighted holders or water base-framed for the outdoors to avoid being blown away or falling down, letterboard signs for custom messaging, write on holders (whiteboard or chalkboard) where messages can be changed as often as needed, and more.
