DO NOT USE OUTSIDE

Apr 4, 2026 | Ethan

This product is TERRIBLE. It falls over with ease in light winds and the first fall it had with me it completely broke. $200 gone just like that. The metal is flimsy and cheaply made. The legs are hollow, the snaps are thinner than a soda can. Unless you have this inside an event center away from where people can even touch it, do not purchase this sign. ESPECIALLY if you are doing it outdoors.

Don't Buy

Apr 1, 2026 | Matthew M.

I have 8 of these that I use only 3x per year. They spend most of their time in storage. It's a great concept but a poor design. The little metal hinges that provide tension to hold the sign in place have a tendency to pop out. Once they pop out it's almost impossible to get them functional again. I am now the owner of semi serviceable like new (other than functionality) A frames that just aren't as advertised.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Aluminum A-Frame Signs. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the metal hinges losing tension and popping, and how restoring full functionality is difficult. Also, we regret that the design and functionality were not to your satisfaction. That’s not the experience we want our customers to have, and it doesn’t align with how these products are meant to perform. Your comments about the design are extremely valuable, and we’ll be sharing this feedback with our product team, so it can be reviewed and addressed. To help us share this feedback, we kindly ask that you respond to this email with photos or a video that displays the issue. If your request is urgent, and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/. We look forward to working with you.

We’ve ordered at least 10 aluminum A-frame signs from Vistaprint for various parish events, and they have been fantastic every time. The quality is excellent—durable, sturdy, and able to withstand outdoor use without any issues. The size is perfect for visibility, and they fit seamlessly into our sign holder outside. Printing is always crisp and professional, and everything has been delivered on time, which we really appreciate when working on event deadlines. Overall, these signs have been a reliable and worthwhile investment for us. Highly recommend!

Great quality!
