  economy swing signs

  Posted by Paul P on 11 October 2004 at 12:20

  Hi, I have to quote on a job requiring me to supply 10 pavement swing signs, the same type of thing as a walls ice cream sign, found outside most sweet shops etc

  Any ideas who produces the most affordable versions of these, its for a charity so theyre keeping a keen eye on the price of the job!

  I’ve tried amp/rotosign but would like to get the price a bit lower if poss.

  These are to be carried in car boots so must be the folding frame type.

  thanks

  Paul

  Thanks for that jim, i hadnt realised but that leaflet was sitting on my desk too, under the days bills!

  The ones I’m looking for dont have the black base, the frame hinges apart a bit like an “a” board.

  The ones i’ve seen are marked “AC Edwards” but the phone number comes up unrecognised. 🙁

  Hi, I think Cherwell do a folding swing sign, although I haven’t got their number to hand. Hope this helps a little.

  Cheers Pete

  spoken to cherwell & they dont do one, I was going to use their economy a boards but the customer saw the walls sign outside the sweet shop next door & declared he wanted signs “just like those”

  I’l keep looking, otherwise its back to cherwell for the a boards

  Cheers

  AC Edwards were a very large sign firm that went bust in the late 90’s – Hawes Signs took over their product range and client base and used to sell the AC Edwards range under the name of Giraffe. Don’t know if they still do but you could always give Hawes a call on 01604 790000
