Looking for "human" sandwich boards

Posted by Warren Beard on 20 July 2009 at 10:26

you know the type that hang on your shoulders, looking for a nice well made one so I don’t want to do it myself and would rather buy it in.

anybody know who supplied these?

cheers

i haven’t a clue who supplies them mate but they would be very easy made. get your composite board supplier to cut them to size for you. (hoarding board or the light versions of composite would be perfect)
jigsaw and file 2inch radius on each corner then using the handle straps from the likes of a sports bag to join the boards. just sandwich the straps between the composite and a small square of thin aluminum rivet them on. you can buy this type of strapping or similar from B&Q by the metre.
job done… cheap and cheerful but clean, light and much better than some of the crap ones you see walking the streets, all chibbed and heavy. :lol1:

We have made quite a lot of these for a couple of clients. All we do is printed vinyl mounted on 4mm correx and then eyelet banner PVC for the straps to the correx, light weight and quite comfortable I am lead to believe from the guys who wear them.

Just get Rob to make them and hire him to be the filling in the sandwich.
He’s a cute little chap.
