On show boards are printed with arrows and space for dates, times and addresses. We print them on Correx or ACM with stakes or A-frames. Boldmedia Print Zimbabwe can print show-day brochures to match.
On show boards direct buyers to a property during a show day, open house or viewing. They are typically portable A-frames, stake signs or pavement boards placed on street corners and at the gate, with directional arrows and the agency branding.
A good on show board is light enough for one agent to carry, quick to set up, stable in wind and readable by drivers turning into a street. Unlike for sale boards, they are temporary and moved every weekend, so portability, interchangeable arrows and durable edges matter more than permanence.

Supplying measurements
Tell us how many boards each agent needs and whether you prefer A-frames, stake signs or both. If you have existing frames, measure the insert size.
Artwork requirements
Send your vector logo and the wording, including space for arrows and the agent's details. We design a set with left, right and straight-ahead arrows where needed.
Survey and installation
On show boards are set up by agents each viewing day, so no installation is required. Check estate and municipal rules on placing signs on verges or in common areas.
Maintenance
Wipe boards down after each use and store them dry. Replace inserts that become scratched or faded so the agency looks professional on every show day.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, with interchangeable arrow panels or reversible boards.
Are A-frames stable in wind?
Weighted or heavier frames perform better; we can advise on the options.
