What Is Jack In The Box? – The Outdoor Digital Sandwich Board Built for Sidewalk Sales

A Modern Upgrade to the Classic Sidewalk A-Board

 For decades, chalkboards and poster A-frames have helped cafés, shops, and salons lure walk-ins.

But they’re easily ruined by weather and require constant re-printing.

Jack In The Box replaces all that with a 43-inch battery-powered digital sandwich board that’s IP-55 weather-rated, AR-tempered-glass protected, and bright enough (≈ 1800 nits) to stay visible in direct sunlight.


Built for the Street

  • Portable: rolls easily to the best curbside angle each morning.
  • All-Weather: sealed steel housing with AR-tempered anti-glare glass.
  • Daylight-Bright LED: 1800 nits vs 300-500 nits of an indoor TV.
  • Battery or Plug-In: run wire-free for ≈ 6-8 hours or plug into AC power for all-day display.
  • App-Free Content Updates: use USB drive & remote control to load slides or silent MP4 videos.

Why It Outperforms Chalk & Print

  • Instant content swaps – no waiting on printers.
  • Weather-resistant – rain won’t smear or warp slides.
  • High visibility – even in bright noon sun.
  • Lower long-term cost – cuts weekly poster printing waste.
