The arms were officially granted on June 20, 1956.

The sheaves are from the arms of the Cheshire County Council and the Saxon Crosses have been a symbol of Sandbach for many years. The two sandstone structures are recognised as one of the finest Saxon monuments in Britain and are in the care of English Heritage.

The red half-wheel denotes the automotive and heavy engineering industries.

The arms are now used by the town council.
