Picking a Size
Where It's Read From
A sign on a cabinet gets read from arm's length. One on a gate or warehouse wall has to be read from across the yard. The further away people are, the bigger the sign.
Measure the Spot
Check the space before you order, so the sign fits and sits flat.
Keep a Set Matching
If you're putting up a row of signs, the same size and material looks tidier.
Stuck Between Two?
Go the bigger one.
Which Material?
Aluminium
Tough and rigid. The pick for outdoors, gates and fences, and anywhere a sign might cop a knock.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl
Sticks straight onto a clean, smooth surface like a door, wall or cabinet.
Polyprop
Light, rigid plastic. Good indoors or under cover.
Label Rolls
Rolls of 500 for labelling containers and packages.
Need Something Different?
