What Types of Signs and Printed Panels Can I Order?
We print personalised signs and rigid panels for business, retail, hospitality, events, wayfinding, promotions and temporary notices. The main calculator includes standard and custom sizes, portrait, landscape and square formats, several material thicknesses, gloss or matt lamination, and optional drilled holes. Choose the specification for where the sign will be displayed, how long it needs to last and how it will be fixed rather than selecting by appearance alone.
Which Sign Material Should I Choose?
Choose the material around the environment, required lifespan, weight and fixing method. Corrugated plastic is the lightweight, cost-effective option for indoor displays and temporary outdoor signs. Other rigid materials suit different levels of indoor or outdoor use. If your project specifically requires a rigid display board, permanent metal sign, construction-site perimeter display or shaped foam panel, use our dedicated foam board printing, aluminium sign printing, hoarding panel printing or shaped foam board printing page for the product-specific options.
What Is Corrugated Plastic Sign Printing Best For?
Printed corrugated plastic signs are well suited to estate-agent style boards, event directions, temporary promotions, traffic guidance, lightweight notices and short-term outdoor campaigns. The fluted construction keeps a large panel relatively light, making it easier to carry, position and replace than a heavier rigid sign. It is a practical choice when value, portability and quick installation matter more than a permanent premium finish.
Are Corrugated Signs Waterproof and Scratch-Resistant?
The 4mm corrugated plastic material is waterproof, and the printed face is made for practical handling with water- and scratch-resistant protection. It is suitable for indoor use and temporary outdoor display, but this does not make every installation permanent or damage-proof. Wind loading, exposed edges, fixings, abrasion, temperature and prolonged sunlight all affect service life, so secure the panel correctly and inspect it during extended use.
How Thick Are Printed Corrugated Signs?
Our corrugated sign option is 4mm thick. This gives the board useful rigidity while keeping it light enough for temporary displays, event signs and portable promotions. The internal flutes have a direction, so tell us how the panel will be mounted if you need holes, ties or another fixing arrangement to work with a particular orientation.
How Can I Mount a Corrugated Plastic Sign?
Corrugated signs can often be fixed with cable ties, suitable double-sided tape or screws and washers, depending on the surface and conditions. We can add drilled holes when they are specified in the order and artwork. Use fixings appropriate to the wall, fence, post or frame, spread the load so the board does not tear, and avoid placing a lightweight panel where wind could make it unsafe. We do not supply one universal fitting kit because every installation is different.
Can I Use Custom Printed Signs Outdoors?
Yes, provided you select a material, laminate and fixing method intended for the exposure. We print with UV-resistant, weatherproof inks, and gloss lamination is generally the better choice for outdoor panels because it adds face protection and helps colours remain vibrant. Temporary corrugated signs can work outdoors for shorter campaigns; more exposed or long-term installations need a more durable product. Outdoor suitability always depends on wind, sunlight, moisture, temperature, location and maintenance.
Which Laminate Is Best for Indoor and Outdoor Signs?
Matt laminate reduces reflections from indoor lighting and gives printed signs a quieter, low-sheen finish, which can help text remain readable in shops, offices and exhibitions. Gloss laminate has a brighter surface and provides stronger face protection for outdoor applications. Consider the actual lighting and viewing angle: a glossy sign can reflect direct light, while an unlaminated or matt face may be less suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure.
How Long Will an Outdoor Printed Sign Last?
There is no single lifespan for every outdoor sign. The chosen material, laminate, ink coverage, position, orientation, fixings, cleaning and exposure to wind, rain, sunlight and temperature all make a difference. A sheltered promotional panel may remain presentable much longer than the same panel in an exposed roadside position. Tell us where and how the sign will be used, and test or inspect it regularly rather than relying on one universal durability figure.
Can You Print Signs for a Car Wash?
Yes. We can print custom car wash signs for hand car washes, mobile valeting businesses and fixed sites, including entrance boards, price signs, service menus, directional signs and customer-information panels. A consistent logo, colour palette and layout across the set helps the site look professional and makes the washing options easier to compare. Choose an outdoor-suitable specification for signs exposed to spray, cleaning products, sunlight and frequent handling.
What Information Should I Put on a Car Wash Sign?
Prioritise the information a driver needs quickly: business name, services, clear prices, opening hours, accepted payment methods, entrance or queue directions and a concise call to action. Keep lengthy conditions or disclaimers separate from the main price board so they do not make the selling message difficult to scan. You are responsible for checking that prices, claims, safety wording and customer terms are accurate and legally appropriate before approving the proof.
Are Car Wash Sign Boards Suitable for Wet Environments?
They can be, when the material and finish are chosen for the location. Use an outdoor-suitable panel with gloss face protection, keep exposed edges and fixings in good condition, and position the sign so water cannot collect behind it or compromise the mounting surface. A printed sign should not be treated as a substitute for a regulated safety sign, and no panel is immune to pressure washing, harsh chemicals or repeated impact at close range.
Can You Print Marathon and Running Event Signs?
Yes. We can print marathon signs, race signs and running-event signage for organisers, sponsors, charities and supporters. Typical uses include route directions, kilometre or mile markers, registration information, baggage and hydration points, sponsor boards, finish-area messages and personalised supporter signs. Supply a schedule of every design and quantity so we can proof the full set clearly before production.
Which Signs Work Best for Marathon Supporters and Event Organisers?
Lightweight corrugated panels are useful for temporary race directions and supporter signs because they are easy to transport, hold and cable-tie to suitable structures. Organiser signage should use large type, strong contrast, consistent arrows and the minimum wording needed at the decision point. Supporter signs can be more personal, but the message still needs to be bold enough for a moving runner to read from a distance. Secure every sign safely and obtain the venue or landowner's permission.
Can I Order a Personalised Bar or Pub Sign?
Yes. We can print personalised bar signs, pub-style signs and custom panels for a home bar, garden bar, hospitality venue or gift. Your design can include a family name, establishment name, date, house rule, drinks list, logo, illustration or short message. Tell us whether the sign will be indoors, sheltered or fully exposed so we can recommend a suitable specification rather than choosing the finish solely for its appearance.
Can a Personalised Bar Sign Be Displayed Outdoors?
Yes, if you order it on an outdoor-suitable material with the appropriate laminate and mount it securely. A sign inside a covered garden bar faces different conditions from a panel fixed to an exposed wall, so consider direct rain, sunlight, condensation, wind and temperature changes. Do not use indoor-only material outside, and check the fixings and printed face periodically to keep the sign safe and presentable.
What Size Is an A1 Sign?
An A1 sign measures 594 × 841mm in portrait orientation, or 841 × 594mm in landscape. It is a large, high-visibility format suited to welcome signs, shop promotions, conference information, event directions and display boards that need to be noticed from farther away. Design at the final orientation and judge all text at actual size, because an A1 panel still needs a clear hierarchy rather than simply enlarging a crowded smaller design.
What Size Is an A2 Sign?
An A2 sign measures 420 × 594mm in portrait orientation, or 594 × 420mm in landscape. It works well for promotions, menus, reception notices, exhibition information and wayfinding where A1 would take up too much space. A2 is half the area of A1, so reduce the amount of copy and keep the most important words, prices or arrows prominent.
Should I Choose an A1 or A2 Sign?
Choose A1 when the sign must command more space or be read from a greater distance; choose A2 for closer viewing, tighter interiors or a series of coordinated panels. Measure the display area, identify the likely viewing distance and test-print the main wording at scale before deciding. A larger panel does not fix weak hierarchy, so use short copy, strong contrast and appropriately sized type in either format.
Can You Print Custom Sign Sizes?
Yes. Alongside standard A sizes, the sign calculator includes custom panel dimensions so the finished board can fit a particular wall, frame, counter or display area. Measure the available space carefully and state the finished width and height, not the artwork size including bleed. Very large panels may have material, transport or finishing limits, so contact us before designing if both dimensions are unusually large.
Can I Order Several Sign Designs at the Same Time?
Yes. You can supply a set of different sign designs for one campaign, venue or event. Name every file clearly and provide a schedule showing the finished size, material, orientation, finish and quantity for each version. Designs with different specifications may need to be priced as separate items, but we can still coordinate the proofing and production so colours, logos and layout remain consistent across the set.
Can You Add Drilled Holes to My Printed Sign?
Yes, drilled holes are available for suitable sign materials. Show every hole with a 1pt magenta circle on a separate artwork layer or page and confirm the diameter and distance from the edges. Keep holes clear of logos, small text and important graphics, and allow enough material around each fixing point to spread the load. We can drill the panel, but you remain responsible for choosing safe fixings and a suitable mounting surface.
Do I Need Permission to Display a Printed Sign?
Possibly. You will need the landowner's permission, and some outdoor, illuminated, roadside, business or event signs may also require advertisement consent, planning approval, a permit or agreement from the venue or local authority. Rules depend on the sign's size, height, location, content and duration. Check the current requirements with the relevant council, site operator or event organiser before ordering or installing; we print the sign but cannot approve its legal placement.
How Do I Design a Sign That Is Easy to Read?
Start with one clear purpose and make the most important message the largest element. Use a short headline, bold legible type, strong contrast and enough empty space around text, prices, arrows and contact details. Avoid long paragraphs and thin lettering, then test the design at the expected viewing distance and angle. For directional signs, use consistent arrows and place the instruction before the point where the viewer must decide.
Will the Colours on My Printed Sign Match My Screen?
Not exactly. Screens emit RGB light, while printed signs reproduce colour with CMYK inks on a physical surface, so brightness and some saturated colours will change. Material, laminate and lighting also affect the result. Set the artwork to CMYK, avoid judging critical colours from a phone alone and request a representative test where colour is essential. Our guides explain the difference between CMYK and RGB and why print and screen colours differ.
What Resolution Should Sign Artwork Be?
Supply raster artwork at a minimum of 72dpi at the final printed size. Resolution must be judged together with scale: a small 72dpi image enlarged to A1 will not contain the same detail as a file already prepared at A1. Logos and text are best supplied as vectors where possible, and photographs should be checked at the intended viewing distance. Our DPI guide explains how pixel dimensions and print size work together.
How Do I Prepare Artwork for Sign and Panel Printing?
Supply a PDF, JPG or fully packaged Adobe Illustrator file in CMYK at the final size or at a clearly stated scale. Add 2mm bleed, use at least 72dpi for raster artwork at final size and keep text, logos and important foreground images within the 50mm safe zone shown in the sign requirements. Extend backgrounds into the bleed rather than adding a white border. Read our guides to printing bleed and checking artwork for print before sending the file.
Can Your Design Team Create My Sign Artwork?
Yes. Our in-house designers can create a sign from your brief or adapt existing brand artwork for a new size and application. Send us the exact wording, logo files, brand colours, finished dimensions, orientation, photographs or illustrations, preferred style and where the sign will be viewed. Include any compulsory prices, directions or legal wording verbatim. Our guide to writing a design brief will help you provide the information needed for an efficient first proof.
Will I Receive a Proof Before My Signs Are Printed?
Yes. We send a digital proof for approval before production. Check every word, price, date, arrow, contact detail, finished size, orientation, version and hole position; also confirm that the correct artwork belongs to each quantity. The proof shows content and layout, but your screen cannot reproduce the exact printed colour, laminate reflection or physical scale. We do not start printing until the proof has been approved.
How Long Does Sign and Panel Printing Take?
The current calculator shows an estimated production time for the material, size, quantity and finishing options you select. Production begins after the proof is approved, and the estimate does not include the time spent preparing or amending artwork or the courier journey. Large, multi-version or specially finished orders may take longer. If you have a fixed event or opening date, tell us before ordering and allow time for proofing, production, delivery and installation.
How Should I Clean and Maintain a Printed Sign?
Remove loose dirt first, then wipe the face gently with clean water, mild soap and a soft non-abrasive cloth. Avoid solvents, scouring pads, stiff brushes and pressure washing, which can damage the print, laminate or edges. Check holes, fixings, corners and mounting surfaces regularly, particularly after strong wind or impact. Take down a temporary sign when the campaign ends or if the panel or installation becomes damaged.
We print personalised signs and rigid panels for business, retail, hospitality, events, wayfinding, promotions and temporary notices. The main calculator includes standard and custom sizes, portrait, landscape and square formats, several material thicknesses, gloss or matt lamination, and optional drilled holes. Choose the specification for where the sign will be displayed, how long it needs to last and how it will be fixed rather than selecting by appearance alone.
