Frequently asked
Where should I install this sign?
Position it at vehicle entry/exit points, near playgrounds, or in car parks where staff or visitors may encounter children. Ensure it's at eye level for drivers and pedestrians.
What size should I choose for a car park entrance?
Available sizes are 180 x 250mm (Compact), 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Is lamination worth the extra cost?
Yes, especially if the sign is exposed to sunlight or occasional moisture. Lamination protects the print and extends the sign's lifespan by 2–3 years.
Do you offer custom text or design changes?
Our standard range uses proven messaging. For custom designs or bespoke text, contact our design team for a quote; lead times and costs vary by complexity.
What's the difference between vinyl and polypropylene for outdoor use?
Polypropylene is semi-weather-resistant but best for covered areas. For fully exposed outdoor mounting (gates, fences), colorbond 0.55 mm is the recommended choice.
