Frequently asked
Which size suits my smoking area?
180×250 mm works for standard bin-top or wall mounting in compact zones; 225×300 mm is visible from further away in larger parks or forecourts. Choose based on sightline distance and available wall space.
Why is the disposal-instruction version better than other variants?
Direct instruction ("Dispose Of Cigarettes Properly") outperforms softer messaging in industrial and public-park settings where compliance is critical. Research shows explicit action statements reduce litter more than appeal-based wording.
Can I add pre-drilled mounting holes?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
Do you offer bulk discounts for councils or park services?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
What material withstands outdoor weather longest?
Polypropylene resists UV fade and moisture; lamination extends both materials' lifespan in harsh conditions. For coastal or high-sun zones, polypropylene + lamination is the premium choice.
