Frequently asked
Where should I position this sign relative to the door?
Mount the sign at eye level (1.4–1.6 m high) directly above or beside the door frame so workers see it before reaching for the handle. Ensure nothing obstructs the view.
Which material is best for a high-traffic warehouse door?
Colorbond steel withstands repeated contact and impact better than other materials. Vinyl is a durable alternative if you need flexibility or easier replacement.
Is lamination worth the extra cost?
Lamination extends the sign's life by 2–3 years in harsh conditions, protecting inks from UV damage and moisture. It's a worthwhile investment for outdoor or semi-sheltered doors.
Can I order different sizes for different doors?
Absolutely. Many facilities use 300×450 mm for interior doors and 600×900 mm for large rolling or sliding doors. Mix sizes in a single order at no extra setup cost.
How quickly can you deliver to regional Australia?
Standard delivery takes 3–5 business days to most postcodes. Rural and remote areas may take 1–2 weeks; we'll confirm the timeline when you place your order.
