Frequently asked
Where should I position this sign in a warehouse?
Mount it at eye level (1.5–2 m high) near entry points to forklift zones, loading docks, and high-traffic aisles. Ensure it's visible from multiple angles.
Will vinyl hold up in a cold storage facility?
Vinyl performs well in cold environments and resists moisture. However, Colorbond steel is more durable for extreme temperature fluctuations and heavy wear.
What's the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 reflective?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Can I laminate a vinyl sign?
Lamination is typically applied to corflute and polypropylene for added protection. Vinyl has inherent weather resistance, so lamination is usually unnecessary.
Do you offer site surveys for sign placement?
We don't provide on-site surveys, but our team can advise on placement strategy via phone or email based on your warehouse layout.
