Materials
| Aluminium composite | Outdoor and indoor panels that need to stay rigid in an industrial setting |
|---|---|
| Chromadek-style coated steel | Durable, practical outdoor signs at gates and yards |
| Reflective vinyl | Gate and bay signs that must be read in headlights or low light |
| ABS plastic | Indoor safety and information signs on walls and machinery |
| Heavy-duty floor vinyl | Floor markings and walkways with appropriate surface protection |
Choosing a size
Bay numbers and gate signs are read by drivers from cabs at distance, so they need large, bold characters. Indoor zone signs are often hung high so they can be seen above racking and machinery. Safety signs should be sized for the distance at which people first need the information.
Standards and compliance
Factories commonly follow SANS 1186 for safety sign symbols and colours, and the employer has broader duties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Exterior building signs may need landlord and municipal approval. The customer remains responsible for deciding which signs are required and for any approvals; we can advise and print to the specification supplied.
Same-day conditions
- Building identification and large fabricated signs are quoted with a confirmed lead time and are not same-day
- Standard printed safety signs on ABS, composite board or vinyl can sometimes be produced same-day for an audit or urgent gap
- Urgent items depend on stock, capacity, approved artwork and full payment before the configured cutoff
- Installation across the site is scheduled separately

Signs are priced by quotation based on size, material, quantity and finishing. Request a quote.
FAQs
Can you audit our site signage?
We can walk the site with you and suggest a sign schedule for identification and wayfinding. Decisions about required safety signs remain with the employer or safety officer.
What lasts best in a dusty plant?
Rigid composite or ABS signs with laminated or vinyl graphics can be wiped clean. We recommend materials for each location.
Can you number our loading bays?
Yes. Large numbers on reflective vinyl or composite panels, mounted above or beside each bay, work well for drivers.
Do you do floor markings?
We supply floor graphics and markings in suitable materials. Surface preparation is important for good adhesion.
