Please Knock Before Entering Sign

Only where there is light on it. We print on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl, which are not reflective or glow in the dark. For car parks, yards and routes used after dark, position signs under existing lighting, or light them. Where your risk assessment calls for reflective or photoluminescent signs, you will need a specialist supplier.

Foamex and Dibond boards can be screwed to a wall through holes drilled near the corners; use washers and do not overtighten, especially on Foamex. On smooth indoor walls and doors, double-sided foam tape or adhesive pads avoid drilling. On fences, drill the board and cable tie it through the holes. The vinyl version simply peels and sticks to a clean, dry, smooth surface. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order.

The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Yes. Choose "Add my text and logo to a clean layout" (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) or "Design it for me from my brief" (£35) in the Artwork options and tell us what you need. You can also upload your own print-ready file at no charge, and a person checks it before printing. Keep safety symbols and colours as they are: changing them can make the sign harder to understand. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi a 297 × 100 mm design needs about 3,508 × 1,181 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. For the Please Knock Before Entering Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 mm.

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

The price shown is for one sign in the size and material you pick. Set the quantity box next to Add to basket and the basket multiplies it. If you need several different sizes or materials, add each one to the basket separately. One artwork fee covers the whole quantity of a line, and "Same artwork as another item in my basket" adds no second fee. For large runs, ask for a quote. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

This design is landscape, in 200 × 50 mm, 250 × 75 mm and 297 × 100 mm. Landscape suits wide spaces such as fences, above doors and along corridors. If you need the other way round, choose a design option and we will lay it out for you.

Foamex is a foamed plastic, so in strong sun and heat a large, thin board can bow, especially if it is only fixed at the corners. Dibond has aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why it is the choice for long-term outdoor signs. Fixing Foamex flat against a wall, or choosing a thicker board, keeps it straighter. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins, so it needs a fine-toothed saw and a steady hand. Drill fixing holes with an ordinary drill bit, going slowly, and keep holes at least 10 mm from the edge. Cutting into the print loses the bleed, so allow for it in the design. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. For the Please Knock Before Entering Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 mm.

Yes. Choose "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15) and send the wording in each language; you get 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes.

For the Please Knock Before Entering Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 mm.

Strong contrast, a plain bold typeface and a size to suit the viewing distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety sign designs use the high-contrast colour pairs set by the safety sign scheme. Place signs at eye level, well lit and without glare, and keep the wording short. The Please Knock Before Entering Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Walk the route people take and put a sign wherever someone needs the message and would otherwise miss it: each entrance, each approach to the hazard and each change of direction.
