Private Sign

"Private" is a message people need to take in at a glance. This sign gives people clear information where they need it and suits offices, shops, warehouses and public buildings. The design uses clean black text on a white background with a border.

The wording "Private" is set in large, high-contrast lettering so it reads quickly.

The legal background: door and information signs are not a legal requirement in themselves, but clear signs help visitors find their way and keep staff-only areas private.

You can have it printed on 3mm Foamex (rigid PVC foam board), light and easy to fix indoors or for short-term outdoor use, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, rigid and weatherproof for long-term outdoor use and self-adhesive vinyl for smooth walls, doors, glass and equipment. Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is usually all you need.

How far away will people be? As a guide we allow about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25mm of sign height, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1: 200 × 50 mm (reads at about 2 m); 250 × 75 mm (reads at about 3 m); 297 × 100 mm (reads at about 4 m).

Where to put it: At eye level where people will act on it.
