Overview
The short answer, then the detail.
A Danger High Voltage Keep Out sign warns of the electrical voltage present and the risk of shock. It uses the ISO 7010 W012 electricity symbol. Sizes A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm) in 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl. UK mainland delivery £7.95, free over £99; no VAT added.
This Danger High Voltage Keep Out sign warns of the electrical voltage present and the risk of shock. It is typically used in substations, switch rooms, distribution boards and plant rooms. The design uses a yellow hazard triangle with a bold DANGER message, with the ISO 7010 W012 (Electricity) symbol.
By common convention the word DANGER is kept for hazards that could kill or seriously injure, so it stands out from routine caution signs.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require a safety sign wherever a significant risk remains after other controls, and live electrical equipment is a common example.
Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign: sizes and materials
Materials: 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: A4 (210 × 297 mm) (reads at about 8 m); A3 (297 × 420 mm) (reads at about 12 m); A2 (420 × 594 mm) (reads at about 17 m); A1 (594 × 841 mm) (reads at about 24 m).
Where to put it: On the door or enclosure of the electrical equipment.

Which size do I need?
A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 8 m |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 (420 × 594 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 (594 × 841 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

What artwork options are there for the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign comes in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What is the cheapest price for the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
The lowest price is £5.28, which is what the calculator opens on: size A4 (210 × 297 mm) and material self-adhesive vinyl. Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT. 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).
How much is delivery for the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
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), so one sign at £5.28 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
How quickly can I get the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
Saver is ready to dispatch in 6 working days, Standard in 4 and Express in 2, counted in working days (Monday to Friday, not bank holidays) from when your order and artwork are confirmed. The exact figure for your chosen size and options shows beside each turnaround in the calculator. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. On the opening option, the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
How thick is the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
The board options are 3mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, so the board version is 3 mm thick. The self-adhesive vinyl version is a thin film that sits flat on the surface. Dibond is two thin aluminium skins with a plastic core, so it is rigid but still easy to fix. Foamex is a light foamed PVC board.
Can I get the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign as a sticker?
Yes. Choose self-adhesive vinyl in the material options and the sign arrives as a sticker to peel and apply. It suits doors, glass, machines, cupboards and smooth painted walls, where a board would be awkward to fix. Clean and dry the surface first and smooth it on from the middle outwards. For rough or dusty surfaces, choose a board instead.
Will the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign show up at night?
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.
How do I fix the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign to a wall or fence?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
What resolution does my artwork need for this sign?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design needs about 7,016 × 9,933 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.
Can my designer send the file straight to you?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. For the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Which file types do you accept for the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Do you check my file before printing?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign comes in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Will the price change at checkout?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
How do I order several of this sign?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
Can you deliver to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.
I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for this sign?
Yes. Express makes this sign ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £7.03 against £5.28 on Saver (6 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
How do the material prices compare on the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
At A4 (210 × 297 mm): 3mm Foamex £29.26, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite £42.94 and self-adhesive vinyl £5.28. The gap stays similar on bigger sizes, which the Prices by size table on this page shows in full. Choose on where the sign goes rather than price alone: the cheapest material is not always the one that lasts in that spot.
Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign or Danger High Voltage No Admittance Sign: which should I choose?
The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign has 4 listed sizes from A4 (210 × 297 mm); Danger High Voltage No Admittance Sign has 3 from 200 × 50 mm. Prices start at £5.28 and £4.01 respectively. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
What other signs go with the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
Signs that are often needed alongside it include Danger High Voltage No Admittance Sign, Danger of Death Keep Out Sign, Danger 11,000 Volts Sign and Danger Electric Shock Risk Sign. Each has its own page with sizes, materials and live prices, and ordering them in the same material keeps a set looking consistent. Add them to one basket: delivery is charged once, and it is free once the goods total reaches £99. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Can I get the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign bigger than A1 (594 × 841 mm)?
The largest listed size is A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £15.91. For a bigger sign, use Get a quote with the size, material and quantity, and we will price it. Boards larger than A0 travel as oversize items, which adds £15 once per order.
Is the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign portrait or landscape?
This design is portrait, in A4 (210 × 297 mm), A3 (297 × 420 mm), A2 (420 × 594 mm) and A1 (594 × 841 mm). Portrait suits doors, posts and narrow wall spaces. If you need the other way round, choose a design option and we will lay it out for you.
Will this sign bend or bow in the sun?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Can I put the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign on a door?
Yes. Self-adhesive vinyl is the neatest choice for doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board with double-sided foam tape also works well on a flat door. Place it at eye level on the push side or beside the door, where it is not hidden when the door is open. If the door is a fire door, check with whoever manages it before screwing anything into it.
Can I trim or drill this sign myself?
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 Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Should my artwork be CMYK or RGB?
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. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
Can someone help me choose the right options for this sign?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the sign will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
What payment methods can I use for the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.
Can I reorder the same sign later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. Keep your print-ready file safe so a repeat order is quick. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign?
Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign comes in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).
How many Danger High Voltage Keep Out signs do I need?
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. Larger areas usually need the same sign more than once, in the size that suits each viewing distance. Add them all as one line with a quantity, or as separate lines if you need different sizes or materials. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.
Can I return this sign if I change my mind?
No. This sign is printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.
Where is the Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign made?

How do I clean this sign?
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry. Do not use solvents, scouring pads or strong cleaners, which can dull or lift the print. Store spare boards flat so they do not bow. The Danger High Voltage Keep Out Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
