Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
What sizes do Branded Directional Signs come in?
Branded Directional Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at £23.66 up to 1000 × 1000 mm at £122.62. In between: A3 (297 × 420 mm), A2 (420 × 594 mm), 500 × 700 mm, 508 × 762 mm and A1 (594 × 841 mm) and more. You can also type a custom size from 100 mm up to 2440 × 1220 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size.
Which board material is right for these signs?
Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex. Foamex (foamed PVC) is light and smooth: great indoors and in sheltered spots; thicker Foamex is stiffer over bigger sizes. Our Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx guide compares them side by side.
Can Branded Directional Signs go outside?
Foamex is best indoors or in sheltered outdoor spots; in full sun and weather it can bow over time. A laminate adds scuff resistance to the printed face. Every print fades slowly in strong sun, so face long-term signs away from full sun where you can. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
What artwork options are there for Branded Directional Signs?
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. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
How does the online designer work?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Branded Directional Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What is the cheapest price for Branded Directional Signs?
The lowest price is £23.66, which is what the calculator opens on: material 5mm Foamex, size A4 · 210 × 297 mm and Sides Printed Single Sided. 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 Branded Directional Signs?
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 £23.66 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Some sizes of this product travel as oversize items, which adds £15 once per order. 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.
Is there an oversize delivery charge on Branded Directional Signs?
Yes, on the largest sizes. Banners over 3 m on any side and boards larger than A0 travel by a specialist courier, which adds £15 once per order however many oversize items you buy. For Branded Directional Signs that applies to 1000 × 1000 mm. Smaller sizes go at the normal rate: 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 quickly can I get Branded Directional Signs?
Saver is ready to dispatch in 5 working days, Standard in 3 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, Branded Directional Signs are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
What does the sides printed option mean on Branded Directional Signs?
You can choose single Sided or double Sided. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Which lamination should I choose for these signs?
You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Which profile cut should I choose for these signs?
You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Can Branded Directional Signs be printed on both sides?
Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Which material should I choose for these signs?
You can choose 3mm Di-Bond or 5mm Foamex. This is the material the item is printed on. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.
Which drilling should I choose for these signs?
You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
What resolution does my artwork need for these signs?
For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 1000 × 1000 mm design needs about 3,937 × 3,937 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.
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. Branded Directional Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
Which file types do you accept for Branded Directional Signs?
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. Branded Directional Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
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 Branded Directional Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Branded Directional Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What quantities can I order?
The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 1000 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and more). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Branded Directional Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 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. Branded Directional Signs start at £23.66 before delivery.
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 largest sizes of Branded Directional Signs travel as oversize items (+£15 once per order).
I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for these signs?
Yes. Express makes these signs ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £31.56 against £23.66 on Saver (5 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.

Can I use these signs on a shop front?
Yes. A printed board screwed to the wall or fascia makes a tidy shop sign. For example, 508 × 762 mm from £61.13. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.
What other signs go with the Branded Directional Signs?
Signs that are often needed alongside it include Branded Information Signs, Branding Panels, Outdoor Business Signs and Shop Signs. 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. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Are these signs suitable for a building site?
Yes, for signs on hoardings and cabins. Fix it firmly: cable ties through every eyelet or hole, and check it after windy weather. Our construction site signage guide lists what a typical site entrance needs. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Would these signs work at an event or fair?
Yes, tied to railings, fencing or a gazebo, or fixed to an easel or stand. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
Can I trim or drill these signs myself?
Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. 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. Branded Directional Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.
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. Branded Directional Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.
Can I return these signs if I change my mind?
No. These signs are 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. Branded Directional Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.
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 and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Branded Directional Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.
What payment methods can I use for Branded Directional Signs?
