Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

A Delayed Egress Emergency Exit sign marks the escape route people follow to leave the building in an emergency. It uses the ISO 7010 E002 emergency exit (right hand) symbol. Sizes 297 × 100 mm to 594 × 200 mm in 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl. UK mainland delivery £7.95, free over £99; no VAT added.

Use this sign where you need to say "Delayed Egress Emergency Exit" clearly. It marks the escape route people follow to leave the building in an emergency, and is commonly fitted in corridors, stairwells, final exit doors and changes of direction on an escape route. The design uses a green safe condition layout, with the ISO 7010 E002 (Emergency exit (right hand)) symbol.

The wording "Delayed Egress Emergency Exit" is set in large, high-contrast lettering so it reads quickly.

In England and Wales the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires emergency routes and exits to be indicated by signs. Your fire risk assessment decides exactly where signs are needed.

Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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.

Choosing a size: we allow about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25mm of sign height, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1. That gives 297 × 100 mm (reads at about 4 m), 420 × 150 mm (reads at about 6 m), 594 × 200 mm (reads at about 8 m).

Where to put it: Above or beside exit doors and wherever the route changes direction, so the next sign is always in view.

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.

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

Which sizes can I order the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign in?

The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 297 × 100 mm at £4.49 up to 594 × 200 mm at £6.65. In between: 420 × 150 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size.

How far away can the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign be read?

Work back from how far away people will be when they need to read it. Using our guide of about 1 m of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height: 297 × 100 mm reads from about 4 m, 420 × 150 mm reads from about 6 m and 594 × 200 mm reads from about 8 m. In poor light, or where people are moving quickly, go a size up. The guide is based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1; use it with your own risk assessment.

Which material should I choose for the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign?

It depends where it goes and for how long: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite is rigid and weatherproof, the one for long-term outdoor use and busy areas. 3mm Foamex is light and smooth, best indoors or in sheltered spots. Self-adhesive vinyl sticks flat to doors, glass and smooth walls.

I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 297 × 100 mm to 594 × 200 mm.

How much does the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign cost?

The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts from £4.49 with size 297 × 100 mm and material self-adhesive vinyl on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: 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).

Do you charge for delivery?

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 £4.49 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 long does the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign take to make?

On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 6 working days, Standard in 4 and Express in 2. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts at £4.49 before delivery.

What type of sign is the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign?

"Delayed Egress Emergency Exit" is a safe condition sign: green, showing escape routes, first aid or emergency equipment. It carries the ISO 7010 E002 symbol (emergency exit (right hand)), so people understand it even if they do not read English. The colours and shapes follow the scheme set out in the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.

Is the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign glow in the dark?

No. We print it on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl; we do not offer photoluminescent material. If your fire risk assessment calls for signs that are visible when the lights fail, you need photoluminescent or illuminated signs, which we do not supply. Our printed signs work well where the area stays lit, including by emergency lighting.

Can I get the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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.

How thick is the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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.

Will the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I change the wording or add my logo to the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign?

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

What file should I upload?

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. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 297 × 100 mm to 594 × 200 mm.

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

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. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 a 594 × 200 mm design needs about 7,016 × 2,362 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.

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. For the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 297 × 100 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

Do you deliver Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign to the Scottish Highlands?

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. On the opening option, the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.

Can I pay for express production on the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign?

Yes. Express makes this sign ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £5.98 against £4.49 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.

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.

Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign or Wheeled Fire Extinguisher Sign: which should I choose?

The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign has 3 listed sizes from 297 × 100 mm; Wheeled Fire Extinguisher Sign has 4 from A4 (210 × 297 mm). Prices start at £4.49 and £5.28 respectively. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

Signs that are often needed alongside it include Fire Assembly Point Sign, Wheeled Fire Extinguisher Sign, Fire Alarm Call Point Sign and Fire Alarm Call Point (Polish and English) Sign.

Add them to one basket: delivery is charged once, and it is free once the goods total reaches £99. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is part of our Fire Safety Engineers range.

Is Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign suitable for fire safety engineers?

Use this sign where you need to say "Delayed Egress Emergency Exit" clearly. It is part of our Fire Safety Engineers range, which gathers what fire safety engineers order for fire equipment servicing and inspections. Other items in the same range include Magnetic Van Signs, Fire Extinguisher Service Labels, Fire Assembly Point Sign and Wheeled Fire Extinguisher Sign. You can mix items in one basket, and delivery is free once the goods total reaches £99. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is part of our Fire Safety Engineers range.

Can I get the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign bigger than 594 × 200 mm?

The largest listed size is 594 × 200 mm, from £6.65. 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.

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Will my brand colours print exactly?

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 297 × 100 mm.

Where is the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign made?

The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.

Can I change my artwork after ordering?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts at £4.49 before delivery.

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of the Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 297 × 100 mm to 594 × 200 mm.

How many Delayed Egress Emergency Exit 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts at £4.49 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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts at £4.49 before delivery.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. The Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign starts at £4.49 before delivery.

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 Delayed Egress Emergency Exit Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
