The short answer, then the detail.

Use this sign where you need to say "Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet" clearly. It identifies the toilet or washroom, and is commonly fitted in offices, schools, shops, pubs and venues. The design uses a red prohibition circle with a white text panel, with the ISO 7010 P001 (General prohibition sign) symbol.
Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign: sizes and materials
Fit it on the door at the same height as your other door signs, usually around 1.4 to 1.7 metres from the floor, so it is easy to spot.
The legal background: the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require suitable toilets and washing facilities; clear door and direction signs help staff and visitors find them.
Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is usually all you need. The options are 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.
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).
Where to put it: On the door, with a directional sign where the route is not obvious.

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.

Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT.

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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
What does the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign mean?
"Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet" is a prohibition sign: a red circle with a diagonal bar, meaning something must not be done. It carries the ISO 7010 P001 symbol (general prohibition sign), 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.
How thick is the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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.
Can the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign be used outside?
Yes, in the right material. Dibond is the best choice for signs that stay outside long term. Foamex copes with sheltered outdoor spots but is happiest indoors. All printed signs fade slowly in strong sun over time; check them as part of your routine and replace any that are hard to read. The Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Will the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
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. The Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A2 (420 × 594 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Which file types do you accept for the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).
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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A2 (420 × 594 mm).
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 A2 (420 × 594 mm) design needs about 4,961 × 7,016 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.
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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.
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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.
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.
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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign starts at £5.28 before delivery.

The gap stays similar on bigger sizes, which the Prices by size table on this page shows in full.

Is the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign suitable for wet or steamy areas?
Dibond is the best choice near water: it is rigid, does not absorb moisture and wipes clean. Self-adhesive vinyl works on tiles and stainless steel if the surface is clean and dry when you apply it. Wipe signs with a damp cloth and mild detergent, not bleach or abrasive cleaners. The Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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 Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Can I put the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet 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.
Will this sign be easy to read for people with poor sight?
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. For the Do Not Flush Sanitary Products Down the Toilet Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

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.
