Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

A Enquiries sign gives people clear information where they need it. Choose 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl in sizes from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm; the largest reads at about 4 metres. UK mainland delivery £7.95, free over £99; no VAT added.

This Enquiries sign gives people clear information where they need it. It is typically used in offices, shops, warehouses and public buildings. The design uses clean black text on a white background with a border.

Enquiries Sign: sizes and materials

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

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. Keep a note of where each sign is fitted as part of your records.

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: 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.

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.

SizeReadable from up to about
200 × 50 mm2 m

297 × 100 mm4 m

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

Frequently asked questions

About enquiries sign.

What size Enquiries sign do I need?

Pick the size by how far away people will read it. 200 × 50 mm reads at about 2 m, 250 × 75 mm reads at about 3 m, 297 × 100 mm reads at about 4 m. These distances are a conservative guide for normal lighting.

Is there an ISO 7010 symbol for "Enquiries"?

No ISO 7010 symbol covers this exact message, so it is a text sign in the standard text colour layout.

Where should the Enquiries sign go?

At eye level where people will act on it. Make sure it is not hidden by doors, stock or vehicles.

Is a Enquiries sign a legal requirement?

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. Your own risk assessment decides where signs are needed.

What does the colour of the sign mean?

Black text on white is used for general information. This sign follows that layout.

Can I put the Enquiries sign outside?

Yes, in Dibond. Foamex is best kept indoors or in sheltered spots.

Can I order several?

Yes. Set the quantity at checkout; each sign is made to order. For a large run of mixed signs, ask for a quote.

Is VAT added to the price?

No. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to the price shown. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order, free on orders of £99 and over.

Questions

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

Which sizes can I order the Enquiries Sign in?

The Enquiries Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm at £4.01 up to 297 × 100 mm at £4.49. In between: 250 × 75 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size. Not sure which fits? Measure the space and ask a question on this page, or call 0161 315 1151.

How far away can the Enquiries 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: 200 × 50 mm reads from about 2 m, 250 × 75 mm reads from about 3 m and 297 × 100 mm reads from about 4 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

How much does the Enquiries Sign cost?

The Enquiries Sign starts from £4.01 with size 200 × 50 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 £4.01 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign starts at £4.01 before delivery.

What type of sign is the Enquiries Sign?

"Enquiries" is a text sign, giving a clear written instruction. No ISO 7010 symbol covers this exact message, so the wording carries it. The colours and shapes follow the scheme set out in the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. The wording on the Enquiries Sign is "Enquiries".

Can I get the Enquiries 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

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 Enquiries Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 mm.

Can I change the wording or add my logo to the Enquiries 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. For the Enquiries Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 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 Enquiries 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 297 × 100 mm design needs about 3,508 × 1,181 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 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. For the Enquiries Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 200 × 50 mm.

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 Enquiries Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 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 Enquiries Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

Can I pay for express production on the Enquiries Sign?

Yes. Express makes this sign ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £5.33 against £4.01 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.

Do you deliver Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.

How do the material prices compare on the Enquiries Sign?

At 200 × 50 mm: 3mm Foamex £24.79, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite £36.94 and self-adhesive vinyl £4.01. 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.

Enquiries Sign or Lift Sign: which should I choose?

The Enquiries Sign has 3 listed sizes from 200 × 50 mm; Lift Sign has 4 from A4 (210 × 297 mm). Prices start at £4.01 and £5.28 respectively. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

What is the difference between Enquiries Sign and Information Sign?

The Enquiries Sign has 3 listed sizes from 200 × 50 mm; Information Sign has 4 from A4 (210 × 297 mm). Prices start at £4.01 and £5.28 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 Enquiries Sign?

Signs that are often needed alongside it include Entrance Sign, Information Sign, Lift Sign and Hearing Loop Facility 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 Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I get the Enquiries Sign bigger than 297 × 100 mm?

The largest listed size is 297 × 100 mm, from £4.49. 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 Enquiries Sign portrait or landscape?

This design is landscape, in 200 × 50 mm, 250 × 75 mm and 297 × 100 mm. Landscape suits wide spaces such as fences, above doors and along corridors. 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 Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I put the Enquiries 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 have the Enquiries Sign in another language, or in two languages?

Yes. Choose "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15) and send the wording in each language; you get 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes. Keep the symbol and the sign colours the same so the meaning stays clear to everyone. Please send the translation yourself: we lay out the text you give us, we do not translate. The Enquiries 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. The Enquiries Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

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. The Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

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 Enquiries Sign starts at £4.01 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 Enquiries Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

Where is the Enquiries Sign made?

The Enquiries 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.

How do I pay?

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 Enquiries Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 200 × 50 mm to 297 × 100 mm.

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 Enquiries Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of the Enquiries 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 Enquiries Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

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 Enquiries Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
