Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

A Male and Female Toilets sign identifies the toilet or washroom. Choose 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl in sizes from 150 × 150 mm to 297 × 297 mm; the largest reads at about 12 metres. UK mainland delivery £7.95, free over £99; no VAT added.

This Male and Female Toilets sign identifies the toilet or washroom. It is typically used in offices, schools, shops, pubs and venues. The design uses clean black text on a white background with a border.

Male and Female Toilets 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 Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require suitable toilets and washing facilities; clear door and direction signs help staff and visitors find them. Keep a note of where each sign is fitted as part of your records.

You can have it printed on 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.

Sizes and viewing distance: 150 × 150 mm (reads at about 6 m); 200 × 200 mm (reads at about 8 m); 297 × 297 mm (reads at about 12 m). 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, so choose a bigger size for long corridors, yards and car parks.

Where to put it: On the door, with a directional sign where the route is not obvious.

Artwork, file check and delivery

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
150 × 150 mm6 m
200 × 200 mm8 m
297 × 297 mm12 m

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

Frequently asked questions

About male and female toilets sign.

What size Male and Female Toilets sign do I need?

Pick the size by how far away people will read it. 150 × 150 mm reads at about 6 m, 200 × 200 mm reads at about 8 m, 297 × 297 mm reads at about 12 m. These distances are a conservative guide for normal lighting.

Is there an ISO 7010 symbol for "Male and Female Toilets"?

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

Where should the Male and Female Toilets sign go?

Is a Male and Female Toilets sign a legal requirement?

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. Your own risk assessment decides where signs are needed.

Questions

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

How far away can the Male and Female Toilets 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: 150 × 150 mm reads from about 6 m, 200 × 200 mm reads from about 8 m and 297 × 297 mm reads from about 12 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 sizes can I order the Male and Female Toilets Sign in?

The Male and Female Toilets Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 150 × 150 mm at £4.30 up to 297 × 297 mm at £5.90. In between: 200 × 200 mm. Prices are the lowest option for each size.

Which material should I choose for the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

How much does the Male and Female Toilets Sign cost?

The Male and Female Toilets Sign starts from £4.30 with size 150 × 150 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).

How long does the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign starts at £4.30 before delivery.

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 £4.30 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.

What type of sign is the Male and Female Toilets Sign?

"Male and Female Toilets" 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is "Male and Female Toilets".

How thick is the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Will the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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. For the Male and Female Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 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. For the Male and Female Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 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. For the Male and Female Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 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 a 297 × 297 mm design needs about 3,508 × 3,508 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.

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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.

Do you deliver Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.

Can I pay for express production on the Male and Female Toilets Sign?

Yes. Express makes this sign ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £5.74 against £4.30 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign?

At 150 × 150 mm: 3mm Foamex £25.85, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite £38.38 and self-adhesive vinyl £4.30. 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.

What other signs go with the Male and Female Toilets Sign?

Signs that are often needed alongside it include Male Female and Accessible Toilets Sign, Male Female and Disabled Toilets Sign, Male Female Arrow Left Toilets Sign and Male Female Arrow Right Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I get the Male and Female Toilets Sign bigger than 297 × 297 mm?

The largest listed size is 297 × 297 mm, from £5.90. 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign portrait or landscape?

This design is square, in 150 × 150 mm, 200 × 200 mm and 297 × 297 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Is the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 150 × 150 mm to 297 × 297 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I have the Male and Female Toilets 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 Male and Female Toilets Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 150 × 150 mm to 297 × 297 mm.

How many Male and Female Toilets signs do I need?
