Overview
The short answer, then the detail.
A Male 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.
"Male Toilets" is a message people need to take in at a glance. This sign identifies the toilet or washroom and suits offices, schools, shops, pubs and venues. The design uses clean black text on a white background with a border.
Male 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 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.
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.
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: 150 × 150 mm (reads at about 6 m); 200 × 200 mm (reads at about 8 m); 297 × 297 mm (reads at about 12 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.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| 150 × 150 mm | 6 m |
| 200 × 200 mm | 8 m |
| 297 × 297 mm | 12 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Frequently asked questions
About male toilets sign.
What size Male Toilets sign do I need?
Work back from the viewing distance: about 6 m for 150 × 150 mm, about 8 m for 200 × 200 mm, about 12 m for 297 × 297 mm. In poor light or where people are moving fast, go a size up.
Is there an ISO 7010 symbol for "Male 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 Toilets sign go?
On the door, with a directional sign where the route is not obvious. Check it is visible from the direction people approach.
Is a Male 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.
How do I fix it?
Use sign-mounting tape on smooth walls and doors, or drill the board and screw it to a wall or post. Vinyl versions stick straight onto clean, dry surfaces.
Which material should I choose?
Indoors, 3mm Foamex is light and easy to fix. Self-adhesive vinyl suits smooth doors, glass and machinery. Choose Dibond aluminium composite if the sign will be outside or needs to be tougher.
When will it arrive?
Standard production is 2 working days (express 1) after you order. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order, free on orders of £99 and over.
Can you change the wording or add our logo?
This listing is printed with the wording shown. For different wording, a logo or site details, ask on this page or call 0161 315 1151 and we will quote it.

The Male 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. Not sure which fits? Measure the space and ask a question on this page, or call 0161 315 1151.
What artwork options are there for the Male Toilets Sign?
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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
What is the cheapest price for the Male Toilets Sign?
The lowest price is £4.30, which is what the calculator opens on: size 150 × 150 mm and material self-adhesive vinyl. 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 the Male Toilets Sign?
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.
How quickly can I get the Male Toilets Sign?
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 Male Toilets Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
What does the Male Toilets Sign mean?
"Male 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 Toilets Sign is "Male Toilets".
Can I get the Male 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.
How thick is the Male 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.
Will the Male 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.
Can the Male 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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
How do I fix the Male 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 Toilets 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 Male Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 mm.
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 the Male Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 mm.
Which file types do you accept for the Male Toilets 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. The Male Toilets 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 × 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.
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 Male Toilets Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 150 × 150 mm to 297 × 297 mm.
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 Male Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.
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 Toilets Sign starts at £4.30 before delivery.
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 £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.
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 Male Toilets Sign starts at £4.30 before delivery.
How do the material prices compare on the Male 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 Toilets Sign?
Signs that are often needed alongside it include Male and Female Toilets Sign, Male Female and Accessible Toilets Sign, Male Female and Disabled Toilets Sign and Male Female Arrow Left 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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Is the Male 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.
Can I get the Male 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.
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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Is the Male 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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
Can I put the Male Toilets 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 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 Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
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. For the Male Toilets Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example 150 × 150 mm.
Can I have the Male 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 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 Toilets 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 Male Toilets Sign starts at £4.30 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 Male Toilets Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from 150 × 150 mm to 297 × 297 mm.
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. The Male Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.
What if I spot a mistake after I order?
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 Male Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.
Can someone help me choose the right options for this sign?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the sign will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. The Male Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.
Where is the Male Toilets Sign made?
The Male Toilets 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 many Male Toilets 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 Male Toilets Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop.
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. On the opening option, the Male Toilets Sign is ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.
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 Male Toilets Sign is printed on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and self-adhesive vinyl.
