Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

A No Loitering on School Property sign sets a behaviour rule for a school or public space. It uses the ISO 7010 P001 general prohibition sign symbol. Sizes A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm) in 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite. UK mainland delivery £7.95, free over £99; no VAT added.

Use this sign where you need to say "No Loitering on School Property" clearly. It sets a behaviour rule for a school or public space, and is commonly fitted in schools, colleges, nurseries and community centres. The design uses a red prohibition circle with a white text panel, with the ISO 7010 P001 (General prohibition sign) symbol.

The message "No Loitering on School Property" states plainly what is not allowed, which makes the rule easier to explain and enforce.

These signs set rules for your own premises. They are not a legal requirement in themselves, but a clear sign makes the rule known to everyone who arrives. Keep a note of where each sign is fitted as part of your records.

You can have it printed on 3.5mm Correx fluted polypropylene, light and waterproof, ideal for temporary and site signs, 5mm Foamex, a thicker PVC foam board that stays flatter at larger sizes and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, rigid and weatherproof for long-term outdoor use. For signs that stay outdoors for a long time, Dibond is the most durable choice.

Where to put it: At entrances and in the areas where the rule applies.

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
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

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

The No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at £28.97 up to A1 (594 × 841 mm) at £57.10. In between: A2 (420 × 594 mm). Prices are the lowest option for each size.

Which material should I choose for the No Loitering on School Property 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. 5mm Foamex is light and smooth, best indoors or in sheltered spots. 3.5mm Correx is light and waterproof, ideal for temporary signs on fences and sites.

What artwork options are there for the No Loitering on School Property 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

What is the cheapest price for the No Loitering on School Property Sign?

The lowest price is £28.97, which is what the calculator opens on: size A3 (297 × 420 mm) and material 3.5mm Correx. 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 No Loitering on School Property 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 £28.97 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign?

Saver is ready to dispatch in 5 working days, Standard in 3 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 2 on Express.

How thick is the No Loitering on School Property Sign?

The board options are 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, so the board version is as thick as the figure in its name. 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign show up at night?

Only where there is light on it. We print on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 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 No Loitering on School Property 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. Correx is best cable tied to fencing or fixed to posts. The No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Which file types do you accept for the No Loitering on School Property 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 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. For the No Loitering on School Property Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Can I change the wording or add my logo to the No Loitering on School Property 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 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 A1 (594 × 841 mm) design needs about 7,016 × 9,933 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign starts at £28.97 before delivery.

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign starts at £28.97 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 £38.64 against £28.97 on Saver (5 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign?

At A3 (297 × 420 mm): 3.5mm Correx £28.97, 5mm Foamex £33.65 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite £50.09. 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign?

Signs that are often needed alongside it include No Pets Allowed in Athletic Field Areas Sign, No Pets Allowed Sign, No Photos or Videos Sign and No Playing or Climbing on Fence 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Is the No Loitering on School Property Sign portrait or landscape?

This design is portrait, in A3 (297 × 420 mm), A2 (420 × 594 mm) and A1 (594 × 841 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign bigger than A1 (594 × 841 mm)?

The largest listed size is A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £57.10. 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Can I put the No Loitering on School Property Sign on a door?

Yes, fixed with double-sided foam tape or screws. 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. The No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed on 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign, set your file up at the size you order, for example A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Can I have the No Loitering on School Property 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of the No Loitering on School Property 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 No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).

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.

How many No Loitering on School Property signs do I need?

Add them all as one line with a quantity, or as separate lines if you need different sizes or materials. The No Loitering on School Property Sign starts at £28.97 before delivery.

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 No Loitering on School Property Sign is printed in our Manchester workshop or by our UK production partner, depending on the size and material.

If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. The No Loitering on School Property Sign comes in 3 listed sizes, from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm).

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.
