Office Signs

You can choose 3mm Foamex or 3mm Di-Bond. This is the material the item is printed on. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Each option is priced live, so you can compare before you add to basket.

You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 1000 × 1000 mm design needs about 3,937 × 3,937 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.

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. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. Office Signs come in 11 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

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. Office Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

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. Office Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order.

Yes, tied to railings, fencing or a gazebo, or fixed to an easel or stand. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

Yes. A printed board screwed to the wall or fascia makes a tidy shop sign. For example, A1 (594 × 841 mm) from £55.58. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.

Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. 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. Office Signs are printed on 3mm Foamex and 3mm Di-Bond.

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 Office Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

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. Office Signs come in 11 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself.
