Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

A Reception sign guides drivers and visitors to the right entrance or exit. Choose 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite in sizes from A3 (297 x 420 mm) to A1 (594 x 841 mm); the largest reads at about 24 metres. Free standard UK mainland delivery, no VAT added.

This Reception sign guides drivers and visitors to the right entrance or exit. It is typically used in car parks, business parks, hospitals and depots. The design uses a clear blue and white information layout.

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

On private land, car park signs set the terms of use. If you use a parking operator, check their signage rules as well. 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.

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: A3 (297 x 420 mm) (reads at about 12 m); A2 (420 x 594 mm) (reads at about 17 m); A1 (594 x 841 mm) (reads at about 24 m).

Where to put it: At junctions and entrances, readable from a moving vehicle.

Every sign is made to order at our Manchester workshop. Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and built into the price. We are not VAT registered, so the price shown is the price you pay.

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 x 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 x 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 x 841 mm)24 m

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

Frequently asked questions

About reception sign.

What size Reception sign do I need?

Pick the size by how far away people will read it. A3 (297 x 420 mm) reads at about 12 m, A2 (420 x 594 mm) reads at about 17 m, A1 (594 x 841 mm) reads at about 24 m. These distances are a conservative guide for normal lighting.

Is there an ISO 7010 symbol for "Reception"?

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

Where should the Reception sign go?

At junctions and entrances, readable from a moving vehicle. Check it is visible from the direction people approach.

Is a Reception sign a legal requirement?

On private land, car park signs set the terms of use. If you use a parking operator, check their signage rules as well. Your own risk assessment decides where signs are needed.

Which material should I choose?

For a sign that stays up for months or years outdoors, choose Dibond aluminium composite. Correx is light, waterproof and the lowest cost for temporary use. Foamex suits sheltered spots.

How do I fix it?

Rigid boards are supplied undrilled. Fix them with sign-mounting tape, screws through holes you drill, or cable ties on fencing. Vinyl is self-adhesive and goes onto clean, smooth, dry surfaces.

Can you change the wording or add our logo?

Yes, as a custom job. Tell us the wording you need instead of "Reception", or send your logo, using the question box on this page or by calling 0161 315 1151.

When will it arrive?

Standard production is 2 working days (express 1) after you order. Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and built into the price.
