Sticker or aluminium sign?

• Sticker: for smooth, clean and flat surfaces, such as machines, doors, cabinets and glass. Quick to apply and suitable for sticking on a machine itself.
• Aluminium sign: for walls, fences and rough or uneven surfaces, and for outdoors. According to the supplier, aluminium sheet is strong, light and weather-resistant, and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. You fix the sign with screws, sealant or double-sided tape.

Which size?

We supply 100, 200 and 300 mm. The further someone stands from the sign, the larger it needs to be.

• 100 mm: on a machine or cabinet, read from close by.
• 200 mm: on a door or wall in a room.
• 300 mm: in a hall, on a site or on a fence.

Several pictograms on one sign

With a combination sign you put 2 to 4 ISO 7010 pictograms on one sign, with optional text. For example at the entrance to a workshop: "safety shoes mandatory", "hearing protection mandatory" and "no unauthorised access".
