Available Materials

Self Adhesive Vinyl

Our premium self-adhesive vinyl has a unique repositionable backing, making it easy to align perfectly on the first attempt. It is designed for smooth, flat surfaces like metal, glass, or painted walls and removes cleanly, leaving no residue behind. It's a fast way to get compliant.

Perfect for quick application onto clean, flat surfaces like metal panels or glass partitions.

Rigid Plastic

A 1mm thick rigid PVC board that is both lightweight and shatterproof. This robust material is well-suited to industrial environments and can be installed easily by drilling and fixing with screws, ensuring it stays put even in busy areas.

The best option for mounting on textured walls or in areas requiring a more robust, permanent sign.
