Our Manufacturing Edge: Quality in Every Material

Safety signs need to be instantly visible, legible, and, most importantly, able to withstand their intended environment—whether that's a clean, dry office or a harsh, chemical-prone factory floor. This is where our in-house manufacturing process and expert material selection become critical.

Every sign is produced from our facility in Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes, allowing us to maintain stringent quality control from concept to completion.

High-Performance Materials for All Applications:

• Rigid PVC & Foamex: The go-to standard for interior and general-purpose signs, offering a durable, lightweight, and cost-effective solution.
• Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Ideal for quick application to smooth surfaces, equipment, and doors, providing immediate compliance without the need for fixings.
• Di-Bond Aluminium: An exceptionally robust composite material perfect for external use, car park signs, and large industrial site boards where weather resistance and longevity are paramount.
• Glass Look Acrylic: Often used for prestige office locations and corporate buildings, providing a sophisticated, modern aesthetic for fire signage, plaques, and room nameplates where a standard PVC sign is not quite achieving the desired look.
• Photoluminescent (Glow-in-the-Dark): A life-saving material used for emergency exit and directional signs, designed to remain visible even during a power failure.

While we supply the standard safety signs, our unique selling proposition is our ability to go beyond the norm. For example we can change the wording on any sign to reflect your specific site rules or equipment instructions; ensure the signs are visible from the required distance, whether that's a small equipment label or a large multi-message construction board; incorporate your company logo and colours onto mandatory signs for a consistent, professional appearance and then finally add anti-graffiti coatings, chemical-resistant laminates, or special fixing points for difficult surfaces.
