Overview

This notice sign puts the information right where people are looking for it. Typical homes for it are public buildings, warehouses, shops and offices. Our admin office sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

Where it goes

At eye height, right where people have to act on it. Keep all door signs at the same height so people know where to look; 1.4 to 1.7 metres is usual.

Before you order admin office sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes 200 x 50 to about 2 m, 250 x 75 to about 3 m and 297 x 100 to about 4 m. That suits doors, walls and counters, where people stand close.

What the sign says

It reads "Admin Office". White lettering on a solid blue panel keeps it clean and easy to read, so the words do the work.

Boards for admin office sign printing

For admin office sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.

Door signs are not usually required by law, but they save staff a lot of "where is the...?" questions.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to use a safety sign where a risk cannot be removed or controlled some other way.

Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints. Every admin office sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

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
200 × 50 mm2 m
250 × 75 mm3 m
297 × 100 mm4 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about admin office sign printing.

Which size of Admin Office sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 2 m calls for 200 × 50 mm, 3 m calls for 250 × 75 mm and 4 m calls for 297 × 100 mm. Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, 297 × 100 mm, is the choice for wide open spaces.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "Admin Office"?

Not one that fits this wording, so the "Admin Office" sign is a text-only design: white lettering on a blue panel.

Where should the "Admin Office" message go so people act on it?

The right place is on or beside the door, desk or area it names, at eye level. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Am I legally required to display "Admin Office"?

Door and information signs are not required by law in themselves. They help visitors find their way and keep staff-only rooms private. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

How do I put the Admin Office sign up?

On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Foamex, Dibond or vinyl: which should I choose?

Ask where it is going. Outdoors or somewhere it may get knocked: Dibond aluminium composite. Smooth doors, glass or machinery: self-adhesive vinyl. Anywhere else indoors: 3mm Foamex, which is light and easy to fix.

How soon will the Admin Office sign reach me?

Standard takes 4 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Could the Admin Office sign say something different, or carry our logo?

This one is printed exactly as shown, but a version with your own wording is possible. Tell us the text you want in place of "Admin Office", plus any logo or site details. Write to us from the Contact page and a person replies, and we will quote it.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Admin Office Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with 200 × 50 mm and self-adhesive vinyl, the Admin Office Sign comes to £3.81. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £3.81 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of the Admin Office Sign?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £3.81 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Admin Office Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Admin Office Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with the Admin Office Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Admin Office Sign starts from £3.81.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, 200 × 50 mm costs from £3.81; at the top, 297 × 100 mm costs from £4.26. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.

Which size of the Admin Office Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Admin Office": about 2 m for 200 × 50 mm, 3 m for 250 × 75 mm or 4 m for 297 × 100 mm. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice.

Where is the best spot for an Admin Office Sign?

Picture someone arriving at an office, a shop, a school or a club house who needs to see "Admin Office". Fix it level with people's eyes on the way towards the hazard or area it covers, clear of doors that swing open and of stacked stock. Give it decent light and a clear line of sight, with nothing parked, stacked or swinging open in front of it. Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What message is an Admin Office Sign giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Admin Office", so the text does the talking. The design follows the text sign pattern, used to put a plain written instruction in front of people. Typical spots: an office, a shop, a school or a club house. Word for word, this sign says "Admin Office".

How much for the biggest size, 297 × 100 mm?

From £4.26, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £25.15, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £37.23 and self-adhesive vinyl at £4.26. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves.

How much does a 250 × 75 mm sign cost?

From £4.01, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £24.26, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £36.05 and self-adhesive vinyl at £4.01. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Admin Office" the sizes are 200 × 50, 250 × 75 and 297 × 100 mm.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Admin Office Sign begin at £3.81, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £3.81 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, this sign costs from £3.81.

Our event is close. Can the Admin Office Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Admin Office Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £5.06, where Saver is £3.81 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

Can the wording on an Admin Office Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Admin Office" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So a 297 × 100 mm layout wants about 3,508 by 1,181 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the Admin Office Sign?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Does the Admin Office Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Admin Office Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being 200 × 50 mm.

What thickness is the Admin Office Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Admin Office Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Canteen Sign and Bay Marking Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Admin Office Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £3.81.

Will an Admin Office Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Admin Office"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What is the easiest way to put up an Admin Office Sign?

To mount "Admin Office" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Where do the Admin Office Sign and the Bay Marking Sign differ?

Set the Admin Office Sign beside the Bay Marking Sign and a few things differ. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 200 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.81 on this page and £5.02 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Does the material change the price of the Admin Office Sign?

Taking the smallest size, 200 × 50 mm, as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £3.81, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £35.09 and 3mm Foamex at £23.55. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more.

How would I decide between Arrow Left or Right Sign and Admin Office Sign?

Set the Admin Office Sign beside the Arrow Left or Right Sign and a few things differ. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 200 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.81 on this page and £5.02 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Should I get the Admin Office Sign, or would Authorised Personnel Only Sign suit me better?

Set the Admin Office Sign beside the Authorised Personnel Only Sign and a few things differ. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 200 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.81 on this page and £5.02 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need it and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £3.81.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

Can the Admin Office Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

Yes. Choose the typesetting option (£15) and send us the words in every language you want on it. That covers one first draft and two rounds of changes. We lay out the text exactly as you supply it but we do not translate, so have the translation done first. Leave the symbol and colours as they are, so the meaning is clear whichever language someone reads. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while a printed item reflects it. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

What if 297 × 100 mm is still too small for the Admin Office Sign?

We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at 297 × 100 mm, and that size costs £4.26 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order.

Could the Admin Office Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. For the door itself, choose self-adhesive vinyl, which suits painted doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Admin Office Sign starts from £3.81.
