Overview

Our paper recycling sign printing starts with one job: the sign shows what goes in which bin, so recycling and general waste stay apart. It earns its place in site waste compounds, skips, recycling points and bin stores.

Paper recycling sign printing: choosing the board

For paper recycling 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.

The message

It reads "Paper Recycling". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.

Where to fix it

On, or just above, the bin, skip or bay it is about. Put the sign at the bin, not across the room, so people read it as they throw away.

The right size for paper recycling sign printing depends on the reading distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m and A2 to about 17 m. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.

In England, Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces now have to keep recycling apart from general waste, and clear bin signs are the cheapest way to make that work.

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.

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
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about paper recycling sign printing.

Which size of Paper Recycling sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 8 m calls for A4 (210 × 297 mm), 12 m calls for A3 (297 × 420 mm) and 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A2 (420 × 594 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Paper Recycling"?

No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual blue and white information layout.

Where should the "Paper Recycling" message go so people act on it?

The right place is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Is there a legal rule behind the Paper Recycling sign?

In England, the Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces must keep recyclable waste apart from general waste. Labelled bins are what make that work day to day. For the "Paper Recycling" sign, where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.

Why is the Paper Recycling sign in these colours?

Blue with white is used for general information and site rules. The "Paper Recycling" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Will the Paper Recycling sign survive outdoors?

Yes, if you order it in Dibond, which cope with rain. Foamex is better kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Pick the material in the options before you order.

Asked by buyers

How much will the Paper Recycling Sign set me back?

£5.02 is where the Paper Recycling Sign starts, set up as A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

If I buy the Paper Recycling Sign today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Paper Recycling Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 4 and Saver 6, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for a Paper Recycling Sign?

"Paper Recycling" might go up at the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Vinyl is a sticker version for glass, doors and smooth paint. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Which sizes can the Paper Recycling Sign be printed in?

Smallest: A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £5.02. Biggest: A2 (420 × 594 mm), from £9.33. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Paper Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

How big does our Paper Recycling Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?

Stand where someone first needs to read "Paper Recycling" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3 or 17 m for A2. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Where is the best spot for a Paper Recycling Sign?

Three things to get right with "Paper Recycling". Position: on the bin or skip itself, or straight above it. Visibility: good lighting, and no vans, doors or boxes hiding it. Upkeep: note the location with your risk assessment paperwork, then look now and again to make sure it is still there and legible. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What will people understand when they see a Paper Recycling Sign?

Its job is to give people directions or clear instructions: "Paper Recycling" is laid out as an information sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "Paper Recycling", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats. Word for word, this sign says "Paper Recycling".

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Material choices for Paper Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Could you price an A3 (297 × 420 mm) sign for me?

From £6.45, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £32.83, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58 and self-adhesive vinyl at £6.45. 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can a private person buy a single sign?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £5.02, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?

Yes. Put each sign in the basket with whichever size and board suits its spot, then pay once at checkout. One delivery charge covers the whole order, and it drops to nothing when the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Picking the same board for every sign gives the set a matching look; "Paper Recycling" comes in A4, A3 and A2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

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

Set up the first size, type how many you need next to Add to basket, then go back and set up the next size as another line. Every price you see is for one sign, and the quantity box does the multiplying. Paying for artwork? It is charged once per line, not per item, and the option to reuse artwork from another basket item adds no second fee. For big numbers, ask on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

How much for the biggest size, A2 (420 × 594 mm)?

From £9.33, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £42.91, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17 and self-adhesive vinyl at £9.33. 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Paper Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Paper Recycling Sign out, against 6 on Saver, and costs £6.68 on the opening option rather than £5.02. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Paper Recycling Sign cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

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

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can the wording on a Paper Recycling Sign be changed, or our logo added?

A school can add its crest to "Paper Recycling", a club its badge, a shop its name. Choose typesetting (£15) if you know the words, or design from your brief (£35) if you would like us to lay it out; each comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Have your own finished file? Upload it free and one of our team will look it over. Keep the symbol and safety colours unchanged so the sign still reads the right way. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

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

Roughly 4,961 pixels across and 7,016 down for an A2 (420 × 594 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Paper Recycling Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

The sticker version, in self-adhesive vinyl, is only a film, so it sits flush on a door or wall. Every rigid option measures 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board. Dibond has aluminium on both faces around a plastic middle, so it stays flat and firm but is easy to fix. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Does the Paper Recycling Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

Yes: self-adhesive vinyl is one of the material choices, and that version is simply a sticker with a backing to peel off. Use it on smooth things like glass, doors, cupboards, machines or painted plaster. Clean and dry the surface first, then smooth it on working out from the middle. If the wall is rough or dusty the sticker will not grip well, so go for one of the boards. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

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

Two good companions for it are Aerosols Recycling Sign and Scrap Metal Recycling Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. 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 Paper Recycling Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Foamex, Dibond and vinyl sticker versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will a Paper Recycling Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"Paper Recycling" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. 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 a Paper Recycling Sign?

It depends what "Paper Recycling" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: two or four holes, then cable ties. Glass and glossy panels: the vinyl version, pressed on after a wipe and a dry. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Which material is cheapest for the Paper Recycling Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can I buy the Paper Recycling Sign and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Paper Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Paper Recycling Sign?

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the Paper Recycling Sign is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Paper Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Material choices for Paper Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does a Paper Recycling Sign come upright or wide?

Portrait. "Paper Recycling" is offered in A4, A3 and A2. That shape is made for doors, posts and slim wall spaces. If your spot needs the opposite, pick one of the paid design options and we re-lay it to suit. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Could the Paper Recycling Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, and the vinyl sticker version is the tidiest way to do it on a door or a glass panel. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Foamex and Correx cut cleanly with a sharp craft knife run along a metal rule: score it a few times, then cut or snap along the line. Dibond is aluminium on both faces, so use a fine-tooth saw and take it slowly. Holes for screws or ties can be made with a normal drill bit at low speed; keep each hole 10 mm or more in from the edge. Trimming eats into the bleed area, so leave room in the design if you plan to trim anything off. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Paper Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
