Overview

If "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and PPE mandatory symbol sticker printing is what we do. It lists the protective kit people need before they go in, and you will find it in production areas, laboratories, workshops and sites.

Boards for PPE mandatory symbol sticker printing

For PPE mandatory symbol sticker printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

The message

It reads "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers". Blue circle means "you must". It is an instruction, not advice.

Where it goes

At the way in, well before anyone gets near the hazard. Fix them where the rule starts, for example on the door into the area where the kit must be worn.

The right size for PPE mandatory symbol sticker 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 50 x 50 to about 2 m, 100 x 100 to about 4 m and 150 x 150 to about 6 m. These are door-and-wall sizes, made to be read from a few steps away.

Keep the instruction short. People read these in passing, often with their hands full.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 set the look of a "must do" sign: a blue circle with a white symbol or instruction.

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 PPE mandatory symbol sticker 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). Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. 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
50 × 50 mm2 m

150 × 150 mm6 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about ppe mandatory symbol sticker printing.

How far away can each size of these PPE stickers be read?

A 50 × 50 mm sticker is readable from roughly 2 m, 100 × 100 mm from roughly 4 m and 150 × 150 mm from roughly 6 m. Those figures lean on the careful side and assume ordinary lighting, so choose by the furthest point people will read from.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers"?

Not one that fits this wording, so these PPE mandatory symbol stickers are a text-only design in the standard blue mandatory colours.

Where do PPE stickers need to go in a unit or plant room?

On the way in, so people see them before they get anywhere near the hazard. Stand where they will approach from and make sure the sticker is in plain view.

Is there a legal format for PPE symbol stickers?

Yes. Under the Safety Signs and Signals Regulations of 1996, an instruction people must follow is shown in white on a blue circle, and these stickers use that format. Where you actually need them comes out of your own risk assessment.

Which material works best for these PPE mandatory symbol stickers?

Inside, 3mm Foamex is light and quick to put up. Self-adhesive vinyl sticks to smooth doors, glass and machines. If it is going outside, or needs to take knocks, choose Dibond aluminium composite.

What do I need to mount these PPE mandatory symbol stickers?

For a rigid board, either double-sided sign tape or a drill and screws, since boards come undrilled; cable ties work on fencing. Vinyl needs nothing extra: peel and stick onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Can I get this sign with my own words or logo?

Yes. Custom wording or a logo is a separate job. Send the replacement for "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" or your logo file. Use the question box on this page, or the Get a quote page for a bigger job.

What is the delivery time on these PPE mandatory symbol stickers?

Count 4 working days on Standard before it ships, then 1 to 3 working days by courier with email tracking. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Picked the way the page first loads, with 50 × 50 mm and self-adhesive vinyl, PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers come to £3.63. 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 £3.63 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers are 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.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

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 £3.63 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 artwork services are offered with PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

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. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as 50 × 50 mm.

Which size of PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers": about 2 m for 50 × 50 mm, 4 m for 100 × 100 mm or 6 m for 150 × 150 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.

Which sizes can PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers be printed in?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, 50 × 50 mm costs from £3.63; at the top, 150 × 150 mm costs from £4.08. 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.

Where is the best spot for a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Picture someone arriving at an office, a shop, a school or a club house who needs to see "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers". 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.

What message is a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers", so the text does the talking. The design follows the mandatory sign pattern (a solid blue circle), used to tell people something they have to do. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: an office, a shop, a school or a club house.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these signs?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers begin at £3.63, 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 £3.63 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Could you price a 100 × 100 mm sign for me?

From £3.81, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. 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. Before delivery, these signs cost from £3.63.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, these signs cost from £3.63.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these signs 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. Before delivery, these signs cost from £3.63.

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 "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" the sizes are 50 × 50, 100 × 100 and 150 × 150 mm.

And the largest sign, 150 × 150 mm: how much is that one?

From £4.08, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. 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. Sizes for these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 mm, 3 in all.

Our event is close. Can PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £4.83, where Saver is £3.63 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.

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, these signs cost from £3.63.

Can the wording on a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" 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.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

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 these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 mm, 3 in all.

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. Sizes for these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 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. We print these signs on self-adhesive vinyl.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these signs?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So a 150 × 150 mm layout wants about 1,772 by 1,772 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.

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. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as 50 × 50 mm.

Does the PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers come in a peel-and-stick version?

That is the only way it comes: self-adhesive vinyl, delivered 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. Rough brick or dusty surfaces will not hold it well.

What thickness is the PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers, and does it feel sturdy?

It is self-adhesive vinyl, a thin film rather than a board, so it lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Because it follows the surface underneath, a smooth, flat spot such as glass, a door or a painted wall gives the neatest finish.

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: Keep This Area Clear Sign and Stop Safety Glasses Required 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. We print these signs on self-adhesive vinyl.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. The self-adhesive vinyl it comes in does not reflect headlights or glow 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.

Will a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers"; 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. Tell us where it is going in the question box if you want a second opinion on the material.

What is the easiest way to put up a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Fixing "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" is quick. 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.

Where do PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers and the Report Accidents Immediately Sign differ?

Set PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers beside the Report Accidents Immediately Sign and a few things differ. Material: self-adhesive vinyl on this page, against self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 50 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.63 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.

How would I decide between All Visitors Must Wear Personal Protective Equipment Sign and PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Comparing PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers with the All Visitors Must Wear Personal Protective Equipment Sign, this is what changes. Material: self-adhesive vinyl on this page, against self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 50 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.63 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 PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers, or would Stop Safety Glasses Required Sign suit me better?

Set PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers beside the Stop Safety Glasses Required Sign and a few things differ. Material: self-adhesive vinyl on this page, against self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 50 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £3.63 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.

Do we legally have to display a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them.

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

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Sizes for these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 mm, 3 in all.

Can I pay for PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these signs once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these signs cost from £3.63.

How do I work out how many PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers to order?

Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 mm, 3 in all.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will these signs 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. Sizes for these signs go from 50 × 50 mm at the small end to 150 × 150 mm, 3 in all.

What if 150 × 150 mm is still too small for the PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers?

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 150 × 150 mm, and that size costs £4.08 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order.

Does a PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers come upright or wide?

"PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" is laid out in square format, available as 50 × 50, 100 × 100 and 150 × 150 mm. A square layout suits doors, cupboards and small patches of wall. Need an upright or wide version instead? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you.

Could the PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers 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. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in.

What is the safest way to clean these signs?

Treat "PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry. Strong cleaners, solvents and scourers can take the shine off the print or lift it, so leave them in the cupboard. Store spares flat, not leaning, to stop them bowing.
