Overview
If "Paper Waste" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and paper waste sign printing is what we do. It shows what goes in which bin, so recycling and general waste stay apart, and you will find it in site waste compounds, skips, recycling points and bin stores.
What the sign says
It reads "Paper Waste". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.
Where it goes
On, or just above, the bin, skip or bay it is about. Fix a sign on or right above each skip or bay so it is read at the moment the waste goes in.
The right size for paper waste 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 A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.
Boards for paper waste sign printing
There is a board for each kind of spot in our paper waste sign printing range:
- 3.5mm Correx, the fluted plastic board: light, waterproof and cheap to replace, which is why it is the site-sign favourite
- 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
Correx for temporary jobs, Foamex for indoors, Dibond for anything staying outside for years.
Mixed skips cost more to empty than separated ones, so clear signs pay for themselves quickly.
Your duty of care for waste comes from the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and keeping skips separated also keeps landfill charges down.
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. Each paper waste sign printing job is printed to order and sent out 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.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about paper waste sign printing.
Which size of Paper Waste sign can be read from across the room or yard?
Measure the distance first, then match it: 12 m calls for A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 17 m calls for A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.
Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Paper Waste"?
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 do I fix the Paper Waste sign?
For "Paper Waste", the usual spot is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.
Does the law say I must put up a Paper Waste sign?
Keeping waste streams apart cuts landfill costs and helps you meet your duty of care for waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Clear skip signs keep each stream clean. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment for "Paper Waste".
Dibond, Correx or Foamex: which is right?
For a temporary job, Correx is the lowest cost and still light and waterproof. For a sign that stays outdoors long term, Dibond aluminium composite is the one. Keep Foamex for sheltered places.
How do I put the Paper Waste sign up?
The rigid boards arrive without holes. On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post, or cable tie it to a fence. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.
Could the Paper Waste sign say something different, or carry our logo?
Yes, we can make it as a custom job. Tell us the text you want in place of "Paper Waste", or send your logo. Use the question box on this page, or the Get a quote page for a bigger job.
Asked by buyers
How much will the Paper Waste Sign set me back?
£26.07 is where the Paper Waste Sign starts, set up as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) and 3.5mm Correx 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).
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 £26.07 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 £26.07. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
If I buy the Paper Waste Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the Paper Waste Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 3 and Saver 5, 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.
How big does our Paper Waste Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "Paper Waste" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 12 m for A3 landscape, 17 m for A2 landscape or 24 m for A1 landscape. 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?
Smallest: A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), from £26.07. Biggest: A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), from £51.39. 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Paper Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
What will people understand when they see a Paper Waste Sign?
Its job is to give people directions or clear instructions: "Paper Waste" is laid out as an information sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "Paper Waste", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at a building job, a house clearance or a community clean-up. Word for word, this sign says "Paper Waste".
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Paper Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
And the largest sign, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm): how much is that one?
From £51.39, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £51.39, 3mm Foamex at £71.71 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £83.74. 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 Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
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 £26.07, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £26.07 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 £26.07. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Could you price an A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) sign for me?
From £34.50, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £34.50, 3mm Foamex at £40.65 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £57.95. 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, this sign costs from £26.07. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 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 Waste" comes in A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
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 Waste Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £34.78 on the opening option rather than £26.07. 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 Waste 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 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
Roughly 9,933 pixels across and 7,016 down for an A1 landscape (841 × 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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can the wording on a Paper Waste Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "Paper Waste", 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
What thickness is the Paper Waste Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
For a rigid sign, the board sets the thickness: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 3 mm and Dibond at 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
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 Active Waste Sign and General Waste 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Will a Paper Waste Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"Paper Waste" 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. Correx is waterproof and happy outdoors for shorter spells. 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What is the easiest way to put up a Paper Waste Sign?
It depends what "Paper Waste" 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: cable ties, or a post, for the Correx board. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Which material is cheapest for the Paper Waste Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35, 3mm Foamex at £31.10 and 3.5mm Correx at £26.07. 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 £26.07. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back.

Can I buy the Paper Waste 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?
Not for a change of mind. This sign is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this sign is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Material choices for Paper Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where this sign will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Paper Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Paper Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
How do I work out how many Paper Waste signs to order?
Start at the gate or front door and walk the route a visitor or a new member of staff would follow. Wherever the message matters and might be missed, it needs a sign: at every way in, on the way up to the danger and wherever the route turns. A big yard, car park or hall often needs several copies, and a sign read from further off should be larger. Identical signs can share one basket line with a quantity; give a different size or material its own line. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Paper Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
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 £26.07. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Material choices for Paper Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Can the Paper Waste Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?
A community centre or a surgery often wants every visitor to understand a notice, and this sign can do that. Tick typesetting for £15, then give us your wording in each language, already translated, since translation is not something we do. You get one first draft and two rounds of changes. Keep the same symbol and sign colours so nobody misreads it. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?
Good contrast, a simple bold typeface and the right size for the reading distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety designs already use the high-contrast colour combinations set out for safety signs. Put it at eye level in good light, away from reflections, and use as few words as possible. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On this page, Paper Waste Sign starts from £26.07.
What if A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Paper Waste Sign?
The size list tops out at A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), starting at £51.39. Anything bigger is priced on request: send the size, the material and how many through our quote form. A board over A0 counts as oversize for delivery, which adds £15 to the order once. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Does a Paper Waste Sign come upright or wide?
Landscape. "Paper Waste" is offered in A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. That shape is made for wide spaces, such as a fence panel, the wall above a door or a long corridor. 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
