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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.

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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Canteen Sign begin at £22.31, 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 £22.31 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

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 "Canteen" the sizes are 200 × 50, 250 × 75 and 297 × 100 mm.

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 £22.31. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 4 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Yes. Choose Express and the Canteen Sign can be on the way in 1 working day on the opening option, for £29.74, where Saver is £22.31 and takes 4 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.

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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Yes. To reword "Canteen" 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.

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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

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. 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.

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. Material choices for Canteen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

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. Material choices for Canteen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

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. For reference, Canteen Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being 200 × 50 mm.

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Enquiries Sign and Deliveries 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.

Rain is rarely the problem for "Canteen"; 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.

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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

To mount "Canteen" 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.

Comparing the Canteen Sign with the Disabled Access Sign, this is what changes. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 200 × 50 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £22.31 on this page and £26.33 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.

Taking the smallest size, 200 × 50 mm, as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £50.78, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £39.46 and 3mm Foamex at £22.31. 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 £22.31.

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.

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 this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

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 this sign 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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Canteen Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Canteen Sign. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.

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 £23.82 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.

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 its opening option, Canteen Sign leaves us after 4 working days on Saver.

Treat "Canteen" 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. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
