Overview

If "Compressed Oxygen" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and compressed oxygen sign printing is what we do. It identifies where compressed oxygen is stored, and you will find it in cylinder stores, workshops, clinics and hospitals.

Boards for compressed oxygen sign printing

Our compressed oxygen sign printing comes on three kinds of board:

  • 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.

Reading the sign

It reads "Compressed Oxygen". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The layout is a yellow triangle above black wording, plus the ISO 7010 W001 symbol (general warning sign).

Where to fix it

On the cylinder store door or cage. Mark the store and the route to it, so the warning is seen before anyone opens a door.

The right size for compressed oxygen 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, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

Match the sign to what is actually stored, and update it if the contents change.

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 both expect areas holding hazardous substances to be marked, so nobody walks in without knowing the risk.

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
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about compressed oxygen sign printing.

Which size of Compressed Oxygen 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), 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 (594 × 841 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 (594 × 841 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Is the symbol on this sign an ISO 7010 one?

Yes: W001, General warning sign. The "Compressed Oxygen" text sits alongside it, and the pictogram is taken from public domain artwork.

Where is the best place to put the "Compressed Oxygen" sign?

Put it on the cylinder store door or cage. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Does the law say I must put up a Compressed Oxygen sign?

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 expect stores and areas holding hazardous substances to be marked. That way people know the risk before they walk in. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions for "Compressed Oxygen".

Will the Compressed Oxygen 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.

Why is the Compressed Oxygen sign in these colours?

A yellow triangle with a black edge always means a hazard is ahead. The "Compressed Oxygen" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Is anything added to the price of the "Compressed Oxygen" sign at checkout?

Only delivery, where it applies. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £5.02 starting price for the "Compressed Oxygen" sign is the full price of the goods. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Compressed Oxygen Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Compressed Oxygen Sign comes to £5.02. 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 £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Compressed Oxygen Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Compressed Oxygen 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 Compressed Oxygen 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, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for a Compressed Oxygen Sign?

Decide by where "Compressed Oxygen" is going and how long it has to last. Staying outside for years, or somewhere busy where it may get knocked? 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, with metal skins, is the tough one. Indoors or under a porch? 3mm Foamex gives a light, smooth board. Going straight onto a door, window or smooth wall? The self-adhesive vinyl sticks flat with no drilling.

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

The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £15.12. 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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Which size of the Compressed Oxygen Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Compressed Oxygen": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. 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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

What message is a Compressed Oxygen Sign giving?

Start with the symbol on "Compressed Oxygen". W001 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for general warning sign, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the warning sign pattern (a black-edged yellow triangle), used to flag up a hazard. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a cleaning cupboard, a pool plant room or a garden centre store.

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Compressed Oxygen Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

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 "Compressed Oxygen" the sizes are A4, A3, A2 and A1. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

Could you price an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign for me?

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

And the largest sign, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?

From £15.12, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £63.13, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40 and self-adhesive vinyl at £15.12. 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 this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Compressed Oxygen Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

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 Compressed Oxygen Sign begin at £5.02, 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 £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Our event is close. Can the Compressed Oxygen Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Compressed Oxygen Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 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.

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

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Can the wording on a Compressed Oxygen Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Compressed Oxygen" 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).

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 A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Compressed Oxygen Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the Compressed Oxygen 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Does the Compressed Oxygen 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, Compressed Oxygen Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Compressed Oxygen 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 Compressed Oxygen 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: Corrosive Sign and Danger Acid 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 Compressed Oxygen 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 £5.02. On its opening option, Compressed Oxygen Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Will a Compressed Oxygen Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Compressed Oxygen"; 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 a Compressed Oxygen Sign?

To mount "Compressed Oxygen" 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.

Does the material change the price of the Compressed Oxygen 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. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Do we legally have to display a Compressed Oxygen Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "Compressed Oxygen". 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. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W001.

Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Compressed Oxygen Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Compressed Oxygen 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.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Compressed Oxygen Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Material choices for Compressed Oxygen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I pay for the Compressed Oxygen Sign 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 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

How do I work out how many Compressed Oxygen signs 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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Compressed Oxygen Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Compressed Oxygen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

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. 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Compressed Oxygen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can the Compressed Oxygen 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. 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Compressed Oxygen Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the Compressed Oxygen 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 A1 (594 × 841 mm), and that size costs £15.12 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Will the Compressed Oxygen Sign cope with steam and splashes in a kitchen or toilet block?

Cafe kitchens, school washrooms and club changing rooms are damp places, so the material matters. Of the options, Dibond is the one to pick: it does not take on moisture, stays flat and wipes down easily. Self-adhesive vinyl also works on tiles or steel if you stick it on while the surface is clean and dry. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent, never bleach or anything abrasive. 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 A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

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

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

Could the Compressed Oxygen 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, Compressed Oxygen Sign starts from £5.02.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "Compressed Oxygen" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry.
