Overview
This notice sign puts the information right where people are looking for it. Typical homes for it are public buildings, warehouses, shops and offices. Our deliveries sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.
The message
It reads "Deliveries". White lettering on a solid blue panel keeps it clean and easy to read, so the words do the work.
Where it goes
At eye height, right where people have to act on it. Keep all door signs at the same height so people know where to look; 1.4 to 1.7 metres is usual.
The right size for deliveries 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 200 x 50 to about 2 m, 250 x 75 to about 3 m and 297 x 100 to about 4 m. These are door-and-wall sizes, made to be read from a few steps away.
Boards for deliveries sign printing
There is a board for each kind of spot in our deliveries sign printing range:
- 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
Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is plenty; for years outdoors, Dibond is the one.
Door signs are not usually required by law, but they save staff a lot of "where is the...?" questions.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to use a safety sign where a risk cannot be removed or controlled some other way.
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 deliveries 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 |
|---|---|
| 200 × 50 mm | 2 m |
| 250 × 75 mm | 3 m |
| 297 × 100 mm | 4 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about deliveries sign printing.
How big should the Deliveries sign be?
Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Deliveries", 200 × 50 mm for readers up to 2 m away, 250 × 75 mm for readers up to 3 m away and 297 × 100 mm for readers up to 4 m away. Those distances assume ordinary light, so if it is gloomy or people are driving past, step up one size.
Is there a standard pictogram that says "Deliveries"?
Not one that fits this wording, so the "Deliveries" sign is a text-only design: white lettering on a blue panel.
Where should the "Deliveries" message go so people act on it?
The right place is on or beside the door, desk or area it names, at eye level. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.
Am I legally required to display "Deliveries"?
Door and information signs are not required by law in themselves. They help visitors find their way and keep staff-only rooms private. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment.
Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?
No. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. The £22.31 starting price for the "Deliveries" sign is the full price of the goods. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
Can I buy more than one Deliveries sign?
Yes, change the quantity before you check out; every sign is made to order. Need a big mix of different signs for a school, club or site? Use the Get a quote page. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
Will the Deliveries 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 Deliveries sign in these colours?
White on blue gives strong contrast for everyday information like room and facility names. This is not a round blue "you must" safety sign, just a clear information panel.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of the Deliveries Sign?
Picked the way the page first loads, with 200 × 50 mm and self-adhesive vinyl, the Deliveries Sign comes to £22.31. 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 £22.31 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Deliveries Sign?
Allow 4 working days on Saver, 2 on Standard or 1 on Express before the Deliveries 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 Deliveries 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.
Which size of the Deliveries Sign can people read from further away?
Rough reading distances for "Deliveries": about 2 m for 200 × 50 mm, 3 m for 250 × 75 mm or 4 m for 297 × 100 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.
Where is the best spot for a Deliveries Sign?
Picture someone arriving at an office, a shop, a school or a club house who needs to see "Deliveries". 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. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
What message is a Deliveries Sign giving?
This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Deliveries", so the text does the talking. The design follows the text sign pattern, used to put a plain written instruction in front of people. Typical spots: an office, a shop, a school or a club house. Word for word, this sign says "Deliveries".
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 "Deliveries" the sizes are 200 × 50, 250 × 75 and 297 × 100 mm.
How much for the biggest size, 297 × 100 mm?
Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £23.82, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £39.46 and self-adhesive vinyl at £50.78. 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. For reference, Deliveries Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being 200 × 50 mm. The live price for the options you choose shows on this page before you add to basket.
How much does a 250 × 75 mm sign cost?
Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £22.98, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £39.46 and self-adhesive vinyl at £50.78. 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 £22.31. For reference, Deliveries Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being 200 × 50 mm. The live price for the options you choose shows on this page before you add to basket.
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 Deliveries 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.
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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
Our event is close. Can the Deliveries Sign be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and the Deliveries 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.
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, this sign costs from £22.31. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 4 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Material choices for Deliveries Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm.
Can I send a Word or Canva file for the Deliveries 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. 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. On its opening option, Deliveries Sign leaves us after 4 working days on Saver.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
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. On its opening option, Deliveries Sign leaves us after 4 working days on Saver.
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 this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.
Can the wording on a Deliveries Sign be changed, or our logo added?
Yes. To reword "Deliveries" 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 200 × 50 mm.
Does the Deliveries 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. Material choices for Deliveries Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
What thickness is the Deliveries 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. For reference, Deliveries Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being 200 × 50 mm.
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: Entrance Sign and Enquiries 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.
Will a Deliveries Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
Rain is rarely the problem for "Deliveries"; 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.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Deliveries 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. Sizes for this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all. On this page, Deliveries Sign starts from £22.31.
What is the easiest way to put up a Deliveries Sign?
To mount "Deliveries" 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 Deliveries Sign?
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. On its opening option, Deliveries Sign leaves us after 4 working days on Saver.
How would I decide between Disabled Access Sign and Deliveries Sign?
Comparing the Deliveries 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.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for this sign is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
Who looks after me once I have bought the Deliveries Sign?
FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Deliveries 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.
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 £22.31. 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?
Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?
Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through 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.
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
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 this sign go from 200 × 50 mm at the small end to 297 × 100 mm, 3 in all.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Deliveries Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £22.31.
Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as 200 × 50 mm. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
What is the safest way to clean this sign?
Treat "Deliveries" 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.
