Overview

Our horizontal ladder instructional sign printing starts with one job: the sign spells out the rules or a safety point for a pitch or play area. It earns its place in leisure centres, sports clubs, parks and schools.

Where to fix it

Where people come into the pitch or play area. Keep them at child height and adult height where both need to read them, for example on a playground gate.

Before you order horizontal ladder instructional sign printing, think about how far away people will be. 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.

Reading the sign

It reads "Horizontal Ladder Instructional". Black lettering on white with a border keeps it simple, so the words do the work.

Horizontal ladder instructional sign printing: which material

There is a board for each kind of spot in our horizontal ladder instructional 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
  • 5mm Foamex, the thicker foam board that stays flatter once you go up to the bigger sizes
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years

Short job, Correx. Indoors, Foamex. Long job outdoors, Dibond.

Many of these rules are not set by law. A clear sign simply makes sure everyone knows what is expected before a conversation is needed.

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.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Every horizontal ladder instructional sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted).

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
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 horizontal ladder instructional sign printing.

Which size of Horizontal Ladder Instructional sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 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.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Horizontal Ladder Instructional"?

No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual plain black on white layout.

Where do I fix the Horizontal Ladder Instructional sign?

For "Horizontal Ladder Instructional", the usual spot is at the entrance to the play area, court or pitch. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Does the law say I must put up a Horizontal Ladder Instructional sign?

No law asks for this one by name: it sets a rule for your own premises. Having it up means nobody arriving can say they did not know the rule. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions for "Horizontal Ladder Instructional".

Can I buy more than one Horizontal Ladder Instructional 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. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?

No. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. The £27.52 starting price for the "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" 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 much will the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign set me back?

£27.52 is where the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign starts, set up as A3 (297 × 420 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).

If I buy the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Horizontal Ladder Instructional 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.

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 £27.52 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 £27.52. On this page, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign starts from £27.52.

Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign?

"Horizontal Ladder Instructional" might go up at a school, a nursery or a playgroup, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Correx is a waterproof fluted plastic suited to short-term jobs outdoors. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

How big does our Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?

Stand where someone first needs to read "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. 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 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

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

Smallest: A3 (297 × 420 mm), from £27.52. Biggest: A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £54.24. 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 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. For reference, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

What will people understand when they see a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign?

Its job is to put a plain written instruction in front of people: "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" is laid out as a text sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "Horizontal Ladder Instructional", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at a school, a nursery or a playgroup. Word for word, this sign says "Horizontal Ladder Instructional".

How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign cost?

From £36.41, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £36.41, 5mm Foamex at £47.31 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17.

For reference, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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; "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" comes in A3, A2 and A1. 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?

Set up the first size, type how many you need next to Add to basket, then go back and set up the next size as another line. Every price you see is for one sign, and the quantity box does the multiplying. Paying for artwork?

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 £27.52, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £27.52 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.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £36.71 on the opening option rather than £27.52. 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 Horizontal Ladder Instructional 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 £27.52. On this page, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign starts from £27.52.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 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, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Can the wording on a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign be changed, or our logo added?

A school can add its crest to "Horizontal Ladder Instructional", 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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What thickness is the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

For a rigid sign, the board sets the thickness: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 5 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, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

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 Keep Dogs on Leads Sign and No Ball Games Allowed 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, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Will a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"Horizontal Ladder Instructional" 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, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Correx, Foamex and Dibond versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

What is the easiest way to put up a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign?

It depends what "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" 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, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Which material is cheapest for the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A3 (297 × 420 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58, 5mm Foamex at £31.97 and 3.5mm Correx at £27.52. 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 £27.52. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign?

The size list tops out at A1 (594 × 841 mm), starting at £54.24. 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 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Does a Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign come upright or wide?

Portrait. "Horizontal Ladder Instructional" is offered in A3, A2 and A1. That shape is made for doors, posts and slim wall spaces. 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 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

It depends on the board. Foamex is foamed plastic, and a large, thin sheet in strong sun can curve, most of all when it is held only at the corners. Dibond sandwiches a core between aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why people choose it for signs that live outdoors for years. If you go with Foamex, fix it flat to a wall along its length or pick a thicker option. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Could the Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, held on with double-sided foam tape or a couple of screws. On a flat door, the 5mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Horizontal Ladder Instructional Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
