Overview

Our mixed paper and card recycling sign printing starts with one job: the sign shows what goes in which bin, so recycling and general waste stay apart. It earns its place in site waste compounds, skips, recycling points and bin stores.

Where to fix it

On, or just above, the bin, skip or bay it is about. Put the sign at the bin, not across the room, so people read it as they throw away.

Sizing your mixed paper and card recycling sign printing comes down to distance. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m and A2 to about 17 m. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.

What the sign says

It reads "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.

Mixed paper and card recycling sign printing: choosing the board

There is a board for each kind of spot in our mixed paper and card recycling 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.

In England, Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces now have to keep recycling apart from general waste, and clear bin signs are the cheapest way to make that work.

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. Every mixed paper and card recycling sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. 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.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about mixed paper and card recycling sign printing.

How big should the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling sign be?

Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling", A4 (210 × 297 mm) for readers up to 8 m away, A3 (297 × 420 mm) for readers up to 12 m away and A2 (420 × 594 mm) for readers up to 17 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 "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling"?

Not one that fits this wording, so the "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" sign is a text-only design in the standard blue and white information colours.

Where should the "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" message go so people act on it?

The right place is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Is there a legal rule behind the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling sign?

In England, the Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces must keep recyclable waste apart from general waste. Labelled bins are what make that work day to day. For the "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" sign, how many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment.

Will the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling sign in these colours?

Blue with white is used for general information and site rules. The "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Which size of the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3 or 17 m for A2. 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 A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

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

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A2 (420 × 594 mm) costs from £9.33. 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 A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Where is the best spot for a Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign?

Picture someone arriving at the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats who needs to see "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling". Fix it on the bin or skip itself, or straight above it. 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling", so the text does the talking. The design follows the information sign pattern, used to give people directions or clear instructions. Typical spots: the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats. Word for word, this sign says "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling".

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 "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" the sizes are A4, A3 and A2. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 A2 (420 × 594 mm) layout wants about 4,961 by 7,016 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can the wording on a Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" 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.

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, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Does the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 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: Paper Recycling Sign and Non-Recyclable Waste 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Will a Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling"; 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign?

To mount "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" 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.

Does the material change the price of the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

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. 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

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 £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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.

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

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

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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 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 £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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.

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 A4 (210 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does a Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign come upright or wide?

"Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" is laid out in portrait format, available as A4, A3 and A2. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

What if A2 (420 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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 A2 (420 × 594 mm), and that size costs £9.33 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 A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Could the Mixed Paper and Card Recycling 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, Mixed Paper and Card Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "Mixed Paper and Card Recycling" 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.
