Overview

This prohibition sign spells out the rules or a safety point for a pitch or play area. Typical homes for it are leisure centres, sports clubs, parks and schools. Our no ball games allowed sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

What the sign says

It reads "No Ball Games Allowed". Red ring with a bar through it means "do not". People read it before they read the words. The layout is a red ring and bar, with the wording on a white panel, plus the ISO 7010 P001 symbol (general prohibition sign).

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.

Sizing your no ball games allowed 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 A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.

No ball games allowed sign printing: which material

For no ball games allowed sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • 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

Correx for temporary jobs, Foamex for indoors, Dibond for anything staying outside for years.

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 set the look of a "do not" sign: a black symbol on white inside a red ring with a diagonal bar.

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 no ball games allowed sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "No Ball Games Allowed"?

Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m, A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m and A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.

Which ISO 7010 symbol is on the No Ball Games Allowed sign?

It carries P001 (General prohibition sign) from ISO 7010, printed with the words "No Ball Games Allowed". The symbol artwork itself is public domain.

Where is the best place to put the "No Ball Games Allowed" sign?

Put it at the entrance to the play area, court or pitch. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Does the law say I must put up a No Ball Games Allowed 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 "No Ball Games Allowed".

How do I put the No Ball Games Allowed sign up?

On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Dibond, Correx or Foamex: which is right?

For a temporary job, Correx is the lowest cost and still light and waterproof. For a sign that stays outdoors long term, Dibond aluminium composite is the one. Keep Foamex for sheltered places.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A3 (297 × 420 mm) and 3.5mm Correx, the No Ball Games Allowed Sign comes to £26.07. 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 £26.07 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before the No Ball Games Allowed 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 No Ball Games Allowed 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

Which size of the No Ball Games Allowed Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "No Ball Games Allowed": about 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Which sizes can the No Ball Games Allowed Sign be printed in?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A3 (297 × 420 mm) costs from £26.07; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £51.39. 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

Where is the best spot for a No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

Picture someone arriving at a school, a nursery or a playgroup who needs to see "No Ball Games Allowed". Fix it on gates, doors and the front office, facing people as they arrive. 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What message is a No Ball Games Allowed Sign giving?

Start with the symbol on "No Ball Games Allowed". P001 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for general prohibition sign, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the prohibition sign pattern (a red ring with a red bar across it), used to stop people doing something. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a school, a nursery or a playgroup.

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 No Ball Games Allowed Sign begin at £26.07, 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 £26.07 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. For reference, No Ball Games Allowed Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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 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.

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

From £34.50, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £34.50, 5mm Foamex at £44.82 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £57.95. 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 £26.07. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

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

From £51.39, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £51.39, 5mm Foamex at £83.14 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £83.74. 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, No Ball Games Allowed Sign leaves us after 5 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 "No Ball Games Allowed" the sizes are A3, A2 and A1. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Our event is close. Can the No Ball Games Allowed Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the No Ball Games Allowed Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £34.78, where Saver is £26.07 and takes 5 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.

Can the wording on a No Ball Games Allowed Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "No Ball Games Allowed" 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). For reference, No Ball Games Allowed Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the No Ball Games Allowed 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

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 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.

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

What thickness is the No Ball Games Allowed Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

That depends on the board you tick: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 5 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

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: No Pets Allowed Sign and No Loitering on School Property 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the No Ball Games Allowed Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Correx, Foamex or Dibond 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. 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, No Ball Games Allowed Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Will a No Ball Games Allowed Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "No Ball Games Allowed"; 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. Correx is waterproof and suits temporary outdoor use. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What is the easiest way to put up a No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

To mount "No Ball Games Allowed" 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. The Correx version is simplest cable tied to a fence or fixed to a post. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Does the material change the price of the No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A3 (297 × 420 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35, 5mm Foamex at £30.28 and 3.5mm Correx at £26.07. 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 £26.07. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

Do we legally have to display a No Ball Games Allowed Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "No Ball Games Allowed". 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 P001.

Can I pay for the No Ball Games Allowed 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 £26.07. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

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. 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. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

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 £26.07.

How do I work out how many No Ball Games Allowed 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 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 No Ball Games Allowed 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.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Material choices for No Ball Games Allowed Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Can the No Ball Games Allowed 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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

Does a No Ball Games Allowed Sign come upright or wide?

"No Ball Games Allowed" is laid out in portrait format, available as A3, A2 and A1. 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the No Ball Games Allowed 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 £51.39 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, No Ball Games Allowed Sign starts from £26.07.

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

Foamex can, Dibond will not. A big, thin Foamex board warms up in direct sun and may bow, especially with fixings only at the corners. Dibond has aluminium faces and keeps its shape, so it is the sensible pick for a long-term outdoor sign. With Foamex, more fixings across a flat wall, or a thicker board, helps it stay straight. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
