Overview
If "No Dog Fouling" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and no dog fouling sign printing is what we do. It lays down the rule for dogs and other pets, and you will find it in venues, shops, sports grounds, schools and parks.
No dog fouling sign printing: choosing the board
For no dog fouling 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.
Reading the sign
It reads "No Dog Fouling". 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
At entrances and along the paths. Keep them at child height and adult height where both need to read them, for example on a playground gate.
The right size for no dog fouling 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 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.
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.
| Size | Readable 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 dog fouling sign printing.
Which size of No Dog Fouling 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.
Which ISO 7010 symbol is on the No Dog Fouling sign?
It carries P001 (General prohibition sign) from ISO 7010, printed with the words "No Dog Fouling". The symbol artwork itself is public domain.
Where should the "No Dog Fouling" message go so people act on it?
The right place is at gates, entrances and along the paths people walk. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.
Is there a legal rule behind the No Dog Fouling 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. For the "No Dog Fouling" sign, where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.
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.
How do I put the No Dog Fouling sign up?
The rigid boards arrive without holes. On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post, or cable tie it to a fence. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.
Asked by buyers
How much will the No Dog Fouling Sign set me back?
£27.52 is where the No Dog Fouling 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 No Dog Fouling Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the No Dog Fouling 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.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: 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). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
How big does our No Dog Fouling Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "No Dog Fouling" 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 sizes can the No Dog Fouling Sign be printed in?
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.
What will people understand when they see a No Dog Fouling Sign?
Its job is to stop people doing something: "No Dog Fouling" is laid out as a prohibition sign, built around a red ring with a red bar across it. The picture is P001 from ISO 7010 (general prohibition sign), which gets the point across to visitors who read little or no English. Those colours and shapes come from the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations, which is why they look familiar.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. 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 you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
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; "No Dog Fouling" comes in A3, A2 and A1. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
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? It is charged once per line, not per item, and the option to reuse artwork from another basket item adds no second fee. For big numbers, ask on our Get a quote page. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
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. 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.
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.
How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?
From £54.24, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £54.24, 5mm Foamex at £78.07 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40. 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.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the No Dog Fouling 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.
Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?
Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the No Dog Fouling 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.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
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.
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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Can the wording on a No Dog Fouling Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "No Dog Fouling", 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. 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?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What thickness is the No Dog Fouling 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.
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 Archery Range Sign and Alcohol and Drug Free School 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.
Will a No Dog Fouling Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"No Dog Fouling" 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 No Dog Fouling 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.
What is the easiest way to put up a No Dog Fouling Sign?
It depends what "No Dog Fouling" 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 No Dog Fouling 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.
Do we legally have to display a No Dog Fouling Sign?
Not in every case. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to put up safety signs where a risk is left over once other controls are in place. So whether you need "No Dog Fouling" on display, and where it goes, comes out of your own risk assessment. A sign adds to other safety measures and never takes their place. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference P001.
Can I buy the No Dog Fouling Sign and other products in the same basket?
Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
Who looks after me once I have bought the No Dog Fouling Sign?
You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the No Dog Fouling Sign is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this sign is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?
Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
How do I work out how many No Dog Fouling signs to order?
Start at the gate or front door and walk the route a visitor or a new member of staff would follow. Wherever the message matters and might be missed, it needs a sign: at every way in, on the way up to the danger and wherever the route turns. A big yard, car park or hall often needs several copies, and a sign read from further off should be larger. Identical signs can share one basket line with a quantity; give a different size or material its own line. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Does a No Dog Fouling Sign come upright or wide?
Portrait. "No Dog Fouling" 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.
Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?
Foamex and Correx cut cleanly with a sharp craft knife run along a metal rule: score it a few times, then cut or snap along the line. Dibond is aluminium on both faces, so use a fine-tooth saw and take it slowly. Holes for screws or ties can be made with a normal drill bit at low speed; keep each hole 10 mm or more in from the edge. Trimming eats into the bleed area, so leave room in the design if you plan to trim anything off. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Could the No Dog Fouling 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.
