Overview

Our playground rules in set hours 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 it goes

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 playground rules in set hours 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.

The message

It reads "Playground Rules in Set Hours". Black lettering on white with a border keeps it simple, so the words do the work.

Boards for playground rules in set hours sign printing

There is a board for each kind of spot in our playground rules in set hours 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

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 require employers to use a safety sign where a risk cannot be removed or controlled some other way.

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 playground rules in set hours sign printing.

How big should the Playground Rules in Set Hours sign be?

Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Playground Rules in Set Hours", A3 (297 × 420 mm) for readers up to 12 m away, A2 (420 × 594 mm) for readers up to 17 m away and A1 (594 × 841 mm) for readers up to 24 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 "Playground Rules in Set Hours"?

Not one that fits this wording, so the "Playground Rules in Set Hours" sign is a text-only design in the standard plain black on white colours.

Where is the best place to put the "Playground Rules in Set Hours" sign?

Put it at the entrance to the play area, court or pitch. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.

Does the law say I must put up a Playground Rules in Set Hours 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. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment for "Playground Rules in Set Hours".

How soon will the Playground Rules in Set Hours sign reach me?

Standard takes 3 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Could the Playground Rules in Set Hours sign say something different, or carry our logo?

This one is printed exactly as shown, but a version with your own wording is possible. Tell us the text you want in place of "Playground Rules in Set Hours", plus any logo or site details. Send the details through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and we will quote it.

How do I put the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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 Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A3 (297 × 420 mm) and 3.5mm Correx, the Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign comes to £27.52. 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.

Which size of the Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign can people read from further away?

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 Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Playground Rules in Set Hours", so the text does the talking.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

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.

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. 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, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Can the wording on a Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Playground Rules in Set Hours" 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. 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). Material choices for Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On its opening option, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

What thickness is the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 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: No Dog Fouling Sign and Alcohol and Drug Free School 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.

Will a Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Playground Rules in Set Hours"; 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.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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 this page, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign starts from £27.52.

What is the easiest way to put up a Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign?

To mount "Playground Rules in Set Hours" 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 Playground Rules in Set Hours 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. On its opening option, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

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. 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. On its opening option, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

How do I work out how many Playground Rules in Set Hours 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. 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. On this page, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign starts from £27.52.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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 £27.52. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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. 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. For reference, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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 £27.52. For reference, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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 pay for the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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.

Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need it and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email.

Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

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 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On its opening option, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

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. 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 Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign come upright or wide?

"Playground Rules in Set Hours" 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.

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. On its opening option, Playground Rules in Set Hours Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

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.

Could the Playground Rules in Set Hours 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. Fix it with double-sided foam tape or screws. A 5mm 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.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "Playground Rules in Set Hours" 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.
