Overview
Our printed aluminium signs 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.
What the sign says
It reads "Aluminium Cans Recycling". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.
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.
Before you order printed aluminium signs, think about how far away people will be. 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. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.
Printed aluminium signs: choosing the board
There is a board for each kind of spot in our printed aluminium signs 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.

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 |
|---|---|
| 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 printed aluminium signs.
What size do I need so people can read "Aluminium Cans Recycling"?
Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A4 (210 × 297 mm) covers 8 m, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m and A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.
Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Aluminium Cans Recycling"?
No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual blue and white information layout.
Where do I fix the Aluminium Cans Recycling sign?
For "Aluminium Cans Recycling", the usual spot is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.
Does the law say I must put up an Aluminium Cans 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. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment for "Aluminium Cans Recycling".
What is the delivery time on the "Aluminium Cans Recycling" sign?
Count 4 working days on Standard before it ships, then 1 to 3 working days by courier with email tracking. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
Can I get this sign with my own words or logo?
The listing is printed with the words shown. Send the replacement for "Aluminium Cans Recycling", a logo or site details, and we will price it. Send the details through the question box on this page or the Contact page.
What do I need to mount the "Aluminium Cans Recycling" sign?
For a rigid board, either double-sided sign tape or a drill and screws. Vinyl needs nothing extra: peel and stick onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.
Asked by buyers
How much will the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign set me back?
£5.02 is where the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign starts, set up as A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl 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).
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 £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
If I buy the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 4 and Saver 6, 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.
Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign?
"Aluminium Cans Recycling" might go up at the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Vinyl is a sticker version for glass, doors and smooth paint. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?
Smallest: A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £5.02. Biggest: A2 (420 × 594 mm), from £9.33. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
How big does our Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "Aluminium Cans Recycling" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3 or 17 m for A2. 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
What will people understand when they see an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign?
Its job is to give people directions or clear instructions: "Aluminium Cans Recycling" is laid out as an information sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "Aluminium Cans Recycling", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats. Word for word, this sign says "Aluminium Cans Recycling".
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; "Aluminium Cans Recycling" comes in 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.
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 £5.02, and any bank card will do. 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. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
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. 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.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Aluminium Cans Recycling 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.

On its opening option, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
Roughly 4,961 pixels across and 7,016 down for an A2 (420 × 594 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
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 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, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.
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 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, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.
Can the wording on an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "Aluminium Cans Recycling", 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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
What thickness is the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
The sticker version, in self-adhesive vinyl, is only a film, so it sits flush on a door or wall. Every rigid option measures 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 self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.
Does the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?
Yes: self-adhesive vinyl is one of the material choices, and that version is simply a sticker with a backing to peel off. Use it on smooth things like glass, doors, cupboards, machines or painted plaster. Clean and dry the surface first, then smooth it on working out from the middle. If the wall is rough or dusty the sticker will not grip well, so go for one of the boards. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?
Two good companions for it are Batteries Recycling Sign and Cardboard Recycling 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 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.
Will an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"Aluminium Cans Recycling" 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. 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 self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign in the evening?
Only if a light falls on it. The Foamex, Dibond and vinyl sticker 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 self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What is the easiest way to put up an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign?
It depends what "Aluminium Cans Recycling" 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: two or four holes, then cable ties. Glass and glossy panels: the vinyl version, pressed on after a wipe and a dry. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
Which material is cheapest for the Aluminium Cans 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. For reference, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
How do I work out how many Aluminium Cans Recycling 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Can I buy the Aluminium Cans Recycling 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 £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
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.

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. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?
No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Does an Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign come upright or wide?
Portrait. "Aluminium Cans Recycling" is offered in A4, A3 and A2. 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 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 self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.
Could the Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?
It can, and the vinyl sticker version is the tidiest way to do it on a door or a glass panel. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What is the safest way to clean this sign?
For "Aluminium Cans Recycling", warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and harsh cleaning products, as they can dull the print or lift it. Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Only people who bought the product can review it. Each review is checked against a real order and marked "Verified owner".
We publish every genuine review, good or bad, exactly as it was written. We never edit reviews or choose which ones to show. The only reviews we hold back are spam, abuse, or ones that include personal details like a phone number or email address.
The star rating is the average of every published review. We never pay for reviews or give discounts or gifts in return for them.
Reviews show the reviewer's first name and initial. To have your own review taken down, contact us.
