Overview
Outdoor business sign printing without the faff: you choose the size and finish, the price shows as you go, and we print it to order.
Who orders these
Built for shop fronts, office entrances, gates and fences. Shops, salons, offices and workshops use them over the door, in reception or on the gate. Landlords and managing agents use them for building names, unit numbers and directions.
How big?
For outdoor business sign printing: 12 sizes, from A4 up to 1000 × 1000 mm. Stand where your customer stands and ask how far away they are. As a rough guide, letters over a door want to be at least 10 cm tall to read from across the street.
Outdoor business sign printing: what it is made of
It is printed on 3mm Dibond (aluminium composite, the long-life outdoor board). You can also add printing on one side or both, gloss (one side), none or matt (one side), drilled holes for screwing it up and cutting to shape.
Dibond takes screws, rivets or tape and stays flat for years outside. Foamex is lighter and happiest indoors.
Artwork and timing
Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Standard production is 6 working days from when your order and artwork are confirmed. Express gets it done from 5 working days. Saver takes 8 and is there if you are not in a rush. Every outdoor business sign printing order is printed to order and sent straight to you from the UK.
Put up outdoors, a banner, board or flag counts as an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Most small ones need no application, but the council can tell you if yours does.
We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Questions
Quick answers about outdoor business sign printing.
Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?
No. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. The £49.98 starting price for your outdoor business sign order is the full price of the goods. Any delivery charge is shown before you pay.
Will someone look at my file before the outdoor business sign is printed?
Yes. A person checks every file you upload before printing starts, looking at resolution, bleed and whether the text will come out cleanly. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Can I order several signs at once?
Yes. Anything from 1 up to 1,000 is priced on this page. The price per piece usually drops as the number goes up, which helps clubs and shops ordering in bulk. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
Can I check the cost before I order?
It starts at £49.98, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Which sizes can I get an outdoor business sign in?
12 sizes, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm) and going up to 1000 × 1000 mm. Prices start at £49.98 and change with the size you pick.
What is an outdoor business sign made of?
3mm Di-Bond is the material, with the design printed in full colour. It comes in 12 sizes. Prices start at £49.98.
Asked by buyers
How much will Outdoor Business Signs set me back?
£49.98 is where Outdoor Business Signs start, set up as 3mm Di-Bond, A2 · 420 × 594 mm and single Sided 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 £49.98 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. Pick one of the biggest sizes and a one-off £15 oversize charge applies. 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. The biggest sizes of these signs go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
If I buy Outdoor Business Signs today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Outdoor Business Signs are Express 5 working days, Standard 6 and Saver 8, 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.
Do the biggest sizes of Outdoor Business Signs cost more to deliver?
Only the biggest. For Outdoor Business Signs that means 1000 × 1000 mm. Very big items (a banner longer than 3 m on any side, or a board bigger than A0) go with a specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the whole order, however many big items are in it. Everything smaller is sent at the ordinary rate. Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that.
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. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Material choices for Outdoor Business Signs: 3mm Di-Bond.
Could I lay out these signs myself on your website?
Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
How do I choose between the board options for Outdoor Business Signs?
Start with where Outdoor Business Signs will live. The board is 3mm Di-Bond. Outdoors for years: Dibond, an aluminium composite that stays flat and weatherproof. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?
Smallest: A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £49.98. Biggest: 2440 × 1220 mm, from £412.06. 9 more are listed in between, each priced on the cheapest options. Need something in between? Type in your own width and height, anywhere from 100 mm to 2440 by 1220 mm. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
Can I leave these signs outside?
That depends on the board you pick for Outdoor Business Signs. Dibond: yes, for the long term. A laminate on the face adds scuff resistance. Whatever the board, strong sun fades print slowly, so a long-term sign lasts better out of full sun.
How do people usually fix up these signs?
Tick holes drilled in all corners or top corners when ordering Outdoor Business Signs and they arrive ready, so all you add is screws or cable ties. On a wall, use a washer under each screw head and stop before it bites too hard. For smooth indoor walls you would rather not drill, foam tape or adhesive pads do the job.
Is there a minimum quantity for these signs?
The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 1000; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.
And the largest sign, 2440 × 1220 mm: how much is that one?
From £412.06, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.
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 £49.98, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £49.98 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
How much does an A1 (594 × 841 mm) sign cost?
From £75.76, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. 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, these signs cost from £49.98. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
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.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these signs?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 5 working days to get Outdoor Business Signs out, against 8 on Saver, and costs £66.64 on the opening option rather than £49.98. 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.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Outdoor Business Signs 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 these signs leave us after 8 working days; Express brings that down to 5. The biggest sizes of these signs go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these signs?
Roughly 9,606 pixels across and 4,803 down for a 2440 × 1220 mm design, which is 100 dpi. That is plenty for something people read from a few metres away; anywhere from 100 to 150 dpi at full size will do. 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.
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. If you have no file, you can build the design for these signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
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. If you have no file, you can build the design for these signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Material choices for Outdoor Business Signs: 3mm Di-Bond.
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. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Once I finish designing these signs online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.
How do I pick the right lamination for Outdoor Business Signs?
A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. For Outdoor Business Signs the list runs matt (One Side), none or gloss (One Side). Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Can these signs have print on the front and the back?
Yes: set Sides Printed to double sided when ordering Outdoor Business Signs. That is worth it wherever people pass on both sides, for example a board on a school gate facing the road and the playground, or a sign on a stake at a car boot sale. Put the front and back as two pages in one file, and let us know if both sides should match.
Sides Printed on Outdoor Business Signs: how do the choices differ?
One side means the design appears on the front only. Two sides puts print on both faces, handy when people approach from either direction, for example a flag on a pole or a sign that faces two ways. For Outdoor Business Signs the list runs double Sided or single Sided. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Which profile cut would you suggest for Outdoor Business Signs?
The profile cut option has 2 settings: yes or no. A profile cut follows the edge of your artwork, so the board ends up shaped like your design rather than a plain oblong. Put a cut line in your file, or tell us and we will add one. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond. Sizes for these signs go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 2440 × 1220 mm, 11 in all.
Could we put these signs up on a building site or around works?
Yes, fixed to hoardings or cabins. Secure every eyelet or hole with a cable tie and look it over after a gusty spell. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond. A question in the box on this page gets a reply from a real person, not a script.
We have a school fair coming up. Would these signs be suitable?
They work well fixed to railings, fencing, a gazebo or an easel. Outdoors, look at the fixings again if it turns windy. Order with enough time for the making and the courier before the event. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond. 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?
Two good companions for it are Shop Signs and Office Signs. 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. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond.
Could our allotment society put these signs up by the gate?
Gardens are outdoor, muddy and sunny, so with Outdoor Business Signs the board matters more than the design. Dibond is the long-lasting choice for a gate sign. Face a long-term sign away from full sun if you can, as all print fades slowly.
I run a small shop. Would these signs work on the front of it?
Yes. Screwed to the wall or the fascia, a printed board gives a shop a neat, permanent-looking sign. As a guide, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs £75.76. Ask your landlord first, and the local council too if the sign is big or illuminated, as some shop signs need advertisement consent.
Can you explain the drilling setting for Outdoor Business Signs?
The drilling option has 3 settings: top corners, no or all corners. With drilling, the corners arrive with holes already made, so the board can go straight up with screws or cable ties and you never need to get the drill out. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond. Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.
Where do Outdoor Business Signs and Indoor Business Signs differ?
Comparing Outdoor Business Signs with Indoor Business Signs, this is what changes. Material: 3mm Di-Bond on this page, against 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: 11 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 11 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £49.98 on this page and £20.91 on the other. On the Standard service it is 6 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get Outdoor Business Signs, or would Advertising Signs suit me better?
Comparing Outdoor Business Signs with Advertising Signs, this is what changes. Material: 3mm Di-Bond on this page, against 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Di-Bond on the other. Sizes: 11 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 10 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £49.98 on this page and £19.84 on the other. On the Standard service it is 6 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
How would I decide between Shop Signs and Outdoor Business Signs?
Comparing Outdoor Business Signs with Shop Signs, this is what changes. Material: 3mm Di-Bond on this page, against 5mm Foamex or 3mm Di-Bond on the other. Sizes: 11 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 12 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £49.98 on this page and £22.48 on the other. On the Standard service it is 6 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Can I send these signs back if I no longer need them?
Not for a change of mind. These signs are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Sizes for these signs go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 2440 × 1220 mm, 11 in all.
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. Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.
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. The biggest sizes of these signs go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Can I change the material on Outdoor Business Signs?
It is what your design gets printed onto. On Outdoor Business Signs there is no choice to make: 3mm Di-Bond is what we use. Your size, quantity and turnaround settle the final figure. Switch between the options on the page and the total moves with you, so comparing costs is quick.
