FAQs

What are your playground signs made from?

The majority of our signs are printed using durable, 5mm thick, outdoor quality plastic panel. It is lightweight and strong. The graphics are bonded directly to the surface of the board so they can’t peel off and the UV curing process means colours stay bright and vivid for years. A small selection of signs are printed onto heavy-duty 10mm plastic panel. For freestanding signs, we usually use a rigid, aluminium laminate material for extra durability.

How long does delivery take?

We make all our school and playground signs to order. Normally, delivery takes up to 10 working days, but if you need something urgently we can often oblige. So tell us when you need it and we will do everything we can to get your signs to you when you need them.

Can my signs be personalised?

Absolutely! We have a design team in house who are happy to make any changes required to customise your signs. Just tell us what you’d like and we will create a proof which we can email to you before the signs go into production. We're happy to include your logo or crest on the design.

Do you supply school and playground signs in other languages?

We are happy to offer any of our signs in Welsh, Irish or another language of your choice. Contact us with the translation and our design team will alter the artwork. You'll see a proof of the final designs before they're sent to print.

Are the playground signs waterproof?

Yes - our plastic panels are fully waterproof and suitable for outdoor use in playgrounds. The inks used are UV-cured to prevent against fading.

How long do the signs last?

With 20 years’ experience we print using class leading, state of the art manufacturing that employs the very latest print technology. All our print carries a 12 month guarantee, though the products are designed to last many years longer.

How do I fix the signs to a wall?

Our wall signs come pre-drilled and are ready to put up using screws, washers and rawlplugs. We recommend signs are fixed to a smooth, sound wall. The fixings we supply include dome-headed stainless steel screws that avoid damaging the panels - please ask if you need these including in your parcel.

Are fixings included?

No, but if you need fixings these can be purchased online in different pack sizes. Fence fixings are aslo available (please check your fence type for suitability).

Do you do post-mounted signs?

Some of our welcome signs and noticeboards can be mounted onto posts. These are generally made from a rigid, aluminium laminate material and supplied with rails on the back, and clamps.

Can I put a sign on a fence?

We generally recommend signs are installed on a smooth, sound wall but smaller signs can be put onto a fence as long as they are well supported and not able to move around in the wind, or be damaged by exposure to harsh weather. You may wish to consider having the signs printed on a more robust material, such as aluminum laminate - ask for more information.
