Manufacturers Signs

Wayfinding Signs 

Wayfinding signs are important in a large manufacturing plant for employees and visitors to be properly directed. People use these signs to guide themselves to specific areas like loading docks, storage rooms, production lines, and exits. Appropriately placed wayfinding signs reduce confusion, avoid accidents, and save time by showing a clear path to needed locations. You can personalize designed wayfinding signs to display the layout of your facility so that anyone who enters it will know precisely where they are and how to get to their destination.

ANSI Safety Signs 

Safety is a top concern in any manufacturing setting, and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) safety signs regulate all ways of safety responded to in the facility. These signs indicate the potential for hazards, show safety protocols, and indicate that the facility complies with federal and state governmental set standards. ANSI safety signs come in different forms: machinery signs, chemical handling signs, and personal protection equipment (PPE) requirements, among others. Clearly written, well-designed ANSI safety signs protect both the employee and the company by reducing fines and other costly accidents that may disrupt operations.

Regulatory Signs

Manufacturing facilities must follow a multitude of legal requirements, and regulatory signs help keep your business compliant. Most of the regulatory signs are required by federal, state, or local laws and give directions for parking, speed limits, and smoking areas, among many others. Examples include the OSHA requirements for installed signs around hazardous areas or equipment.

Informational signs

In a manufacturing environment, informational signs perform many functions. These types of signs provide information to workers and visitors that is essential for understanding processes and procedures. They should be in employee lunch or break rooms, near major machinery and entryways, and their purpose is to display reminders of key procedures that should be followed, such as punching in and out, cleanliness, and caller information for emergencies. Informational signs also serve to indicate areas that require specific actions, such as “Sanitization Required Before Entering” or “Authorized Personnel Only.”

Building Signs

These are needed in a manufacturing facility to determine what building or department you need to find. The most important function of building signs is the identification of the facility to visitors, suppliers, and delivery personnel. Custom building signs for manufacturers are fabricated out of strong materials that will help to withstand the conditions in and outside of the facility. A clearly labeled facility helps internal operations move much more smoothly, while clear recognition is extended externally.
