Signs and Nameplates for Offices, Warehouses and Workstations
Signs and nameplates help clearly identify offices, warehouses, reception areas and workstations. This category is designed for businesses that want to improve wayfinding, communicate important information and organise room identification throughout their facilities.
How can signs and nameplates be used in your business?
Information signage helps indicate directions, room functions or rules for using a particular area. Office nameplates can be installed on doors, at reception desks, along corridors and near workstations. You can also use
badges and badge holders to identify employees and visitors.
Warehouse signage makes it easier to identify zones, shelving units and work areas. Warning signs and safety signage help highlight important messages. Before purchasing, verify the required design, wording, installation location and any specific requirements applicable to your facility.
How do you choose information signs for a specific area?
First, determine the purpose of the sign and the viewing distance from which it needs to be clearly visible. Then compare:
- material and surface finish,
- format, dimensions and shape,
- colour and print type,
- installation method and fixing system,
- indoor or outdoor suitability,
- declared resistance to moisture, UV radiation and external conditions.
For frequently changing messages, consider a solution that allows information to be updated quickly and easily. For permanent signage, material durability, secure installation and compatibility with the mounting surface become more important. Larger messages can also be displayed using
information and display boards.
What is the difference between door signs, self-adhesive signs and workstation signage?
Door signs are primarily used to identify room names, functions or occupants. Self-adhesive signs reduce the need for mounting hardware but require a properly prepared surface. Before installation, check the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the mounting surface and application method.
Workstation signage helps assign spaces, functions or organisational messages. If the sign will be used outdoors or in areas exposed to moisture and sunlight, compare the durability and resistance specifications provided for each product.
How do you choose the right installation method?
The fixing method depends on the surface type, intended period of use and whether the sign may need to be removed later. Determine whether you need a self-adhesive version, a product with mounting holes, or a solution compatible with
fixing accessories.
Not every mounting method is suitable for glass, walls, doors or metal surfaces.
How can you organise signage throughout an entire facility?
Start by creating a list of rooms, workstations, zones and messages. Then standardise formats, colours, naming conventions and installation locations. A consistent signage system reduces the time needed to find information and minimises unnecessary differences between departments.
At Lyreco, you will find signs and nameplates from brands such as Durable, Tarifold and Avery. When comparing products, focus primarily on their intended use, dimensions, material, message visibility and mounting method.
What should you remember before placing an order?
- Measure the available surface and confirm the required format.
- Determine whether the signage will be used indoors or outdoors.
- Verify that the durability and resistance levels are suitable for the installation environment.
- Match the wording, colour and shape to the purpose of the message.
- Check the fixing method and any accessories required.
- For safety signage, confirm the requirements applicable to the intended area of use.
