Polycarbonate Signs

FAQs

• What are polycarbonate signs?

  Polycarbonate signs are impact-resistant, heavy-duty signs made from polycarbonate sheets.

  Unlike standard plastic or acrylic signs, they resist cracking, fading, and breaking, making them ideal for industrial environments.

• Can polycarbonate signs be customised?

  Yes! Polycarbonate signs can be tailored to your site requirements:

  • Sizes - from small labels to large wall-mounted signs
  • Messages - custom text, graphics, or company branding
  • Colours - including mandatory, warning, and prohibition schemes
• Where are polycarbonate signs typically used?

  Polycarbonate signs are best suited for tough environments where durability is essential.

  For example:

  • Factories - as they can withstand high-traffic and machinery-heavy areas.
  • Warehouses - because they’re strong enough for forklifts and pallet impacts.
  • Outdoor sites - because they are UV-resistant and weatherproof for all conditions.

  Aluminium signs can also be used in these environments.

• What makes polycarbonate signs more durable?

  The key benefit is the material itself. 

  Polycarbonate is:

  • Impact-resistant - won’t crack or shatter under pressure
  • Weatherproof - resists UV light, rain, and temperature changes
  • Long-lasting - outperforms standard PVC or acrylic signage in industrial use
• Do you stock polycarbonate signs for warehouses?

  Yes! Our polycarbonate signage range includes options designed for warehouses, distribution centres, and storage facilities.

  Pair them with warehouse safety signs or multi-message signs for complete coverage.

• Are polycarbonate signs compliant with UK safety standards?

  All polycarbonate signs from SMI comply with the relevant UK workplace signage standards, including BS EN ISO 7010:2020.

  This ensures safety symbols, colours, and layouts are consistent and legally compliant.
