When it comes to Safety signs in the workplace or public spaces, choosing the right material is key to ensuring their effectiveness, longevity, and visibility. At Southland Supply Group, we offer various materials for safety signs with different durability levels and mounting options to cater to the needs of each facility.
Corflute Safety Signs
Corflute, or corrugated polypropylene, is a fluted plastic that is both lightweight and sturdy. The rectangular flutes throughout the plastic give it extra strength, making it a popular choice in the signage industry due to its affordability, durability, and easy customisation. The features of corflute safety signs include:
• Cost-effective compared to aluminum and Colourbond Steel
• Lightweight and durable
• Good short to medium-term outdoor longevity
• Can be equipped with eyelets for quick mounting and reduced tearing risk
Poly Safety Signs
High impact polypropylene, a lightweight plastic material, is commonly used for signage, displays, model making, packaging, and ID cards. It is tough, rigid, and impact-resistant, suitable for indoor or medium-term outdoor use. The features of poly signs include:
• High-impact resistance
• Lightweight material
• Printable on both sides
• Ideal for indoor use or medium-term outdoor use
Self-Adhesive Safety Signs
These Safety signs are best suited for flat, smooth, and clean surfaces such as glass, tiles, mirrors, and doors. With a strong and permanent bond, self-adhesive safety signs are ideal for indoor use and are known for being:
• High gloss
• Tough, durable, and waterproof
• UV-resistant.
Metal Safety Signs
Metal signs are ideal for outdoor use in areas such as parking lots, traffic spaces, workshops, mine sites, and general outdoor areas. These signs are corrosion-resistant and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them a versatile option for outdoor use. The features of metal safety signs include:
• Ideal for outdoor use including in windy areas
• Good weather resistance
• Increased durability
• Versatility
When it comes to safety signage, it's important to invest in a material that can withstand the environment it will be placed in. To avoid the cost of replacing worn-out or damaged signs, consider the location and conditions of your sign before making a choice.
