Office Signs That Make Every Visitor Feel Expected

From the sign outside your building to the name on the boardroom door, we design, make and fit office signs that look like they belong together.

Think about the last time you visited an office you'd never been to. Was the entrance obvious? Did reception look like a real business? Could you find the meeting room without asking twice? First impressions in an office aren't made by the people. They're made by the signs, before anyone says hello.

We make custom office signs in our own High Wycombe workshop for businesses across Buckinghamshire, Reading, the Thames Valley and London. Reception logo signs, office door signs and plaques, wall graphics, wayfinding and outside building signs, all designed to match your brand and fitted by one team.

  • One team, one style: outside, reception, doors and walls
  • Free design proof before anything is made
  • Made in-house in High Wycombe, with fitting available
  • Honest timelines that work around office moves and fit-outs

Office Signs for Every Step of the Visit

Intro line: We've organised our office signs the way your visitors experience them: from the car park to the meeting room.

1. Outside Office Signs: Be Easy to Find

If people can't find your entrance, nothing else matters. Exterior office signs tell visitors and couriers they've arrived. We make building name signs, entrance signs, multi-tenant boards for shared buildings, and office building signs that stay sharp in all weathers. Choose brushed or painted aluminium panels, 3D lettering fixed to the wall, or illuminated signs for winter evenings. On a business park or retail unit? A fascia sign above the door does the job.

Best for: building entrances, business parks, shared office buildings and serviced offices.

2. Reception and Office Lobby Signs: Make Your Brand the First Thing They See

Your reception wall is the most photographed, most looked-at spot in your office. A reception logo sign turns it into a statement of who you are. Choose crisp acrylic signs on stand-off fixings, raised 3D letters, a lit logo for real wow factor, or a brushed metal-effect finish for a classic professional look. Add your values, a welcome message or a client logo wall to tell your story while visitors wait.

Best for: receptions, lobbies, waiting areas and boardrooms.

3. Office Door Signs and Plaques: Help People Knock on the Right Door

Clear, smart door signs stop visitors wandering into the wrong room and help new starters settle in on day one. We make office door signs and plaques for meeting rooms, boardrooms, managers' offices, toilets, kitchens, server rooms and stores, all in your brand colours and font.

  • Fixed door plaques: acrylic, aluminium or wood-effect, fixed with tape or screws.

  • Interchangeable door signs: slide-in name inserts, so you can update names and room uses without replacing the sign. Perfect for hot-desking and growing teams.

  • Meeting room signs: give your rooms names that match your brand, then sign them to match.

  • Personalised office door signs: names and job titles for managers, directors and consultants.

Best for: every internal door in the building.

4. Office Directional Signs: Get People From A to B Without Asking

Corridor and floor signs, lift lobby directories and "this way to" signs make even a large office easy to navigate. For complete systems across a whole building, see our directional signs for your office.

5. Office Wall Signs and Graphics: Bring Your Brand Inside

Blank walls are a missed opportunity. Office wall graphics show your mission, values, history or a big bold logo where your team sees it every day, which is great for culture and for impressing clients. We make cut-vinyl lettering, printed wall graphics and full feature walls. See our wall decals, or talk to us about an office interior wall design.

Best for: break-out areas, corridors, meeting rooms, stairwells and open-plan spaces.

6. Glass Manifestation and Window Graphics: Safe, Private and On Brand

Glass walls and doors need markings so people don't walk into them, and the Building Regulations in England expect large areas of glass to be clearly marked. We make frosted manifestation bands, logo dots and privacy film for meeting rooms, all branded to match your office. See our window graphics.

7. Visitor, Safety and Compliance Signs

The signs nobody notices until they're missing: "All visitors must report to reception", fire exits, fire assembly points, first aid, "Staff only", accessible toilets and no-smoking signs. We make them in your office's colours and style, so they're clear without looking out of place.

Office Sign Design Tips From Our Workshop

  • Keep it consistent. Use one font, one colour palette and one material family across every sign. That's what makes an office feel professional rather than pieced together.

  • Contrast helps everyone. Strong contrast between text and background makes signs easier to read for people with sight loss, and for everyone else too.

  • Mount door signs on the latch side, at around 1.4 to 1.7 metres from the floor, so they're easy to see as people approach the door.

  • Use plain, short words. "Meeting Room 2" beats a clever name nobody can find. If you do name your rooms, add a number too.

  • Plan for change. If your teams move around, use interchangeable door signs so you can update them in minutes.

  • Light your logo if your reception has low light or is seen from the street after dark.

Moving or Refitting? Your Office Signage Checklist

Office moves are busy. Here's everything your new office will probably need, so nothing gets forgotten:

  • ☐ Building or entrance sign, and your name on any shared directory board

  • ☐ Reception logo sign and welcome wall

  • ☐ Door signs for every meeting room, office, kitchen, toilet and store

  • ☐ Directional signs for corridors, lifts and different floors

  • ☐ Glass manifestation on glass walls and doors

  • ☐ Fire exit, fire assembly point and first aid signs

  • ☐ "All visitors must report to reception" and "Staff only" signs

  • ☐ Accessible toilet and lift signs

  • ☐ Wall graphics for values, culture or break-out areas

  • ☐ Car park and parking bay signs

Tick off what you need, send us the list and a floor plan, and we'll quote for everything in one go. We'll also plan fitting around your move date, out of hours if needed.

How Much Do Office Signs Cost?

Every office is different, so we quote each project individually. Your price depends on:

  • The number and size of signs: a single reception logo costs far less than a full building package.

  • Materials: printed Foamex and vinyl are the most affordable, while acrylic, metal-effect, 3D letters and lighting cost more.

  • Design: using your existing logo and brand guidelines keeps costs down.

  • Fitting: supply-only is cheapest. Fitting, especially at height or out of hours, adds to the price.

Ordering every sign together is usually the best value, and it guarantees everything matches. Send us your list for a clear, no-obligation quote.

  • Tell us what you need. A list of signs, a floor plan or just a few photos of your office. Not sure what you need? Use the checklist above, or book a free consultation.

15 questions
What signs does an office need?

Most offices need an outside or entrance sign, a reception logo sign, door signs for each room, directional signs if there's more than one corridor or floor, glass manifestation on glass walls and doors, and safety signs such as fire exits and first aid. Our checklist above covers the full list.

Link to this answer
What's the best material for a reception sign?

Acrylic on stand-off fixings is the most popular choice. It's sleek, modern and affordable. For more impact, choose raised 3D letters or an illuminated logo. We'll show you visuals of each option.

Link to this answer
Can my office signs match our brand?

Yes. We use your logo, brand colours and fonts across every sign, so your office matches your website, stationery and vehicles.

Link to this answer
Do you make signs for shared office buildings?

Yes. We make tenant directory boards, door name plates and entrance signs for serviced offices, co-working spaces and landlords.

Link to this answer
What size should an office door sign be?

Most office door plaques are between 150 × 50 mm and 300 × 100 mm, depending on how much text they carry. We'll recommend a size that suits your doors and stays consistent across the building.

Link to this answer
Can I change the names on my door signs?

Yes, with interchangeable office door signs. The name or room insert slides out, so you can update it in seconds when people move desks or roles change.

Link to this answer
How are door signs fixed?

Usually with strong double-sided tape on smooth doors, or with screws or stand-off fixings for a premium look. We'll recommend the best fixing for your doors.

Link to this answer
Where should office door signs go?

On the latch side of the door, or on the wall beside it, at roughly 1.4 to 1.7 metres from the floor, so they're easy to read as people approach.

Link to this answer
Do glass doors and walls in offices need markings?

In England, the Building Regulations guidance (Approved Document K) expects large areas of glazing in busy places to be clearly marked so people don't walk into them. We can make manifestation that's both compliant and on brand. Check with your building manager or fit-out team for your exact requirements.

Link to this answer
How do I make office signs more accessible?

Use strong colour contrast, clear plain fonts, simple wording and consistent mounting heights. For some buildings, tactile or Braille signs may also be needed.

Link to this answer
Do I need permission for an outside office sign?

Small signs at your entrance often don't need consent, but larger or illuminated signs may need advertisement consent from your local council, and shared buildings usually need landlord approval. We're happy to help you check.

Link to this answer
How much do office signs cost?

It depends on how many signs you need, their size, materials and fitting. Send us your list for a clear, no-obligation quote. Ordering everything together usually works out best.

Link to this answer
How long do office signs take?

It depends on the size of the project. We'll give you an honest timeline before you order, and plan production around your move-in or launch date.

Link to this answer
Do you install office signs?

Yes. We can fit your signs, including out of hours to avoid disrupting your team, or supply them ready to fit yourself.
