Wayfinding & Plaques

When you drive down a one-way street, what informs you that you're going the right way? Do you live in the area and know the location? Or perhaps your friend clued you in. Usually, it's the signage and graphics the government have propped up on the roadside that guides you into making the discovery, choosing the correct route and preventing a pesky and unnecessary fine. This concept is well-known among most and wayfinding signage is everywhere, even when you’re not looking for it. However, wayfinding signage isn't just applied on the roads or in the traffic but often in business, commercial and even domestic spaces.

Let’s take a look at what we mean by wayfinding signage. Wayfinding signage combines forms of directional signage and graphics and presents them in a variety of colours, styles and methods to move people in the particular direction you want. One of the most popular items we produce is wayfinding plaques which are the perfect wall-mounted form of signage to inform guests, customers, employees and clients where to go to receive the service they are looking for. It works very well near escalators as it helps navigate the abundance of floors to sort through. However, there are also more creative ways of creating an impact and directing people.

When holding an event, often the venue is unfamiliar to guests making it difficult for them to navigate. By installing aluminium composite panelling on a wall or a large plaque, you can maximise your brand creativity with colour and shape to point people in the direction of your space. This can include text, arrows and even maps to create a professional and well-organised event or exhibition; we also offer a variety of materials from aluminium and vinyl to acrylic.

Your plaque choices are not just limited to directional signage either. You can use plaques to inform or to lay out rules to keep your customers or visitors in check. One of the ways you may see this implemented is in health and safety signage. From emergency exit signage for hospitality, business, and educational spaces to danger signs to prevent injury at construction sites. Is your space a smoke-free zone? Then make it known! Plaques are a great way to keep people safe and maintain order.
