Many types of signs are common in today's modern warehouse.
There are the traditional signs for marking different floor storage areas and
for identifying stock, and there are numerous others for promoting safety and creating
an efficient operation.
Dock and Loading Door Signs
Dock signs of the right size, and that use the right
materials, help ensure fast, efficient navigation into loading docks. These
signs are usually constructed using a flat substrate that can be attached above
or to the side of the loading door. A variety of sizes and materials are available
including reflective fields and lettering to improve visibility in low-light
conditions. When combined with directional surface lettering and surface striping,
freight deliveries and handling improve dramatically. Well designed and highly
visible dock signs promote easy, safe navigation in and around the warehouse or
distribution center.
Custom Safety Signs
Safety signage helps to promote an accident-free, safe work
environment. Both standard and custom safety signs can be supplied, and custom
or standard signage can be designed or selected to maximize visibility and to
clearly state warnings, dangers, and advisories. Safety signs can be bilingual with
both English and second-language advisories on the same sign, or you can create
separate signage for each language. In addition, images can be combined with text
to improve recognition and interpretation of important safety messages. While indoor
and outdoor safety signs may have the same message, materials selection and
manufacturing processes for outdoor signage are chosen to minimize
deteriorating effects of temperature, humidity, and UV exposure.
Rack Load Signs
Rack load signs and labels are important for communicating
rack load limits and for promoting safety. These signs provide warnings,
notices, and guidance exactly where needed. The signs and labels are produced
in a variety of materials for interior or exterior use. Rack load signs are
standard in all modern warehouse systems
Aisle Marker Signs
Aisle marker signs have traditionally been attached to rack
ends. However, different custom configurations are available to improve the use
of warehouse space while simultaneously maintaining good visibility and
identification. Surface signs are common, but projecting aisle markers can be
designed for mounting at higher elevations to reduce obstruction and minimize
damage from forklifts or other equipment. A variety of colors and shapes are
available for aisle marker signage, and different substrate materials can be
used for
interior or exterior
applications. Aisle marker designs can also be coordinated with directional and
safety signs to improve messaging
Bar Code and Hanging Signs
Hanging signs are often used to prevent possible damage from
forklifts and other warehouse equipment. Barcode signs are commonly designed
for hanging and are also designed at the right size with contrasting materials
to improve easy location and scanning by readers. Hanging signs can be single-sided,
two-sided, or multi-sided where needed. Color coding can be employed as well as
imaging to assist in quick identification of storage areas. Bar codes can be
generated based on various coding standards, and these can be reproduced at any
size required using environment-appropriate materials and manufacturing
processes. Holes can be pre-drilled and hardware provided dependent on
requirements.
