Safety signage is governed by standards, not by taste: shapes, colours, pictograms and sizes are prescribed. We produce compliant signage, correctly finished for the environment it will face.
Commissioned work in safety & public-notice signs normally runs from 3 to 14 m², with 7–16 working days in production from approved drawings. The reference range for this technique is CNY 200–1200 per m², quoted itemised. It sits within our Signage & Wayfinding capability, alongside 9 related techniques, and the 4-point deliverable below is what a commission includes as standard.
When safety & public-notice signs is the right answer - and when it is not
Safety and regulatory signage is chosen because it is required - by fire code, by health and safety regulation, or by an insurer - and because the consequences of it being wrong are legal rather than aesthetic. It suits every premises type, and it is one area where compliance is not negotiable in favour of design preference. Shapes, colours and pictograms are prescribed, so the design work is in placement, coordination and consistency rather than in invention.
How the work is actually carried out
We work from the applicable standard for the market the signs are destined for, since the prescribed shapes, colours and pictograms differ between jurisdictions and a compliant sign in one market can be non-compliant in another. The building is surveyed to map escape routes, equipment locations and risk areas, and signage is specified to that survey rather than to a generic kit. Photoluminescent and illuminated variants are selected according to what the escape strategy actually requires. Every sign is supplied with its standard reference so the compliance is auditable.

Reference price bands for Safety & public-notice signs
Indicative only, based on the scope normally quoted for safety & public-notice signs. A firm price follows a site survey and an itemised quotation split into material, labour, finishing, packing and freight.
| Scope | Typical area | Reference total | Unit rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small area | 5–13 m² | CNY 1,000 – CNY 15,600 | approx. CNY 1200/m² |
| Standard area | 13–35 m² | CNY 2,600 – CNY 42,000 | approx. CNY 700/m² |
| Large area | 35 m² and above | CNY 7,000+ | approx. CNY 200/m² |
Build tiers for safety & public-notice signs
Safety & public-notice signs is not one product at one size: the table below is the same scope ladder we quote on, so you can see where your project sits before asking for a price.
| Build tier | Typical area | Production days | What changes at this tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 0.05–1.05 m² | 5–12 | Up to 1.05 m², one substrate and one access setup, 5–12 days in the workshop. |
| Tier 2 | 0.05–1.05 m² | 5–12 | 0.05–1.05 m² across two or more faces, 5–12 days, substrate build-up agreed per location. |
| Tier 3 | 1–8 m² | 7–18 | 1–8 m² across two or more faces, 7–18 days, substrate build-up agreed per location. |
| Tier 4 | 6–30 m² | 12–25 | 6–30 m² across two or more faces, 12–25 days, substrate build-up agreed per location. |
| Tier 5 | 6–30 m² | 5–15 | 6 m² and above, multiple substrate types and phased access, 5–15 days with a join and numbering plan. |

Faults we see most often in safety & public-notice signs
Each of these is a field failure rather than a workshop one, and each is cheaper to prevent at enquiry stage than to correct after installation.
- Applying one market's standard to another, which is the most common compliance failure in signage for exported projects.
- Specifying a generic kit without a survey, so signs are placed where there is wall space rather than where the escape route requires them.
- Buying photoluminescent signs without checking they are certified to the relevant standard, which will not pass an audit.
What to settle before an overseas project starts
| Destination market | Tell us the country the signs are for. Shapes, colours and pictograms are jurisdiction-specific and this is not a detail we can assume. |
|---|---|
| Building survey and escape strategy | Send the escape routes and equipment locations. Signage placement follows the strategy, not the available wall space. |
| Audit requirements | If an insurer or authority will audit the signage, tell us what they require so the documentation matches. |
