Reviews
The sign serves its purpose well and was easy to fit to the wall. Delivery was a little slower than anticipated, although the product quality itself is decent.
Good sturdy sign and the print is sharp and professional. It was slightly smaller than I expected, but still perfectly suitable for our PPE area.
Excellent sign quality with a very clear hand protection symbol that is easy to spot around the workshop. Durable material and great value for money.
