Seton's sign buying guide helps you choose the right sign for your facility with 4 simple steps, from planning your message to picking your size, material, and color.

View our Sign Viewing Distance Guide, Material Guide, and Safety Sign Compliance Guide to understand which size and material is best for you, and how you can stay OSHA-compliant.

1. Plan Your Message

Sign message should be clear and concise
Use simple words for better understanding
Use ANSI symbols, pictures, and graphics to help non-English speakers

2. Pick Your Size

10" x 7", 14" x 10" or 20" x 14" are standard OSHA / ANSI sign sizes
Consider the desired viewing distance and number of characters in your sign to determine your sign size
