Clear signage is essential for the smooth, safe and professional operation of any business. Whether you’re guiding visitors through a building, identifying departments, listing tenants or ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, the right signs help people navigate confidently and securely. At Impact Signs, we provide custom-designed information and health & safety signage tailored to your premises, industry and branding. From sleek directory panels to bold safety notices, we create functional, durable and easy—to—maintain signage with expert installation available across Colchester, Essex and beyond.

Directory Signs

Directory signage plays a key role in helping visitors find their destination quickly and without confusion. Whether you’re managing a multi-tenant building, a large office complex or a public venue, these signs must be clear, clean, and flexible enough to change as your layout evolves.

We offer a variety of directory solutions to suit different environments. One popular option is acrylic panel signage. These signs are made using high-quality clear acrylic with text applied in reverse to the rear of the panel, then backed with frosted or coloured vinyl. The process creates a smooth front surface that is easy to clean and protects the graphics from scratches and everyday wear.

The professional finish works perfectly in corporate spaces, healthcare facilities, schools and reception areas. Panels can be wall-mounted, suspended or part of a freestanding unit, depending on your needs and space.

Slatted directory signs are great for information signs that change regularly.

Slatted Systems for Changeable Directories

For buildings with frequently changing information — such as offices with rotating tenants or shared spaces — slatted directory signs offer an excellent solution.

These systems use individual aluminium slats with vinyl lettering mounted within a custom framework. Slats can be swapped or updated without replacing the entire sign, keeping things simple and cost-effective.

They’re ideal for entrance lobbies, commercial complexes, and anywhere else requiring regular department updates, room numbers, or personnel names.

Built to Suit Your Setting

Our safety signs come in various materials and finishes, depending on your environment and the signage used. These include:

• Self-adhesive prints for indoor walls, doors or windows
• Rigid signs made from plastic, acrylic or aluminium composite
• Reflective signs for outdoor or low-light visibility
• Photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) signs for emergency escape routes

We produce all signs in-house using high-quality, durable materials. We can also incorporate your branding or colour scheme, helping your signage fit naturally into your wider environment.

We have signage to cater for all of your health and safety needs.

Sign Fixings and Installation

Most health & safety and information signs are fixed directly to internal walls or doors. We also supply and install posts and brackets for external signage, particularly useful for car parks, delivery bays, and outdoor hazards.

We use strong, secure mounting systems and ensure every sign is appropriately aligned and placed for visibility and compliance. We can visit your site and offer clear, practical advice if you’re unsure what signs you need or where they should be located.

Designed Around Your Business

At Impact Signs, we design signs that do more than convey a message — they represent your business. Whether it’s a polished internal directory or clear site-wide health and safety signage, we ensure every piece is consistent with your branding, easy to read and built to last.

You’ll work with a local, experienced team who can guide you through every stage — from planning and design to production and installation. We offer honest advice, innovative solutions and a personal service tailored to your needs.

We’ve worked with offices, factories, warehouses, schools, surgeries, hospitality venues and more. No matter the industry, we understand what’s required and how to deliver it professionally.
