Social Distancing Signs

Social Distancing signs can be created from a variety of sign materials. Some materials, however, are more popular than others due to their effectiveness, display options, ease of use, and cost. Here are some popular sign materials used to create social distancing signs:

• Floor Decal - These vibrant, adhesive graphics are durable enough for foot traffic, are semi-permanent, and feature certified slip-resistance. Easily installed on hardwood, tile, laminate, sealed concrete, and other non-porous surfaces. Let customers and others know just where to wait in the checkout queue or the testing line. See below for more information on Floor Decals. Learn More
• Opaque Window Cling - Colorful, adhesive decals that can be printed at nearly any size and placed on a store or shop window, glass door, or just about any other smooth surface. They’re semi-permanent, so window clings can be easily removed when you wish to change out your social-distancing message. Learn More
• A-Frame Sign - You can place our durable plastic A-frames outdoors in just about any condition (they can be used indoors, too). The Standard A-frame comes with permanent decals with your social-distancing messaging placed directly on either side of the frame; our Premium A-frame features plastic inserts that easily slide in and out of the frame These 24 x 36” signs are simple but very effective.

Social-distancing signage can serve to remind customers, employees, and visitors how important it is to remain 6 feet apart as they shop, work, or have to interact with each other. The signs themselves can be placed 6 feet apart to provide highly visible markers, helping eliminate guesswork when estimating distances.

Social-distancing signs can be posted anywhere on your company’s premises, helping to remind customers, employees, and visitors on the importance of social distancing. Prime locations for social-distancing signage can include floors, sidewalks, entryways, doors, storefronts, windows, overhead/hung from ceilings, common areas, and more.

Floors, sidewalks, and streets – pretty much anywhere underfoot – are prime locations for social-distancing signage. With so many of us looking down at our phones while we wait in line at the local grocer’s, hardware store, or health clinic, it’s all too easy to fall into old habits and inch closer to the person in front of us.

Here at Signs.com we can produce floor decals for interior use as well as street & sidewalk decals for exterior use. Let’s take a closer look at each of these social-distancing signage options:

We make our slip-resistant interior Floor Decals (aka “floor stickers” and “floor graphics”) from 3.4-mil adhesive vinyl, so they’re durable but thin enough to not pose a hazard to your customers or workers. Plus, they’re easily installable – onto tile floors, hardwood floors, sealed concrete, laminates, and many other non-porous surfaces. They’re also semi-permanent, allowing for removal after a short period of time.

Need to get your social-distancing messaging across on a carpeted surface? We also produce Custom Carpet Stickers. These very thin (9.4 mil) vinyl graphics will adhere to low-pile carpet. Featuring a protective overlaminate and certified slip-resistant, they can handle foot traffic for up to six months of regular use and won’t leave any residual adhesive when removed.

As the name indicates, our Street & Sidewalk Decals are intended for exterior use – they’re perfect for social-distancing signage on sidewalks, outdoor walkways, streets, parking lots, etc. Due to their aluminum foil base, these decals are abrasion- and weather-resistant, and they’ll work well on unsmooth and uneven surfaces, including: asphalt, brick, concrete, cinderblock, stucco, terrazzo, tile, and others. Installation is easy – press and stick your social-distancing message! Keep in mind that while rolling vehicle traffic (straight forward/backward motion) won’t damage our Street & Sidewalk Decals, stops or turns on the decal can cause permanent damage to them.
