Ensure New Stock Is Placed Behind Existing Stock Sign in Manchester
This is the loading-side half of stock rotation. Whoever unpacks the delivery sees the instruction at the moment they would otherwise push fresh cases to the front, so older dates sell first and less goes in the bin.

About this product
Aimed at the person unpacking the delivery
Rotation goes wrong at the moment of filling, not picking. A tired shelf-filler on a late delivery drops the new cases at the front because it is quicker. That is the point this sign has to catch, so fix it where the filling happens: on the back wall of a walk-in chiller, on the stockroom door the delivery comes through, or on the shelf edge of the busiest bay.
Staff often hang it in the back office next to the rota. Nobody filling a fridge reads the rota.
A Levenshulme convenience store, Manchester
Imagine a family-run convenience store in Levenshulme with a walk-in drinks chiller fed from the back. An A4 vinyl on the inside of the chiller door faces whoever is loading. A second A4 on Foamex goes above the dairy shelving in the stockroom. For a cash-and-carry loading bay with long aisles, A3 reads from about 12 metres. Dibond only makes sense for an open yard.
Pair it with the picking-side sign that says to pick oldest stock first, so both ends of the routine are covered. Both sit in our warehouse signs section.

What size should I order?
Pick a size people can read from where they will stand. As a cautious rule, using the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, allow roughly 1 metre of reading distance per 25 mm of sign height (measured on the shorter side). Check it against your own risk assessment.
| Size | Can be read from about |
|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 8 m |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 (420 × 594 mm) | 17 m |
Good lighting stretches the reading distance; in dim spots, go a size up.

FAQs
Short answers on ordering ensure new stock is placed behind existing stock sign in manchester.
Will vinyl hold inside a cold chiller?
Apply it when the surface is clean, dry and at room temperature, ideally before the chiller goes back on. Condensation on the panel stops it bonding.
Is this the same as a FIFO sign?
It covers the loading half. A first in first out sign states the whole rule; this one tells the filler exactly what to do.
