Mixed Glass Recycling Sign Printing in Manchester

from £26.82

Glass is heavy, noisy and easy to mix up with everything else at the end of a long shift. A clear label in the yard means bottles go one place, and the general bins are not full of broken glass.

About this product

"Mixed" tells staff that clear, green and brown glass share one bin.

A Deansgate bar's back yard, Manchester

Imagine a cocktail bar off Deansgate with a narrow back yard holding four wheelie bins. After service, staff carry crates of empties out in the dark. The glass bin needs to be identifiable instantly, under poor light, by someone who started that week. An A3 sign on the wall above it, on Dibond, does the job; A4 on the bin lid alone is too small and gets flipped up out of sight.

The usual mistake is lighting. A perfect sign in a pitch-black yard is invisible. Put it where the yard light falls, or close to the back door.

Glass bins are also where broken glass ends up in the wrong place, so label the general bin as well, so staff never use it for a cracked bottle. Our non-recyclable waste sign is made for that.

Board and size

Back yards are wet, so Dibond is the long-life choice. Foamex works under cover; vinyl fits a smooth bin body. A3 reads from about 12 m; A2, roughly 17 m, suits a large hotel service yard. Prices start at £26.82.

Production takes 5 working days, then delivery by tracked courier normally 1 to 3 working days. Delivery is £7.95 per order, waived over £100 of goods. To add "No ceramics or Pyrex", typesetting is £15 and a person checks it before print. You can collect from our Manchester office at Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, M8 8EB once we email that it is ready. See recycling signs, or choose a size.

We are a Manchester printer with customers all over the UK. Delivery covers Manchester and its suburbs, Trafford Park among them, and the rest of the mainland, and local customers can collect from our Manchester office when the order is ready.

Artwork checkEvery uploaded file is checked by a person for resolution, size and bleed.

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.

SizeCan 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 mixed glass recycling sign printing in manchester.

Does it mean colours can be mixed?

Yes, that is the point of "mixed". Check your collector agrees.

Is A4 enough for a bin?

On the wall right above it, yes. In a dim yard, A3 is safer.

Can I add our venue logo?

Yes, through typesetting at £15. Plenty of Manchester bars do.
