Warehouse signs are critical for efficient workflows and employee safety, but most warehouse sign systems are not optimized.
In fact, during a groundbreaking study by the International Journal of Occupational Hygiene, researchers Talab et al. (2013) noted that more than 30% of warehouse signs go unnoticed during the workday. This is a serious problem, but one that is easily addressed with a warehouse sign upgrade.
If you want to maximize productivity and minimize workplace incidents, the B.S.G team is here to help! Read on to learn some simple design tips to increase warehouse sign conspicuity and legibility, and discover why so many local businesses choose our shop to get their sign systems in shape, or call (410)-877-6011 to speak directly with a warehouse sign specialist near you.
Accordingly, if you want to improve warehouse sign conspicuity, you should maximize the contrast between your sign and its background, as we did with this sign for Amazon’s warehouse in Edgewood, MD:
Red text on a light gray background creates highly conspicuous contrast for warehouse signs. Get in touch with our team to explore some other conspicuous color combinations today.
“Signs without supplementary text can cause problems,” write Talab et al. (2013). “For instance, they may not attract adequate attention to themselves.” Symbols without supplementary text can also be somewhat ambiguous, especially for newcomers without a lot of industry experience. Using supplementary text lets you explicitly state the risk and recommended course of action, leaving no room for misinterpretations.
Thus, for best results, workplace safety researchers recommend combining the power of imagery with the power of the written word.
