Covid-19 Signage Guide - Education & Childcare

COVID-19 Signage Guide: EDUCATION & CHILDCARE



Protect your staff, students and visitors. Signs and Visual Graphics are an important part of germ prevention awareness and education. They communicate the importance of hand washing and cleaning procedures as well as traffic flow and directions to make your business run smoothly and efficiently. From building access signs to safety and social distancing cues SIGNWAVE® has the solutions to keep your business going. As businesses and organisations are reopening, it is important to incorporate custom signs and visual graphics that strike a balance between consistent branding and function. Don’t be stuck with cookie-cutter COVID-19 compliant signage that disrupts your aesthetic. Make sure your essential signage extends the look and feel of your brand. SIGNWAVE® can develop a graphics package based on your business needs PLUS integrate your logo and company colours so you can stay on brand. Take advantage of this opportunity to stand out and build confidence with your customers.
