Sustainability through innovation
SafeSign photoluminescent signs store the energy from light sources and release the light energy in the dark thanksto the use of 100% environmentally friendly photoluminescent material, free of toxic or radioactive additives andexceeding all required afterglow properties.
SafeSign innovated sign production by replacing the widely used PVC with a modified PET that is fully recyclable. PVC is increasingly banned due to its toxicity and flame resistance, our modified PET can be used safelyanywhere. In addition, SafeSign’s products are UV resistant, unlike PVC which quickly turns yellow. That's why SafeSign offers a 5-year warranty.
SafeSign prints from the back, another innovation, this way the print is protected from environmental influencesand the result is signage with a glossy front. SafeSign signs are always easy to mount thanks to the self-adhesivebacking. All signs are supplied with a protective front foil, which must be removed after mounting.
The most economical signs
The cost of the signs themselves is only a small part of the total cost of your signage. Identification, ordering,transportation, installation and billing usually make up more than 90% of the total expenditure. With an expectedlifespan of 10 to 15 years, you will reduce your expenses and apply an environmentally friendly and safe purchasing policy.
