No Food or Drink Allowed Signs
No Food or Drink Allowed Signs tell staff, visitors and contractors that eating or drinking is not permitted in a controlled area. They help you protect clean workspaces, laboratories, production rooms, stock areas and hygiene-sensitive environments where spillages, crumbs or contamination could create avoidable risk.
Best Places to Fit No Food or Drink Allowed Signs
You should install these signs at eye level beside entrances, doors, shared workstations, clean rooms, packing benches, storage points and staff-restricted areas. Clear placement helps people see the rule before they enter, not after food or drink has already been carried inside.
Viewing Distance Guidance for No Food or Drink Allowed Signs
Choose the larger size where people approach from corridors, open floors or busy routes. Smaller signs work best on doors, cupboards, benches and close-view locations where the reader is usually within 1–3 metres.
| Size option | Typical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 200 mm | Approx. 1–2 metres | Doors, cabinets, benches, close access points |
| H 100 x W 250 mm | Approx. 2–3 metres | Entrances, corridors, restricted rooms, shared work areas |
Behaviour Changes You Can Expect After Fitting These Signs
Once fitted in the right position, the sign gives people a clear instruction before they enter. That helps you reduce casual snacking, drinks on benches, accidental spillages and poor hygiene habits in areas where cleanliness or process control matters.
