No Smoking No Drinking No Eating Signs
No Smoking No Drinking No Eating Signs are multi-message prohibition signs that help you stop smoking, food and drink in restricted areas. They are useful for factories, kitchens, laboratories, stores and site entrances where hygiene, fire control or contamination prevention matters.
Where No Smoking No Drinking No Eating Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install these signs at entry points, hygiene-controlled rooms, chemical stores, production lines, workshops and clean working areas. Position them before the risk area so people see the restriction before lighting up, carrying food or entering with drinks.
Viewing Distance Guidance For Correct Size Choice
Choose the sign size around how early people need to react. Smaller signs suit doors and close-range access points; larger sizes work better across yards, corridors, warehouses and busy shared workspaces.

|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 125mm | Up to 3 metres | Small doors, cupboards, local workstations |
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Up to 5 metres | Office doors, staff rooms, storage areas |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Up to 8 metres | Workshops, corridors, production entrances |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Up to 12 metres | Warehouses, loading areas, larger rooms |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | Up to 18 metres | Large entrances, open work areas, yards |
| H 841 x W 594 mm | Up to 25 metres | High-traffic buildings, external approaches, wide spaces |
What Should Improve Once This Sign Is Displayed
