Signbox relaunch their e-shop with a totally new look website
12 October 2012 – Signbox, one of the UK’s foremost sign manufacturers and winner of the coveted ‘Best Sign Company of the Year’ award for both 2011 and 2012, have re-launched their e-commerce website http://www.signboxshop.co.uk to improve the visitor experience and extend the product offer.
Signbox have successfully positioned themselves as a single point resource providing consultancy, signage strategy, design, manufacture, project management and installation. Part of their portfolio of services is the e-shop to provide customers with 'off-the-shelf’ signage available with a quick turnaround, typically within a few days from placement of order. Signbox took the view from the outset however that ready-made workplace signs do not have to be utilitarian and purely functional – all the products featured including display, health & safety, desk and door, fire escape, paper insert and wayfinding are high quality and aesthetically pleasing, designed to complement the quality of a customer’s own working environment.
Commenting on the relaunch of the e-shop website, Mark Bartlett, Managing Director of Signbox, said, “The new e-shop website is not just a make-over but a totally new site with a striking design that nonetheless has put a premium on simplicity of use.
“Finding the right ‘off the shelf’ workplace signs using the new website could not be easier. We also believe that customers will recognise instantly that what we offer are superior quality workplace signs yet at highly affordable prices”.
The website features a completely new style of fire exit sign, part of a range of safety signs that are EN 7010 compliant. EN 7010 European legislation is currently being adopted by all member states. When EN 7010 comes into effect, any safety signage installed in new projects in workplaces and public areas that do not comply will be illegal.

ISO 7010 – soon to be EN 7010 – replaces the previous British Standard BS 5499, upon which many manufacturers based their safety signage. EN 7010 builds on the British standard, which itself set out to define more clearly the symbols that can be used on signs following a previous EC Directive (92/58/EEC). Safety pictograms have been further refined in a quest to remove any ambiguity that could, in an emergency, cost lives. The legislation is intended to ensure conformity on safety signage across a large part of the globe, creating a ‘universal safety language’ without relying on text. The graphical representation for an escape route in one country will be identical to that in another and understandable by anyone regardless of language or culture.
