Best material to use for printing office signs

We recommend using our Surface Safe® removable adhesive signs and labels for office signs. They’re specifically designed to stick to hard, smooth surfaces securely, yet remove cleanly without leaving residue or causing damage.

In other words, you can use them to post messages on glass, drywall, painted walls, doors, and stainless steel. When it’s time to update a sign, just peel it away. You can even see Surface Safe signs in action in this short video. Then, get started creating your own with our 10 free printable signs that every office needs.

1) Tips for effective hand washing

Properly washing hands greatly reduces the spread of germs, which is especially important during cold and flu season. Use our printable sign with handwashing tips to quickly help employees and visitors learn how to wash their hands more effectively.
