Exit signs
Use an exit sign to show people the way out. These printable signs are for everyday exits: "Exit", "Way out", "Exit only" and arrows that point left or right. Choose black and white for mono printers or bold red for high visibility. Each is a PDF in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape. These are not emergency exit signs; if you need the green running-person signs used on escape routes, see our Emergency exit signs and our Fire exit signs, which are the right signs for escape routes. Print at actual size and use a rigid sign for permanent use.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Shop doors and checkouts
- Event venues, halls and clubs
- Car parks and one-way routes
- Offices and receptions
- School and community buildings
Questions
Is this the same as a fire exit sign?
No. An exit sign marks an ordinary way out. Fire and emergency exits use their own signs; see Emergency exit signs and Fire exit signs.
Do I need emergency lighting or illuminated signs?
Fire safety law decides that for your premises; we cannot advise. Printable paper signs are not a substitute.
What is the difference between "Exit" and "Way out"?
Both mean the same. "Way out" is the more common UK shop wording.
Which size should I print?
A4 for door level, A3 above doorways where people read from further away.
