Prohibition sign - red circle and bar
No entry signs
A no entry sign tells people they must not go past a point. Pick the wording that fits your door, gate or room: plain "No entry", "Authorised personnel only", "Staff only" and more. Each sign is a PDF in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape, with a black-and-white text version for mono printers. They use the usual red circle-and-bar prohibition look, so they are quickly understood. Print at 100% actual size, then laminate or use a plastic sleeve if the sign will be handled or used outside. The road-style no entry sign (red disc with a white bar) is for private land - not for use on public roads.

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
- Staff-only rooms, stockrooms and back offices
- Plant rooms, server rooms and electrical cupboards
- Site gates and hoardings (use the construction wording)
- Private yards, farms and driveways (the "without permission" sign)
- Private car parks and site roads (the road-style signprivate land only)
Questions
What is the difference between "No entry" and "Do not enter"?
Both mean the same. "No entry" is the usual UK phrase and matches the road sign. Our separate Do not enter page has the "do not enter" wordings, such as "Do not enter - meeting in progress".
Which size should I print?
A5 for a door at close range, A4 for doors and corridors, A3 for gates, fences and site entrances.
Can I use the road-style no entry sign on a public road?
No. It copies the shape of the regulated road sign, so use it only on private land such as a private car park. Public roads need authorised traffic signs.
Will paper signs last outside?
Not for long. Laminate for short-term use, or buy a rigid or vinyl sign for permanent outdoor use.
