Information sign
Smoking area signs
Mark where people may smoke with a clear printable sign. Pick "Smoking area", "Designated smoking area", "Smoking permitted in this area", "Smoking shelter" or a sign that asks people to use the bins, each with a white cigarette symbol on a blue panel. A plain text sign is included for mono printers. Every sign comes in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape. Pair it with a no smoking sign on the door so the boundary is clear.

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
- Outdoor smoking spots at workplaces
- Pub and cafe gardens and yards
- Care home and hospital grounds
- Smoking shelters
- Gates and paths that lead to the smoking area
Questions

The sign only marks where you permit it.
Do I also need a no smoking sign?

A4 for most walls and shelters; A3 for gates and fences.
