Custom Safety Signs

Because Safety Has No Quitting Time

Custom safety signs identify equipment maintenance requirements, operating instructions and safety instructions. Having those instructions on your equipment or posted in operating areas reminds employees what to do, when. Especially in outdoor or harsh manufacturing environments, safety signs need to be legible after years of abuse. Metalphoto custom safety signs exceed the demands of most operating environments.

MPC’s custom safety signs are designed to last the life of the part to which they are attached. Constructed of Metalphoto® photosensitive anodized aluminum. Metalphoto’s durability comes from its photographic image which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing resistance to corrosion, sunlight degradation, abrasion, extreme temperatures and chemical exposure.

Great Job

MPC took my rough material and did a great job laying it out. They waited until I reviewed the draft and approved it before quickly developing my signs. Thanks MPC.
