Office Signs, ADA Signage, and Trade Show Banners

Three categories beyond name badges: office wall signs (conference rooms, suite numbers, department names) in brushed aluminum or acrylic, ADA-compliant signage with raised tactile letters and grade 2 braille (restroom, suite, exit), and trade show banners in full-color retractable or large-format vinyl.

Yes. Our ADA signage meets the federal ADAAG requirements for raised tactile letters (1/32 inch raised, sans-serif uppercase) and grade 2 braille beneath. State requirements vary; we will confirm specifics for your state before production.

Standard sizes range from 6 by 4 inches (door plates) to 24 by 18 inches (department signs). Custom sizes available. Most common: 8 by 4 inch conference room signs and 12 by 4 inch directional signs.

Retractable banners ship rolled into the metal base and packed in a hard carrying case for travel. Set up at the booth in under 60 seconds by extending the pole and clipping the top of the banner. Reusable across years of events.

Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours from approved proof for most office signs. Large-format trade show banners take 2 to 3 business days. Rush production available.

Yes. All ADA signs ship with mounting hardware (either adhesive backing or wall-mount screws depending on the surface). Installation takes about 5 minutes per sign.

ADAAG section 703.2 specifies that tactile characters be raised 1/32 inch above the sign surface, in sans-serif uppercase font. Character height ranges from 5/8 inch to 2 inches depending on the viewing distance. Character thickness must be no more than 15 percent of the height. Most low-cost sign vendors do not meet these specifications. Inspection-grade ADA signs from NameBadge.com meet all ADAAG requirements.

ADAAG section 703.3 requires grade 2 (contracted) braille below tactile characters, not letter-by-letter braille. Grade 2 is the standard braille format used by blind readers, with contractions and abbreviations for common words. Many cheap ADA-style signs use letter-by-letter (grade 1) braille, which technically fails ADA compliance even though it looks similar. Our ADA signs use grade 2 braille with the correct dot spacing and domed dot profile.

ADAAG section 703.4 requires tactile signs to be mounted between 48 and 60 inches above the finished floor (measured to the baseline of the lowest tactile character). Signs go on the latch side of the door, 9 inches from the door frame. Where there is no wall on the latch side (double doors, alcoves), the sign goes on the nearest adjacent wall. Wrong placement is the most common failure point for otherwise-compliant signs.

Yes. We have produced wayfinding signage for healthcare campuses and university buildings, typically as part of a larger institutional identity refresh that also includes the staff name badges. Wayfinding signs follow the same ADA-compliance standards as restroom and suite signage. For large campus projects, we coordinate with the architect or facilities team on mounting heights, sign placement, and finish consistency across hundreds of installation locations.
