Home / Signage / Branding / Paddle Signs
Hand-held paddle signs are portable, double-sided signs that let staff move directions, identification or branding wherever the message is needed. Unlike fixed signage, they can travel with greeters, transportation teams, tour leaders and event personnel as routes, groups and operating needs change.
Use matching graphics on both sides so the message can be seen from either direction, or place different information on each face for changing directions, group identification or promotional use.
Durabond construction creates a sturdy sign while keeping the finished paddle light enough for active use at events, transportation facilities and visitor-arrival points.
The six-inch-long contour-cut handle creates a practical grip, while the built-in opening lets staff hang the signs when they are not in use.
The printed paddle is laminated to protect its graphics during routine carrying, deployment and storage. Confirm environmental exposure and the intended duration of outdoor use when requesting a quote.
Print the same message on both sides for visibility from either direction, or use different graphics for separate instructions, destinations or branding. Final artwork and production details are reviewed with the quote.
Repeat the direction, logo or identification so it remains visible to people approaching from either side.
Maximum VisibilityUse each face independently for alternate directions, changing instructions, languages or sponsor branding.
Flexible MessagingHelp guests locate a company, tour, airline, school, event group or designated meeting point.
Custom BrandingThe paddle format works best when the message needs to move with a greeter, guide, event employee or transportation representative rather than remain fixed in one location.
