Newcastle-based projected signage experts who have worked with major companies including Coca-Cola, Dunbia and MOWI Scotland. Projected Image supplies LED gobo projectors that shine bright health and safety signs onto surfaces, including floors, walls and doors. The image is provided by a glass ‘gobo’ which can be customised for specific health and safety signage needs. “Projected signage tackles many challenges
faced by the food and drink industry. Unlike painted signage and safety markings, projected signs don’t risk producing contaminants, such as paint chips, when cleaned regularly or subjected to heavy footfall and forklift traffic. They don’t fade or harbour bacteria either” says Ian Spoors, MD of Projected Image. On top of enhancing safety, the experts say

Projected signs are also proving to be clearer,
brighter and more consistent than traditional signage, helping businesses reduce ‘sign blindness’ – people involuntarily ignoring

gobos. The low-energy projectors can be installed by qualified electricians in any commercial or industrial environment. “In addition to the health and safety benefits,
there are also cost benefits too, as projected signs provide low maintenance use for up to 50,000 hours. Many companies are finding that projected safety signs are the long-term, low- maintenance solution for safer, cleaner workspaces,” concludes Spoors.
