Classroom signs are a simple print job that keeps a campus organised. Boldmedia Print Zimbabwe prints classroom signs in one style, with room numbers, names or subjects. We keep the template for new rooms.
Classroom signs identify classrooms, labs, offices and other rooms in a school, usually by number, grade, subject or teacher name. They help new learners, parents and substitute teachers find their way and give a school a consistent, organised feel.
Good classroom signs are robust, easy to read and part of a consistent system across the school, often with changeable inserts so teacher names or grades can be updated each year. Compared with office door signs, they need to stand up to more knocks and handling, and they often include colour coding by phase or block to make navigation easier for younger children.

Supplying measurements
Count the rooms and list the wording for each, noting which signs go on doors and which on walls. Measure any existing sign positions or holders you want to reuse.
Artwork requirements
Supply the school crest and colours as vector artwork, and a spreadsheet of room names and numbers. We design a template and send a proof of the full set before production.
Survey and installation
Signs are fixed with screws or high-bond tape depending on the surface. Installation can be arranged, usually during school holidays or after hours.
Maintenance
Clean signs with a damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents. Keep a stock of blank inserts so names can be updated when staff or grades change.
Frequently asked questions
Can teacher names be changed each year?
Yes, with insert-style holders that take printed paper or card.
Can you include braille or tactile text?
Tactile options can be discussed depending on the sign type and budget.
Can signs be colour-coded by phase?
Yes. Colour coding helps younger learners find their area.
