Most business owners get their raw materials or products from other sources. It is important for them to know that to help their businesses more efficient and manageable, shipping and receiving signs should be posted in their place of business.
These signs are also forms of safety and security measures for the business owners. They show where deliveries or shipments are to be placed or loaded on vehicles. These signs are mostly found at the back of facilities or establishments such as restaurants, health clinics, warehouses etc. Raw materials are usually delivered by the bulk which are unsightly when seen by customers and visitors.
One of the main reasons why shipping and receiving signs should be posted is to create an organized workflow when doing business. This minimizes the chances that businesses will be interrupted while dealing with their clients. Delivery truck drivers will know where to park and unload their goods. This maintains a structured time line in the deliveries and shipments which in effect makes the business more competent in their everyday transactions.
Shipping and receiving signs also help maintain the course of traffic. These signs are often visible to the drivers carrying cargo, thus directing them to take the right roads which make it easier for the other vehicles to bypass them. These also help the drivers get to their destination on time.
Examples of Shipping and Receiving Signs:
Shipping and Receiving designated area for deliveries
All Deliveries in Rear indicates that the receiving area for deliveries is at the back of the establishment
Shipping Department- this is where people can mail or ship their deliveries
Notice: Drivers Chock All Wheels before Loading and Unloading this notice is for drivers to chock or secure the wheels of their trucks before loading or unloading to prevent any accidents and mishaps.
Notice: All Engines Must Be Turned Off During Loading and Unloading this instructs the drivers to turn off the engine before proceeding to deliver goods to minimize the number of vehicular accidents.
These signs are best configured horizontally with an 18"w x 12"h or 24"w x 12"h. Heavy-duty rust-proof aluminum is the material of choice for these signs as they have a long life.
