Number signs

Number signs are used to indicate the number of a house, a letterbox or a parking space. The classic number sign is a plate with a white background and black numbers located on the building’s façade.

Number plates are also often used in warehouses or other locations where shelves or storage locations need to be marked. This makes it easier to quickly find the product or tool being sought.

Number signs – Some examples

Number signs have a variety of uses. Here are some of them:

House numbers

A sign marking the number of a building is probably the most common number sign. These are also sometimes called façade signs, as they are attached to the front of the building.  

Room numbers

In hotels, it is common for rooms to be marked up with number signs. This makes it easier for guests to find their rooms. For conference facilities or small hotels with fewer rooms, it is not uncommon for the various rooms to be given names instead. 

Warehouses

Number signs are common in warehouses. A clearly structured and designed warehouse means the right product can be found fast based on order or product number – an absolute necessity for efficient logistics in larger warehouses. 

Parking spaces

Marking out parking spaces clearly with a number sign makes it easier for drivers to find the right space. One option is also to include the registration plate number on the parking sign. Another option is to mark the parking spaces with the relevant house number, so that visitors can also see where the appropriate place to park is.
