Clear and effective hospital directionals and exterior signage are essential for ensuring that patients, visitors, and staff can navigate healthcare facilities with ease. At Graphic Impact, we specialize in fabricating high-quality wayfinding signage — both temporary and permanent — with unmatched speed and precision. Most signs are produced in-house within one to two days, allowing hospitals and clinics to respond quickly to changing needs without compromising quality.

Why Hospital Directionals Matter

Hospitals are often large, complex environments with multiple departments, buildings, and entrances. Without clear and consistent wayfinding systems, visitors can easily become confused or stressed — especially in urgent situations. Directional and exterior signage plays a critical role in:

• Reducing Confusion: Clear signage ensures that visitors find their destination quickly, reducing frustration and improving the overall patient experience.
• Improving Safety: Emergency exits, evacuation routes, and restricted areas must be clearly marked for safety and compliance.
• Enhancing Efficiency: Well-planned signage reduces the time staff spend giving directions, allowing them to focus on patient care.
• Strengthening Brand Identity: Professionally designed signage reinforces a hospital’s image and builds trust with the community.

Temporary and Permanent Signage Solutions

Graphic Impact offers both temporary and permanent hospital signage to meet a variety of needs:

• Temporary Signage: Perfect for construction zones, temporary relocations, or special events. These signs are cost-effective, quick to produce, and easy to remove when no longer needed.
• Permanent Signage: Designed for long-term use, these signs are fabricated from durable materials that withstand frequent cleaning, heavy foot traffic, and exposure to the elements.

Whether it’s a short-term solution during renovations or a permanent wayfinding system, our team ensures that each sign is designed with clarity, visibility, and ADA compliance in mind.

Fast Turnaround — Without Compromising Quality

In healthcare, timing is critical. That’s why most of our hospital directionals and exterior signs are completed within one to two days. By manufacturing all signs in-house, we control every stage of production — from design to printing to finishing — ensuring accuracy, consistency, and speed. This capability allows us to respond immediately to urgent requests, such as updated COVID-19 guidelines, new patient intake areas, or emergency directional changes.

Materials and Printing Technology

We use only the highest-quality materials and state-of-the-art printing technology to produce signage that is both visually appealing and long-lasting. Popular options include:

• Aluminum: Rust-proof and ideal for exterior use in all weather conditions.
• Acrylic: Sleek and modern, suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
• Coroplast: Lightweight and cost-effective for temporary use.
• Polycarbonate: Highly impact-resistant and perfect for high-traffic areas.

Our advanced digital printing ensures sharp text, vivid colors, and precise graphics, helping your signage stand out while remaining easy to read from a distance.

ADA Compliance for Hospital Signage

Accessibility is not just a legal requirement — it’s a core part of creating a welcoming healthcare environment. Our hospital directionals and exterior signs can be made fully ADA-compliant, including tactile lettering and Braille for individuals with visual impairments. We ensure all signage meets federal guidelines for font size, contrast, and placement so that every visitor can navigate your facility confidently.

Exterior Signage for First Impressions

Exterior hospital signage does more than provide directions — it’s often the first point of contact for patients and visitors. From monument signs marking hospital entrances to large-scale building identifiers, we create exterior signs that are:

• Highly visible day and night
• Weather-resistant and fade-proof
• Consistent with your brand identity

We also offer illuminated signage options, ensuring visibility in all lighting conditions and improving navigation during emergencies.

Custom Design for Every Facility

Every hospital has unique needs based on its size, layout, and patient population. Our design team works closely with healthcare administrators, facility managers, and architects to create custom wayfinding systems that reflect your hospital’s identity while enhancing navigational clarity. This includes matching your brand’s colors, fonts, and logos to maintain consistency across all signage.

Durability in Challenging Environments

Hospital signage must withstand constant use, frequent cleaning with harsh chemicals, and — for exterior signs — exposure to sun, wind, and rain. We select materials and finishes specifically for these demanding conditions, ensuring your signs remain professional and easy to read for years to come.

Eco-Friendly Printing and Materials

Graphic Impact is committed to sustainable manufacturing practices. We offer eco-friendly materials and printing processes that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing quality. This includes using recyclable substrates, low-VOC inks, and energy-efficient production methods.
