Stop signs manufacturer

It is not everyone that searches on the Internet for a stop signs manufacturer, and yet this is one of the most used road signs in some countries. Any stop signs manufacturer has to comply with legislation regarding the shape, size and colour of the sign, and few people are aware of the reasons why the stop sign is different from any other road sign. Whereas all other road signs are circular, square, diamond shaped or triangular, only the stop sign is octagonal. Whether you’re in Russia, the United States, South America or Singapore, the stop sign is the only sign that is of that shape anywhere. There must be a reason for this – and indeed there is. The Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals defines the shapes and sizes of various signs, and the Stop Sign convention was defined as being octagonal so that when it was covered with blown snow it could still be recognised as being a stop sign because of its shape. That’s extremely interesting information for someone living in a tropical country, but true none-the-less.
Naturally any stop signs manufacturer would be expected to be aware of the reason why he was producing octagonal stop signs, and indeed we are. Armco Signage was founded in 2008 when Nameplate Centre was taken over and renamed. At the time of the takeover Nameplate Centre was already the leading established stop signs manufacturer in Southern Africa. Today the company manufactures a complete range of road signs, and you can see graphic examples of all of our regular products under the ‘Products’ tab on this website.
