Directional signs make it significantly easier to organize large corporate events, as they guide guests smoothly from one location to another without confusion or unnecessary waiting in line. A clear signage system reduces the need for staff to guide each guest individually, while also creating a professional first impression of the event. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about ordering event signage, from design to delivery.

How much do directional signs cost for large corporate events?
The price of directional signs for corporate events depends on the number, size, and finish of the signs. A single, smaller sign may cost a few dozen euros, while a larger set with multiple signs and special finishes can cost several hundred euros. The best way to get an accurate price is to request a quote tailored to your specific needs.
Pricing is influenced by the following factors, among others:
- Number and size of signs
- Materials and Finishes
- The Need for Graphic Design
- Delivery Schedule, such as an express order
- Mounting methods and any necessary brackets
When you order multiple signs at once, the unit price usually drops significantly. So it’s a good idea to plan your entire event signage setup at once and order all the signs at the same time. We’ll help you find the right materials for your needs and a cost-effective solution that looks great and will last throughout the event.
What kind of signage is needed for a large corporate event?
A large corporate event typically requires several different types of directional signs, which together form an effective wayfinding system. The most important ones are entrance signs, directional signs in the hallways, room signs, and table signs or numbers for the seating arrangement. In addition, restroom signs and outdoor signs are often necessary.
Signage for the outdoor area and the entrance
Guests will find it easier to locate the event venue if there are clear signs in the outdoor area, leading from the parking lot and the street all the way to the entrance. These signs should be large enough and placed in visible locations so they can be seen from a distance. Since outdoor event signs are exposed to the elements, this should be taken into account when choosing the material.
Indoor Directional Signs and Room Signs
Indoors, directional signs are needed to guide guests to the coat check, the banquet hall, the buffet table, and other important locations. Room signs clearly indicate which room or space is being referred to. Table signs or numbers are especially useful at seated events where each guest has a reserved seat.
How are directional signs designed to align with a company's brand?
Brand-consistent signage is achieved when the colors, fonts, and logo on the signs adhere to the company’s visual guidelines. A consistent look throughout the event venue strengthens the brand and gives the event a professional feel. A good starting point is to provide us with your existing graphic guidelines or logo, which we’ll use as the basis for our design.
In practice, the process of designing brand-consistent signage proceeds as follows:
- Compile the company's color codes, fonts, and logo files
- Decide what text and any images to use on the signs
- Send us your materials or request graphic design services from us
- Approve the proof before printing
If your company doesn't have ready-made materials or needs an update, we offer graphic design services at a reasonable cost. All our orders include a free proof before printing, so you can make sure the final result looks exactly the way you want it to.

How are directional signs attached and placed at the event venue?
How directional signs are mounted depends on the event location and the type of signs. The most common options are stands on which the signs are placed freely, and wall mounting using tape or adhesive labels. In outdoor areas, separate signposts can also be used. Proper placement is just as important as the sign itself.
Principles of Seating Arrangements at the Event
Always place directional signs at points where visitors need to decide which way to go, such as at intersections, near elevators, and in front of doors. Signs should be at eye level or slightly above it so that they stand out in a crowd. Avoid placing signs in corners or in spots where they can easily be obscured.
Mounting Options for Different Spaces
In rental spaces, drilling into walls is often not allowed, so stands are the most convenient solution. Roll-up banners and floor stands are quick to set up and easy to move as needed. Outdoors, heavier legs or weights keep the stands in place even in windy conditions. We’ll help you choose the mounting method that best suits your event’s needs.
