Social Distancing Stickers

In today’s world, managing safe distances between individuals is more than just best practice;  it’s essential. Social distancing stickers provide a clear, visual way to promote personal space and control movement in busy environments. Whether in a retail queue, warehouse floor, school corridor or waiting room, these stickers help reinforce distancing rules consistently and effectively.

What Are They?

Social distancing stickers are adhesive safety graphics used to remind people to maintain appropriate spacing. Often displayed on floors or walls, they support one-way systems, queue control, and separation zones. Because they’re highly visible and easy to apply, they’re a preferred tool in enforcing social safety measures in any public or professional space.

Why They’re Still Relevant?

Although the peak of the pandemic has passed, hygiene awareness and personal space habits continue. Many organisations still rely on social distancing stickers to support health policies, reduce overcrowding, and promote a safer, more organised environment. Moreover, these tools are now considered part of a comprehensive workplace safety strategy, rather than a temporary fix.

Where Are Social Distancing Stickers Used?

Because these stickers are so versatile, they are widely used across many sectors. Common settings include:

• Hospitals and GP surgeries
• Supermarkets and retail stores
• Restaurants and food service counters
• Offices, banks, and reception areas
• Construction site welfare units
• Schools, nurseries, and colleges

By placing social distancing stickers in entrances, near lifts, corridors, or queues, you can ensure consistent guidance throughout the entire premises.

Easy to Install, Easier to Understand

These self-adhesive signs are quick to apply and don’t require tools. Most importantly, their bold colours and universally recognised graphics make them easy to follow – even from a distance. They can also be removed without damaging flooring, making them ideal for both temporary and permanent applications.

Types of Stickers

We offer a wide range of social distancing stickers to suit your space and safety protocols:

• Round/ Circular: Often printed with “Please Wait Here” or “Keep 2m Apart”
• Directional Arrows: Indicate flow of movement or exit routes
• Footprint Markers: Show where to stand to maintain safe spacing
• Wall or Window Stickers: Provide instructions without floor use

Anti-Slip and Durable Materials

All floor-based social distancing stickers are produced with an anti-slip laminate to ensure safety in high-traffic zones. They are suitable for most smooth indoor floors and can withstand cleaning, footfall, and regular use.

Material and Adhesive Options

We offer stickers in:

• Standard adhesive for clean, smooth floors
• Strong adhesive for rougher or high-traffic surfaces

Our production uses UV-stable inks and quality vinyl to prevent fading and ensure clarity over time. In addition, outdoor options are available for entrances or queuing outside your premises.

Custom Sizes and Messaging

Do you need something more tailored? EU Signs provides custom printed social distancing stickers with your preferred size, shape, language, or branding. From corporate logos to dual-language text, our team can design and deliver stickers that match your exact needs.

We also offer same-day artwork assistance and fast turnaround options. Contact our team for help with your custom sticker requirements.

Supporting Workplace Compliance

UK employers are required to maintain safe working environments under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Though government-enforced distancing may have relaxed, many businesses have chosen to continue applying clear signage to demonstrate diligence and care.

Using social distancing stickers is a proactive step in supporting your health and safety policies. When combined with other signage – such as hygiene posters and PPE reminders – you reinforce a comprehensive culture of care throughout your business.

Part of a Broader Safety Strategy

Social distancing is just one piece of the puzzle. Complementing your stickers with health and safety signs helps form a complete and credible safety messaging plan.

Installation Best Practices

Here’s how to get the most from your social distancing stickers:

• Clean and dry the application area first
• Use consistent spacing between stickers
• Combine floor stickers with wall signs for added clarity
• Check wear and replace stickers if text becomes unreadable

Many clients also apply directional arrows to manage traffic flow; particularly in tight spaces like corridors, toilets, and doorways.

Benefiting Industries!

Almost every sector finds value in using social distancing stickers:

• Retail: To reduce crowding at checkouts and aisles
• Hospitality: Helping diners and guests keep a safe distance
• Healthcare: Creating safe zones in waiting areas
• Education: Managing pupil and staff movement in schools
• Offices: Defining shared spaces like kitchens and lift areas

Because they are visual and immediate, social distancing stickers work well even in fast-paced or multilingual environments.
