What We Did

🏭 Nestlé York – Internal Wayfinding Signage


🔍 Project Overview

As part of a multi-million-pound transformation at Nestlé’s flagship site in York, we were commissioned to design, manufacture, and install a comprehensive internal wayfinding signage scheme.

Over 750 bespoke signs were produced, playing a vital role in improving navigation, reinforcing brand consistency, and meeting sustainability targets across the facility.


📍 Scope & Purpose

  • Simplified navigation across a large and complex site, including:

    • Offices

    • Production zones

    • Visitor areas

    • Communal spaces

  • Enhanced efficiency, safety, and visitor experience through clear, consistent signage.


🌱 Eco-Friendly Focus

Sustainability was at the core of this project:

  • All signage created using eco-conscious materials, including:

    • Recycled or recyclable substrates

    • Low-VOC inks

    • Durable, low-impact laminates

  • Environmentally responsible processes used throughout production and installation.

  • Fully aligned with Nestlé’s sustainability goals.


🧭 Types of Signage Provided

  • Directional Signage
    For corridors, stairwells, and junctions

  • Departmental Identifiers
    Marking office, lab, and operational zones

  • Health & Safety Signs
    Fully compliant with current industry standards

  • Custom-Branded Signage
    Designed to reflect Nestlé’s visual identity while maintaining functionality


Design & Accessibility

  • Fully compliant with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) guidelines

  • Legible fonts, high-contrast colour schemes, and strategic placement ensured maximum readability and inclusivity


📦 Phased Project Delivery

Outcome
