619 apartment-specific evacuation diagrams for Iglu Central Park.

The project in detail
From stacked production batches to installed apartment doors.
Nine photographs follow the program from the production bed through placement checks to diagrams and lift signage installed through the building.
Repeated door angles, packing shots and internal paperwork were removed. Each remaining photograph shows a different stage or sign format from the program.
Project at a glance
One compliance program, resolved apartment by apartment.
Most signage projects repeat one artwork many times. This one reversed that: 619 panels sharing one build specification, with every single panel carrying a different apartment's evacuation diagram and a marked placement.
The lift signage
Silver-matte ACM lift signs with UV-printed lettering, fitted at the building's lift lobbies.
The installation
Every panel's placement was marked in production, so the crew could work door by door through an occupied building without artwork mix-ups.
How it came together
A production and installation system built for 619 unique artworks.
At this quantity the risk is not printing quality — it is putting the right diagram on the wrong door. The workflow was designed around traceability from print bed to apartment door.
Read the four delivery stages
- 1
Artwork control
Each apartment's approved diagram artwork was prepared as its own print file, keyed to its apartment number.
- 2
UV direct printing
The diagrams were UV direct printed onto 3mm matte acrylic panels for a flat, durable, wipeable finish.
- 3
Marked placement
Every panel left production with its placement marked and double-sided tape applied, ready for immediate positioning on site.
- 4
Measured installation
The crew installed door by door across scheduled site days, setting panels to a consistent measured height and position on every door.
Project anatomy
Why UV-printed acrylic and ACM suit door-mounted compliance signage.
Compliance signage lives in corridors and on doors that get bumped, cleaned and used every day. The materials were chosen for flatness, durability and a clean single-piece finish.
UV direct printing
Diagrams were printed directly onto the panel face, so there is no laminate edge or insert to peel, fade or slip out of register.

A rigid, low-glare panel that reads clearly under corridor lighting and wipes clean, cut to a consistent 317mm x 230mm format.

Aluminium composite panels with UV-printed lettering give the lift lobbies a durable metallic-finish safety sign.
View ACM signsMaterial decision
Why single-piece printed panels instead of framed inserts?
Superseded framed diagrams were taken down during the changeover. A single-piece printed acrylic panel has no frame to open, no paper insert to swap loose and no separate glazing to crack — one component per door, fixed flat with double-sided tape.
Framed or slide-in systems still suit buildings that expect frequent diagram revisions. The right format depends on how often the artwork changes and who maintains it.
Budgeting a similar program
What drives the cost of building-wide compliance signage.
Programs like this are priced from the artwork set and the building rather than a per-sign rate card. The main drivers are:
- Total panel count and how many unique artworks the set contains
- Panel size, material and print specification
- Number of levels, doors and lift lobbies, and how they are accessed
- Installation days required and scheduling around building operations
- Removal and disposal of superseded signage
Send the building details and artwork scope for a project-specific quote — a similar building can differ materially in access and sequencing.
Technical detail
The deeper project information, available when useful.
The main story stays visual and easy to scan. Open these sections for the delivered scope, the evidence in the photography and the specifications that still need a site-specific review.
The confirmed scope shown and described on this page includes the following elements.
- 619 UV-printed 3mm matte acrylic evacuation diagram panels, each with a different apartment's artwork
- 28 silver-matte ACM lift signs with UV direct printing
- Placement marking and double-sided tape applied in production
- Door-by-door installation to a consistent measured set-out
- Installation across scheduled site days in an occupied residential building
The photo set documents real production and installation conditions rather than a rendered concept.
- Batched, wrapped panels prepared for delivery
- Finished lift signs before installation
- Diagrams installed across different door and level types
- A measured height check at the lift signage
- Corridor safety signage in place through the building
A comparable building program should be scoped from its own records and site conditions.
- The source and approval of the evacuation diagram artwork set
- Panel size, material and mounting method for the building's doors
- Apartment count, level access and installation sequencing
- Removal or retention of any existing signage
- Building management, resident access and scheduling requirements
Sydney proof · Multi-building capability
One building completed, with a matching program at a second property.
This Iglu installation was completed in Sydney at the Central Park building in Chippendale, and a matching compliance signage program was completed at Iglu's Broadway property. For larger portfolios, Platinum Signs can coordinate production and installation nationally, holding one specification while checking every building's doors, artwork set and access individually.
- One panel specification across the portfolio
- Per-building artwork control keyed to apartment numbers
- Scheduled installation around building operations
Prepare a useful brief
What to send for a building-wide compliance signage program.
Quantity-driven compliance work is scoped from the artwork set and the building, not from a single sign spec.

The artwork set
Confirm who supplies the approved diagram artwork and how each file maps to an apartment or level.
- 2
Door and wall details
Photos of typical doors and mounting surfaces, including any existing signage to remove.
- 3
Counts and locations
Apartment count, lift lobbies, corridors and any back-of-house areas in scope.
- 4
Access and timing
Building management contacts, access windows and whether the building is occupied during installation.
Frequently asked questions
Questions this project usually raises.
Practical answers for building managers and fit-out teams planning compliance signage at scale.
Yes. This project carried 619 different artworks through print and installation by keying every panel to its apartment number and marking each panel's placement in production, so the installation crew never had to interpret which diagram belonged to which door.
Evacuation diagram content and compliance sign-off sit with the building's fire-safety planning. On this project Platinum Signs' scope was production and installation of the approved artwork set — printing each diagram accurately and installing it in the correct location.
The program was installed across scheduled site days in a live residential building. Work was sequenced by level and door, with placements pre-marked so each visit was short, quiet and predictable for building management.
Yes. A matching program was completed at a second Iglu property in Sydney, holding the same panel specification with its own building-specific artwork set. This page documents a Sydney project, not a national rollout — national programs are scoped building by building.
