ADA Signage Requirements
In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Acts (ADA) has strict rules about ADA accessible signage in public buildings such as office buildings, government buildings, and schools. The rules apply to ADA restaurant signs and ADA hotel signs. The objective of these standards is to ensure easy access, consistency, and a positive interactive experience for all persons with disabilities, regardless of what type of public building they visit.
Whether you need wayfinding signage or ADA signage printing for your building’s entrance, elevator, bathroom, or other location, the requirements are quite specific for:
- Braille

- Signage material
- Sing location
- Mounting & installation
At PRI Graphics, we specialize in printing all types of signage and understand the ADA requirements. We can ensure that your ADA printing will be completely compliant.
