Bayan Signage makes office door signs for fit-outs across Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman: room names, cabin plates and partition signs that match your brand and survive the next reshuffle. Every sign is cut, printed and checked against your door schedule in our own factory, and slide-in versions come with a template so your office manager can change a name in seconds.
Office door signs identify cabins, rooms and departments, usually with a room name or number and often a person's name and job title. In most UAE offices they go on in the last week of the fit-out, which is why so many end up as a sticker on the glass or a generic acrylic plate. We make them for law firms, consultancies, clinics, government-facing service centres and start-ups, on solid timber doors, fire-rated corridor doors and full-height glass partitions.
An office door sign is also the sign that changes most after handover. People move cabins, get promoted, leave. A system with a fixed panel for the room number and a slide-in insert for the name absorbs those changes for the cost of a sheet of paper; a fixed printed or metal plate needs remaking every time. We decide that with you at the start, size the insert window for your longest name and title in Arabic and English, and supply the template.
Bayan Signage is the production arm of Bayan Advertising, a UAE company with 15 years in the market, and our factory at Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman has been running since 2016. Acrylic and aluminium are CNC-routed to ±0.1 mm, metal plates are laser-cut, prints and vinyl are produced in-house, and the people who make your office door signs are the people who fix them to the doors.

Most offices mix two or three of these: a standard system for every cabin, something more permanent for senior offices, and a simple solution for glass.
Clear, frosted or coloured acrylic with second-surface print, polished edges and your brand colours. The economical default for room names and department doors.
View details →A fixed panel with a recessed window for a printed name strip. Built for cabins with changing occupants; your office manager prints the replacement on the office printer.
View details →Brushed stainless, brass or anodised aluminium with names laser or rotary engraved and paint-filled, for partner and director cabins where the name rarely changes and the finish should feel permanent.
View details →Cut vinyl names on a frosted manifestation band, in your company font. Minimal and economical, and it comes off cleanly when the office moves.
View details →Larger signs for named meeting rooms and boardrooms, often with capacity or a room theme, designed in the same family as the cabin signs.
View details →Status sliders or in-use lights for HR rooms, interview rooms and quiet rooms, so nobody walks into a confidential meeting.
View details →We mark every door on the floor plan, record its type (solid, glass or fire-rated) and the latch side, and list the text for each. On site we confirm the schedule in a free survey in Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman.
Our designers set one layout for the whole floor, then check Arabic names and official Arabic job titles with you. The longest name goes on the approval drawing, so the insert window is proven before cutting.
Acrylic panels and aluminium plates are CNC-routed to ±0.1 mm with polished or radiused edges, stainless plates are laser-cut, and text is UV-printed in one run, so every sign on the floor is identical in size, colour and corner radius.
Text is printed or cut in vinyl in-house, inserts are printed from the template, and each sign is labelled with its door number and checked against the schedule before packing.
Glass and door surfaces are cleaned with isopropyl alcohol so the tape bonds properly. A positioning template sets the same height and offset on every door, and each sign is ticked off the schedule.
Your office manager gets an editable insert template with the right font, margins and Arabic layout, plus blank strips, so a name changes in seconds and still matches.
This is the specification we start from on a typical corporate floor. Your interior designer's finishes take priority, and any change is itemised on the quote.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main panel | 5 mm acrylic, polished edges, second-surface print | Brushed aluminium, stainless, frosted or coloured acrylic | Printing on the back of the acrylic protects the text from cleaning and fingers. |
| Name insert | Paper strip in a recessed window behind a 2 mm lens | Printed film or aluminium strip | A changeable insert saves a new sign every time someone moves cabin. |
| Text | Brand font, 15 to 25 mm names, 10 to 15 mm titles | Engraved and paint-filled, or raised laser-cut acrylic or metal letters | Consistent sizes across the floor make the corridor read as one system. |
| Fixing on glass | Clear VHB tape after an alcohol clean | Stand-offs where holes were planned into the partition | Partition glass cannot be drilled on site, so bonding is the normal method. |
| Glass backer | Matching vinyl patch on the inside face | Full frosted manifestation band | Hides the adhesive and makes the sign look finished from inside the cabin. |
| Fire-rated doors | Adhesive fixing only | Wall-mounted sign on the latch side | Drilling a fire door can affect its rating; bonding avoids the question. |
These are the questions we ask office managers and fit-out contractors before a single panel is cut. The answers decide the system, not the other way round.
In a hot-desking team or a department that reshuffles every quarter, personal names on fixed plates go out of date within months. Use room numbers or functions on most doors, and add names only through slide-in inserts or on senior cabins where occupancy is stable. A good test: if more than a third of the names would change in a year, use inserts everywhere.
A clear acrylic sign on a clear glass partition is almost invisible, because the room behind shows straight through the text. Sit the sign on a frosted manifestation band, usually between 900 and 1,500 mm, or give it an opaque or frosted backing. The band also hides the adhesive and stops people walking into the glass.
Many corridor doors in UAE offices are fire-rated, and screwing a sign through the leaf can compromise the door's certification at the next inspection. We bond signs on rated doors, or move them to the wall on the latch side, and confirm with the fit-out contractor or facility manager before installation.
Perimeter cabins with full-height glazing get strong afternoon sun, and paper inserts fade or yellow within a year. For those doors we use printed film or aluminium strips, or fixed acrylic with UV-stable print. Internal doors along the corridor can keep paper inserts, which keeps the cost down where it does not matter.
Many job titles in government-facing and semi-government offices have an official Arabic form that differs from a literal translation, and Arabic name spellings vary from person to person. We ask for names as they appear on Emirates ID or business cards, and titles from HR, before printing.
We quote from your door schedule, so there is no fixed price list. Send the number of doors, the text or a sample, and a photo of a typical door, and we usually return an itemised quote within 24 hours, with signs and installation shown separately.
Printed acrylic is the most economical. Brushed aluminium and frosted acrylic cost a little more, and laser-cut stainless with raised letters adds noticeably more per sign.
An insert system needs a recessed window and a template, which adds design and machining time but saves the cost of new signs later.
Thirty identical signs are efficient to produce. A different size or layout for each grade or department adds set-up and design time.
Glass doors may need a back patch or manifestation band; solid doors may need screws or stand-offs depending on fire rating and finish.
Fitting during the fit-out alongside other trades is quickest. Returning to an occupied office often means early or late working to avoid disruption.
Indoor office door signs do not normally need a municipality permit. The rules that apply come from the landlord and the building: many managed towers, business centres and free-zone buildings limit drilling into doors or fixing to glass, and fire-rated doors must not be compromised. We check the building's fit-out guidelines and agree fixing methods with your contractor or facility manager before installation.
Offices that receive the public, and buildings designed to the Dubai Universal Design Code, are usually expected to provide high-contrast, non-glare room identification at a consistent height, with signs on the latch-side wall where doors open outward and text large enough to read from the corridor. Requirements depend on the building type, so we confirm what applies to your office at the survey.
CNC-cut acrylic, aluminium, laser-cut steel, UV printing and vinyl are all produced at Alam Square, Ajman. You are welcome to visit while your signs are in production.
Every insert system comes with an editable template and blank strips, so your new names match the originals years from now.
We work from your fit-out drawings and door schedule, coordinate with the contractor, and install alongside other trades before handover.
Arabic names and official titles are checked with you before printing, and Arabic and English are laid out as one design.
Signs, inserts and installation are priced separately, usually within 24 hours, and repeat orders are produced from the artwork we keep on file.
More than 500 clients across the UAE, including national retail groups and international brands, many of them repeat customers.
It depends on the material, the number of doors, whether names change through inserts, and the door types. Printed acrylic signs for a floor of identical cabins cost far less per sign than laser-cut stainless plates in several sizes. Send us the door count, sample text and a photo, and we will send an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
For most offices, acrylic or brushed aluminium. Acrylic takes printed colour well and comes clear, frosted or coloured; brushed aluminium gives a more corporate look. Engraved brushed stainless or brass, or stainless with raised letters, suits senior cabins where names rarely change. The right choice depends on how often names change and on your interior finishes.
Yes, if the signs use slide-in inserts. We supply a template so you can print new names on your office printer and slide them in within seconds. Fixed acrylic or metal signs need a new sign, which we produce from the artwork we keep on file, so the replacement matches the rest of the floor.
Usually with clear VHB tape after cleaning the glass with isopropyl alcohol, with a matching vinyl patch on the inside to hide the adhesive. Stand-offs through the glass are only possible where the holes were planned into the partitions before they were made, because finished partition glass cannot be drilled on site.
On glass doors, the sign usually goes on the door within the frosted band. On solid doors either works, but the wall beside the latch side is often better, because the sign stays visible when the door is open. Accessibility guidance in public buildings generally prefers the latch-side wall.
Private offices can choose, but most organisations that deal with the public, and all government-facing offices, use Arabic and English. We set both scripts as one design, check name spellings and official Arabic titles with you, and keep the same layout across every door.
It depends on the quantity, the materials and how quickly names are confirmed, and we give you a realistic schedule with the quote. Laser-cut stainless, custom shapes and large quantities involve more production steps than printed acrylic. Collecting and checking every name and title is often the slowest step, so it helps to start that early in the fit-out.
Yes. Our crews install across all seven emirates from our factory in Ajman, including Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. The survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, and we can work early or late in occupied offices to avoid disturbing your team.
Send your logo, the fascia size and a site photo. Our estimating team replies with options and an itemised price, usually within 24 hours.
