QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Ready-to-show phrases FAQ
How long should a big text message be?
Aim for one to five words when the message must be read from a distance. Use a second line only for an essential detail.
Should I use all capital letters?
Capitals work well for very short labels and signs. For longer phrases, normal title or sentence case can be easier to scan.
Can I customize these phrases?
Yes. Replace names, places, times, directions, and actions so the message matches the real situation.
