Sign Bollard Protection

Signage is extremely important on EV Islands. Whether it is directional signage, informative signage, or just labeling the number charging station, having proper signage is key. It’s even better when the signage can also act as protection like with our Bollard Sign Systems. Match your branding with Bollard Cover and signpost colors.
