Night Glow Safety Signs: Always Visible, Always Safe
Safety signs are designed to save lives, which is why their visibility is absolutely crucial, even in low-light conditions or during power outages. And our Glow-in-the-dark (night glow) prints are essential for this reason. These innovative signboards ensure that critical information remains visible and accessible when you need it most (even in complete darkness).
Think about your last visit to a movie theatre or hotel corridor. You’ll notice emergency exit or fire safety signboards or floor plan prints installed at strategic locations. During the day, these signs look like regular, everyday prints. But when darkness falls or if the power goes out, they start emitting a bright, greenish glow, instantly guiding people to the nearest exits and to safety.
In an emergency like a fire, the power supply is often one of the first things to fail, reducing visibility and making escape routes difficult to find. Electrically-lit signs become useless in the absence of power. And that’s why glow-in-the-dark prints that are immediately visible in the dark and that do not rely on electricity to function are vital.
Night glow prints are primarily used in environments such as factories, office complexes, commercial buildings, hotels, malls, movie theatres and anywhere where safety is a priority.
What makes night glow signs unique is their ability to shine without any electrical power. Coated with special photoluminescent materials, these prints absorb light during the day and automatically glow in dark conditions. This self-sustaining feature makes them invaluable in situations where communication must not fail, even in complete darkness.
So let’s take a look at the product variants for the same, available at our place.

This is our most popular option. We print your artwork on a large 4-foot-wide roll. This flexible media backing also has a sticker back, allowing you to easily stick the print onto any smooth surface, such as a glass panel or a painted wall.
The image is reproduced using weather-proof UV inks. Furthermore, the adhesive underneath is very strong, and once applied, this print will not peel off. This makes our product suitable for exterior use and weather-resistant. It can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
Flexible Sizing: Since the job is produced on a large roll, we can provide you with a print in any size or dimensions you prefer. Whether you need a large safety sign (for example, 4 feet by 6 feet), ideal for hotel or hospital corridors or factory floors, or a small, compact label (as tiny as 2 inches by 3 inches), we can deliver it.
Easy Installation: Every print comes with a powerful adhesive on the backside. Just peel and stick—no mess, no fuss! They adhere perfectly to any smooth surface like walls, glass partitions, or even wooden panels.
Cutting and finishing: If necessary, we will even cut the job into smaller individual rectangular shapes. You will get a finished job that can be instantly deployed.
Exterior grade prints: A key feature of our glow-in-the-dark prints is their strength and durability. We do not use cheap counterfeit or low-quality media. Your job will be reproduced on a branded material (Daoming™) that won’t crease, wrinkle, or crack when exposed to the sun or rain.
Additionally, your image or artwork will be reproduced using exterior-grade UV inks, ensuring that the colours will not bleed or fade when exposed to heat or water. UV inks are dustproof and scratch-resistant. All these features combine to produce a highly durable, outdoor-grade print that can last for years without degradation, even in outdoor settings.

In this variant, the night glow print is mounted on a rigid backing plate. The sticker version mentioned above needs a smooth, flat surface for proper application.
However, sometimes you need your sign to be displayed on a rough or uneven surface. Think concrete walls, textured stucco, or a brick wall. Trying to paste a sticker on these uneven surfaces will only result in an ugly, wrinkled mess! And that’s where our mounted options come in.
Two Professional Backing Plates: To make your installation sturdy and hassle-free, we offer two types of backing plates for our Night Glow prints:
Night Glow Prints Mounted on 5mm thick PVC Sheet (Sunboard Foamsheet)
A neat and clean look: In this variant, the print is backed by a 5mm-thick sunboard sheet. Sunboard is a lightweight, smooth, and rigid plastic sheet. Your night glow print is expertly mounted on this board, giving it a clean, flat, and finished look.
Easy to install: Sunboard is extremely lightweight and can be directly drilled or nailed onto any surface. Alternatively, we can also provide a strong double-sided tape behind the panel, allowing you to peel and stick the sign onto any smooth, flat surface.
Best for indoor use: This option works well for office walls, shop interiors, factory spaces, and anywhere indoors.
Please note: PVC is lightweight and can break if handled roughly—so for heavy-duty places or outdoors, check out the option below.
Night Glow Prints Mounted on 3mm thick ACP Panel (Aluminium Composite Panel)
For a more robust sign, we can also mount the print on a metallic ACP sheet. This material is extremely durable and will last for years and years without degrading. Here are its main features.
Weatherproof: Since ACP is made of aluminium, it doesn’t rust, fade, or degrade even when exposed to rain, sun, wind, or dust.
Durable and nearly indestructible: Unlike PVC, this metal panel won’t crack, dent, or get damaged easily. This makes it perfect for deployment in outdoor locations.
Ideal for outdoor locations: Perfect for outdoor signage such as road direction boards, factory exteriors, public buildings, and any place that faces harsh conditions.

How Do Night Glow Prints Work?
How Do Night Glow Prints Work?
Let’s break down the brilliant science behind night glow prints—in a way that’s simple and makes sense
You may recall hearing about ‘phosphorescence’ from your school days. Phosphor is a special chemical, and the way it behaves in the dark is quite cool. When exposed to light during the day (such as from tube lights, sunlight, or even regular bulbs), phosphors absorb that energy, almost like charging a battery.
Then, when it gets dark or there’s a power cut, all that stored energy is slowly released as visible light—a soft, greenish glow that you can see even in pitch-dark conditions.
And this is exactly the magic that makes our glow-in-the-dark signs work. The print media has a photoluminescent coating that continuously absorbs light and recharges automatically whenever exposed to illumination.
And when you reproduce an image on this media, your print job will look like a regular poster during the day—bright, clear, and professional.
But as soon as the lights go out, the material glows by itself. No batteries or electricity are required! And whatever image has been printed on this material becomes visible, even in complete darkness!
This technology ensures your safety messages and signboards are always visible, guiding people to the nearest exit or assembly point—even if the entire building is plunged into darkness. At Orchid Digitals, our night glow prints are reliable, efficient, and super bright, making them the ideal solution for any place where safety is a priority.

When it comes to glow-in-the-dark safety signs, not all prints are made equal. You might have noticed that some signboards just don’t glow the way they’re supposed to, right? Or prints that lose their glow and fade away in just 5 minutes in the dark. Here’s why.
Many printer shops and printing vendors in the market use low-cost, unbranded glow media. On paper, these cheap Chinese knockoffs promise you a “glow in the dark” effect. But in real life?
The glow is faint and underwhelming, barely lasting for FIVE minutes after the lights go out. Imagine relying on such a sign in an emergency. Not only is it disappointing, but it can also be downright dangerous.

Why The Quality of The Material Matters
When you’re ordering night glow safety prints—especially for critical applications like fire exits or emergency directions—always check what media your print vendor is using. The right material is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity. Would you trust a safety sign that becomes unreadable in a matter of minutes?
At Orchid Digitals, we take your safety seriously.
What We Do Differently at Orchid Digitals
Premium Branded Media
At Orchid Digitals, all our prints are reproduced on media sourced from internationally renowned brands. For our non-glowing rolls of vinyl, we stock material from 3M, Avery, and Oracle. And for our night glow jobs, we use the DM 9200 series media made by Daoming.
Why do we insist on this branded media? Because the DM 9200 is tested and proven to deliver a STABLE, BRIGHT glow—sometimes up to two hours in darkness.
Superior Phosphor Coating
The “glow” in glow prints comes from a special phosphor coating. In cheap media, this coating is sub-standard, leading to weak and short-lived illumination. Our branded media utilises advanced phosphors, ensuring your signs remain visible, clear, and bright even after the power goes out.
The DM9200 seriescomplies with the test standard DIN 67510-1
The DIN 67510-1 is an international standard that specifies the performance requirements for photoluminescent materials. And it lays down the parameters for testing the quality of the print media.
For example, in this test, the people in the laboratory expose the night glow material to a 150W xenon lamp, which shines at a brightness of 1000 lux, for a period of 5 minutes. At the end of those five minutes, the lights are switched off.
And the illuminance of the material is scientifically measured using a luxmeter connected to a computer. The luxmeter records the brightness/luminance of the material once every minute over a period of 2 hours.
And these are the recorded values of the luxmeter:
Sample material tested: DM9200 photoluminescent media

Luminance (mcd/m2)*
2 minutes

10 minutes
511
30 minutes
146
60 minutes
62.6
120 minutes
26.9
Luminance (mcd/m2)* = a measure of brightness
The test report above shows that the night glow vinyl retains its brightness for up to 2 hours, or 120 minutes, in complete darkness. It is important to note that the glow’s brightness gradually decreases over time.
During the first 30 minutes after the lights go out, the glow remains reasonably strong, but it gradually diminishes as time passes. To restore its brightness, the print needs to be exposed to light again to recharge and shine brightly once more.
The key takeaway is that, according to international safety standards, the print provided by Orchid Digitals will glow brightly enough for up to 2 hours, guiding people to safety even in complete darkness. In contrast, our competitors’ materials do not glow for more than 5 minutes and can actually pose a risk during emergencies.
Consistent Performance When It Matters
What’s the use of a glow sign that can’t be seen when you need it most? It’s not just a safety issue—it’s a matter of reliability. That’s why we never compromise on quality.
How Long Will My Glow-in-the-Dark Print Actually Glow In Complete Darkness
How Long Will My Glow-in-the-Dark Print Actually Glow In Complete Darkness
Curious about how long your night glow signage will light up your space after the lights go out? Great question! Let’s break it down together—so you can plan and buy with full confidence.
Nightglow prints aren’t magic, but they definitely feel magical! During the day—or whenever they’re exposed to a good, strong light source like sunlight, fluorescent tubes, or incandescent bulbs—these prints soak up light just like a sponge. Once the area becomes dark, they slowly release this stored light, glowing cheerfully to keep you safe and informed.
The Real Factors That Influence “Glow Time” – 3 main things play a role in how long your glow-in-the-dark print will shine:
1. How Long Was It “Charged” With Light?
Before darkness falls, your print needs at least 10–15 minutes of exposure to a strong light source. In the lab test described in the previous section, you can see that the material was exposed to 1000 lumens of brightness for a period of 5 minutes.
These durations and light intensities were needed to fully charge the material. The longer it is charged, the brighter and longer it will glow after the lights go out. If the duration for which the print is exposed to light is insufficient, it will not fully charge, and this will impact the glow when it becomes dark.

If the duration for which the print is exposed to light is insufficient, it will not fully charge, and this will impact the glow when it becomes dark.
A night glow print loves a strong light! Sunlight or a powerful lamp is perfect. Sorry, but candlelight is just not enough—so try to keep your signs close to bright lights or a window for best results. This will give the print a chance to absorb as much light as it can, and glow for a longer duration in the dark.

This is where brands like Orchid Digitals shine (pun intended!). Cheap, unbranded glow media fades fast—think 5–10 minutes of weak, patchy glow. Our premium, branded media glows for 45–120 minutes (that’s up to 2 hours!).
That’s plenty of time to safely direct people in case of an emergency or keep your signage visible in the event of a power failure.

That’s plenty of time to safely direct people in case of an emergency or keep your signage visible in the event of a power failure.
In real-world use, expect your print to remain glowing for anywhere between 45 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how well it was charged and the material quality.
Eventually, as the stored light runs out, the brightness dims and fades away—no tricks here, just the science behind photoluminescent materials. This means that you get a very bright glow immediately after the lights are switched off, but as time passes, the print will slowly fade and dim.
Recharging the Print is Easy!
Don’t worry—your glow sign will recharge itself whenever it’s exposed to light again.
Outdoors? The sun does the job automatically.
Indoors? Just ensure your sign is placed near a lamp, tube light or other strong source.
At Orchid Digitals, we believe that signage should not only look good—it should serve a real purpose, especially in situations where safety is at stake. So, let’s walk you through the most common (and some surprising!) applications of night glow prints.
Safety First: Where Night Glow Prints Shine Bright
Night glow prints are true lifesavers in places like buildings, office complexes, hotels, and factories. Why? Because when an emergency strikes—like a fire or a blackout—regular signs vanish in the darkness. That’s when night glow signs take centre stage by glowing like a beacon and guiding people to safety:
Fire evacuation maps
Fire evacuation maps
These maps help guests, clients, and staff quickly locate themselves in large commercial buildings. Furthermore, these maps indicate the quickest route to safety, helping people find their bearings and escape swiftly, even when they are on unfamiliar premises.
Fire Alarm and Safety Signs
Fire alarm signboards and safety signs are the perfect use case for night glow media. These prints quickly guide people to the location of alarms or safety equipment, even when the power has tripped and the building is dark.

Emergency Exit Signs
Emergency Exit Signs
These signs clearly indicate the nearest exit doors, so in an emergency or panic situation, nobody needs to waste precious time searching for an escape route.
Floor Plans
Sometimes, knowing exactly where you are is the key to getting out safely. Floor plans printed on night glow media enhance the map’s usefulness because people can now refer to the map even in complete darkness.

Whether it’s a movie theatre, a storeroom, or a basement—these exit arrow signs are always visible even in total darkness.
Assembly point signs
During an evacuation, it’s essential for everyone to gather at a designated, safe location. Glow-in-the-dark signs act like beacons even in smoke-filled rooms to ensure that nobody gets lost on the way.

Think of it this way: In the event of a fire, the power supply is often the first thing to go, leaving everyone in pitch black conditions. But our night glow signage continues to shine in this darkness, guiding people every step of the way until help arrives.
Night Glow vs. Night Reflective Media – What’s the Real Difference?
Many customers ask us, “Are night glow prints and night reflective prints the same thing?” It’s a very common confusion, but the answer is: No, they’re quite different! Understanding their basic differences will help you pick the perfect signage for your requirements.
1. Night Glow Prints: Shine in Total Darkness
1. Night Glow Prints: Shine in Total Darkness
Think of night glow prints as the “store-and-shine” type. This means that the print ‘stores’ light much like how the battery in your mobile phone stores power. This stored light is then emitted when it becomes dark, providing visibility to our printed image.
These special signs are coated with a photoluminescent material—a fancy way of saying they absorb light during the day (from the sun or nearby light bulbs) and then release it in darkness, glowing like magic when all the lights go off. No electricity required!
Night Glow Signs are best suited for places where it can get pitch dark, such as stairwells, corridors, or during power outages.
Common uses of this material: Emergency exit signs, fire safety info, evacuation maps, etc.
2. Night Reflective Prints Shine When Light Hits Them
Night reflective media, on the other hand, works differently. This specialised material has thousands of tiny prisms embedded on its surface. And these prisms act as mirrors to bounce back any light that hits them.
Both night glow and night reflective media function without requiring any power source or electricity. However, the main difference between these materials is that while night glow media emits light in complete darkness, night reflective media only reflects any light that falls on its surface.
Think of road signs and direction boards installed on the motorways. These signboards light up when the light from a car’s headlamps falls on them at night. The headlamp’s beam from approaching vehicles illuminates the print, making the message printed on night-reflective vinyl clearly visible. And when the car passes by, the reflective sign dims down.
Key Takeaway: Night reflective prints need some light to work—they won’t be visible in total darkness if there’s no direct light to reflect back.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Night Glow if you want your sign to be visible even in complete darkness, such as inside a building during a power failure. Safety signs, fire escape and emergency exit boards are the prime applications for this material.
Choose Night Reflective for outdoor use where light from vehicles, torches, or street lamps can illuminate the sign, such as on highways, parking lots, and public places. Signs that need to be installed on roadways, such as distance markers, arrow boards, and road direction signs, are the primary applications for this material.

FAQs | Frequently Asked Questions
How are you prints better than that of your competitors?
Most of our competitors use unbranded or low grade films for printing.
These prints just tick the “glow-in-the-dark” box. But they do not really perform well. The prints typically fade within 15 to 20 minutes. And the intensity of their glow is also pretty low.
At Orchid Digitals, we do not compromise in matters of safety.
We only use high grade branded night media sourced from reputed companies like Avery™, 3M™ and Wyte™. This media keeps glowing in the dark for a significantly greater amount of time. And that too with greater intensity.
How long will these signs glow in complete darkness?
We use branded media from reputed companies like Avery™, 3M™ and Wyte™. And this media always outperforms unbranded stuff.
The spec sheets claim that this night glow media will glow upto 4 hours in complete darkness, with reducing intensity. But to be on the safe side, we tell our clients to expect the glow to last for anywhere between 45 – 90 minutes.
Please also remember that the intensity of the night glow print is influenced by two factors: 1. The duration for which the print has been exposed to light. 2. The intensity of the light it source that has charged the print.
This means that if the print has been exposed for just 3 – 5 minutes to a dim bulb in a dark room, it may not perform to Its peak capacity.
