Wholesale Elevator Button Signs

ADA standards require elevator call buttons to include raised characters and Grade 2 Contracted Braille, proper mounting height and placement to the left of the door jamb, high visual contrast, and non-glare finishes. Signage must be consistent across all landings and meet character size and spacing requirements outlined in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

Inside the elevator cab, the panel is called a car operating panel (COP). Outside the elevator on each floor, it's referred to as a hall station or call station. ADA-compliant panels include tactile and Braille signage positioned adjacent to each button for accessible identification.

The raised dots on lift buttons are Braille characters that let visually impaired passengers identify floor numbers and functions by touch. ADA guidelines require Grade 2 Contracted Braille, positioned directly below the corresponding raised tactile character for consistent, accessible reading.

Elevator button signs are available in a virtually limitless range of substrates, including architectural films, high-pressure laminates, metal surfaces, aluminum composites, engraving plastics, acrylics, and more. Each material option balances durability, aesthetics, and compliance requirements, allowing sign companies to match building interiors while meeting ADA tactile and contrast standards.
