The challenge: one system for a large industrial park

Hengli Industrial Park brings together offices, accommodation, production workshops, roads, landscaped areas and operational facilities. A visitor, employee or vehicle needs a clear route through a site with different zones and different movement patterns.

The signage therefore needs to do more than identify individual buildings. It needs to establish a visual and wayfinding order across the park, while keeping people and vehicles moving through the right areas.

• Create a clear sequence from the park entrance to roads, buildings and internal destinations.
• Separate people and vehicle movement through road-zone and facility information.
• Keep gateway, accommodation, office, workshop and functional signs visually related.
• Use bilingual Chinese and English information where visitors and teams need it.

A graded wayfinding structure from gateway to destination

The system follows a graded sequence: the entrance establishes the park identity, road signs divide the movement network, building numbers and door signs identify destinations, workshop markers define production zones, and functional signs support everyday operations.

This hierarchy gives each sign a clear role. A large gateway element is read from the approach, while a building number, workshop zone marker or functional sign is read at a closer decision point.

Gateway identity and landscape signage

The park entrance is the first identity point in the system. A curved image wall carries the park name in large dimensional lettering, paired with a circular logo element, so the gateway reads as one composition from the approach road.

A second entrance treatment sets freestanding park name letters into the landscaped lawn. Both parts establish the visual language that continues into the road, building and production-area signs across Hengli Industrial Park.

Building numbers and campus identification

The accommodation and office side of the park is read at a closer distance than the entrance. Building number signs mounted on the facades identify individual blocks, and the number sits on the brick elevation itself rather than on a separate board.

Because the buildings share one architectural language, the number signs carry the identification role. That keeps the campus legible floor by floor without adding signage clutter to the elevations.

Production workshop zone signage

The production area operates at a different scale from the rest of the park. Workshop facades carry identification signs set high on the cladding, and zone plates mark the subdivisions within a single workshop building.

Workshop zone markers therefore have to work from a distance and at the building line. The signs identify the workshop and its production zone so that teams and vehicles move to the correct part of the structure.

Road zones and people and vehicle movement

The workshops sit either side of internal site roads, with crossing markings carrying pedestrian movement across the vehicle route. Road-zone information and the building signs work together at these points, so a driver or a pedestrian reads direction before committing to a turn.

This is where separating people and vehicle movement matters most. The road layout, the crossing markings and the adjacent building identification combine into one readable route rather than three separate cues.

Functional signage with bilingual information

Functional signs cover the everyday points that need quick recognition, including fire-safety locations, equipment spaces, service facilities and rest areas. Clear symbols and bilingual Chinese and English wording help the signs work for different users across the park.

Freestanding directional signs carry facility information into the landscaped areas, so a visitor can locate a service point from the road or path rather than only at the building door.

Materials and fabrication for an industrial setting

Stainless steel forms the base for the signage elements, with the fabrication route using laser cutting and CNC bending to create clean, repeatable forms. Screen printing supports the information graphics, while weather-resistant coatings protect the exterior finish.

For illuminated elements, waterproof and dust-resistant LED modules are used within the sign construction. The material and process choices are matched to the different conditions of gateways, roads, buildings, workshops and functional spaces.

• Stainless steel base materials for signage elements and related metalwork.
• Laser cutting and CNC bending for controlled shapes and lettering.
• Screen printing for clear information graphics.
• Weather-resistant coatings for exterior applications.
• Waterproof and dust-resistant LED modules for illuminated signs.

Survey, production and site delivery

The delivery route starts with a full-site survey and graded wayfinding planning. The information structure is then translated into factory production, followed by coordinated installation across the park areas.

After installation, the service scope includes after-sales maintenance. This keeps the system supported beyond the initial production and site installation stages.
