Customer Parking Only Signs
Customer parking only signs clearly identify parking spaces reserved for customers and help businesses keep designated bays available for people visiting their premises.
They are commonly used outside shops, showrooms, clinics, restaurants, garages and other businesses where dedicated customer parking needs to be clearly marked. Clear signage can help visitors understand where they are permitted to park and reduce confusion in busy parking areas.
At Foamex Printing Company, our customer parking signs are printed on rigid 3mm Foamex and available in a range of sizes, with bespoke options available for different parking areas and requirements.
Where Are Customer Parking Only Signs Used?
A customer parking only sign can help identify reserved bays and parking areas around a wide range of commercial and private premises.
Common applications include:
- Retail Stores: Reserve parking spaces for customers visiting a shop.
- Restaurants and Cafés: Help keep convenient spaces available for diners.
- Clinics and Healthcare Premises: Identify parking intended for patients and visitors.
- Garages and Service Centres: Separate customer parking from staff or operational areas.
- Showrooms and Commercial Premises: Clearly mark parking for visiting customers.
In larger or shared car parks, customer parking signage can also be used alongside other parking signs to distinguish customer, visitor, staff and restricted areas. Our Visitor Parking Sign is another option for clearly identifying visitor bays.
Customer Parking Signs for Clear Parking Instructions
The wording on a parking sign should be straightforward and easy to understand. A parking for customers only message clearly communicates who the designated spaces are intended for.
Depending on the location, additional information may also be included, such as:
- Customer-only parking instructions
- Time restrictions
- Conditions of use
- Private parking information
- Additional site-specific instructions
Clear wording and visible placement can help businesses communicate parking conditions consistently across their premises.

Customer Parking Signs for Businesses
Using customer parking only signs can make parking arrangements easier to understand for visitors while helping businesses distinguish customer spaces from other areas.
They can be placed at car park entrances, beside individual bays or at other appropriate points where the parking restriction needs to be visible.
Where parking terms are being enforced on private land, signage should accurately reflect the site’s actual parking rules and any terms used by the parking operator.
