When your building requires ADA and wayfinding signage, you need more than a sign that “looks right.” You need products that meet applicable requirements, arrive on schedule, and fit the specific needs of your space. Bellco helps make that process easier.
Here at Bellco, we’ve been manufacturing made-to-order signage for wholesale customers since 1946 and custom ADA and wayfinding signs since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990. Today, we remain one of the country’s largest producers, manufacturing every product at our wholesale warehouse and production facility. We’re known for our fast turnarounds, while our full custom capabilities for ADA and wayfinding signage allow us to accommodate projects with more specialized requirements.
For over 80 years, we’ve witnessed the introduction of the ADA and its evolution over the years. Our long history in the business means we have the expertise to ensure your signage meets ADA/local code requirements, such as mounting height, Braille and tactile elements, the international symbol of accessibility, and van accessible designation. Get any one of them wrong, and now you’ve got a rejected sign, a delayed project, or even a complaint later on.
We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen with ADA handicap signs that are sure to pass compliance and are delivered on time.
Sourcing Compliant Handicap Signs Shouldn’t Be Hard
Many resellers have the same thought when they end up juggling unreliable suppliers and lead times that never align with client needs: sourcing a sign that’s actually compliant shouldn’t be this hard.
Unfortunately, choosing the wrong sign can make an already frustrating process even more costly.
The Unseen Cost of a Non-Compliant Sign
When it comes to ADA-compliant handicap signs, you’re not just “buying a sign.” Handicap parking signs must meet federal standards, state regulations, and any local building department requirements, making non-compliant signage an expensive problem to fix.
Non-compliant parking lot or garage signs are ADA violations waiting to be reported, which come with real fines and legal consequences. If you’re working on a new construction project, a failed inspection can delay your certificate of occupancy. For existing buildings, signs with the wrong mounting height or contrast, missing a van-accessible designation, or not adhering to Braille rules must be removed and reordered.
When you’re a reseller handling a client sign that doesn’t pass inspection, you’re dealing with the kind of mistake that could cause you to lose not only the original order but the whole account itself. But it doesn’t have to be this way. When you buy from a manufacturer like Bellco, which ensures compliance from the beginning, these are issues you never have to deal with.
How Bellco Solves It
At 80 years in business, we’ve seen where handicap parking signs can go wrong, so we know how to avoid non-compliance.
Built Compliant, Not “Compliance-Adjacent”
Every sign we manufacture is built to meet federal ADA specifications from the start: correct international symbol placement, proper contrast, non-glare finishes, and accurate sizing for van accessible spaces versus standard accessible parking spaces. The outcome is simple: your sign passes inspection the first time, so there’s no rework, no reorder, and no scrambling before an audit.
Full Custom Capabilities
When a project needs specific signage, whether that’s a custom size for a parking garage or unique wording for a designated accessible entrance, our custom fabrication covers it.
One Source for the Whole Project
It’s rare that a customer only needs a handicap parking sign or just an ADA-compliant exit or restroom sign. They’re each one piece of a larger accessibility picture that includes building entrances, restroom signage, elevator signs, and wayfinding elements.
At Bellco, we supply all of it, plus Braille and architectural signage, so you can place a single purchase order with one vendor and get all the ADA signage and wayfinding products you need, instead of chasing down five suppliers to keep the look consistent across one property (or several).
Wholesale Pricing for the Trade
As a sign company, our 2025-26 Wholesale ADA Catalog and pricing are built for you. Volume support and trade pricing mean better margins and a supplier you can actually count on long-term, project after project.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes a handicap sign ADA-compliant?
An ADA-compliant handicap sign includes the international symbol of accessibility, meets required mounting height and placement rules, and, where applicable, correctly marks van-accessible spaces. Compliance also depends on local regulations, since many states layer additional requirements on top of federal standards.
-
What’s the difference between ADA, handicap, disabled, and accessible parking signs?
ADA, handicap, disabled, and accessible are all terms used largely interchangeably to describe the same type of sign: one that marks designated parking spaces for individuals with disability and displays the international symbol of accessibility.
-
Can Bellco make custom handicap signs to match our building?
Yes, we offer fully custom fabrication of handicap parking signs, including sizing, materials, and design elements that match a building’s existing signage. We ensure that custom orders still comply with federal and local standards.
