The medical plus sign board is the most recognised shop sign in Indian medical retail — the glowing medical plus sign means "medicines here" to everyone, in every language. The one decision buyers face is whether to get a plain plus or a plus with MEDICAL lettering. This guide settles that choice.
Plain plus: maximum distance
A plain medical plus board is readable from the farthest away because the eye recognises the shape instantly, before it could ever read text. The Medical Plus board (red) and the Medical & Pharmacy board (green) are the go-to plain-plus options.
Plus with MEDICAL text: no ambiguity
If nearby clinics and labs also use plus/cross boards, adding text removes doubt. The Medical Red & Green board pairs a green cross with bold red MEDICAL lettering, so customers know it's specifically a medical store, not a clinic.
Red plus or green plus?
Red gives the strongest night contrast; green is the traditional pharmacy colour. The smart move is to pick the colour that stands out from your immediate neighbours — if the shop next door runs a green cross, a red plus makes you distinct. More on this in the medical plus symbol light guide.
Sizes and mounting
Plus sign boards come in 18x18 and 24x24 inch, double sided, hanging from a hook mount above the entrance. They plug into a normal socket — no electrician needed. Pick 24x24 for wide or fast roads.
