Enhancing Distillery Branding and Cask Marking with Reusable Stencils

Introduction

Clear helipad markings are essential for safety and operational compliance. They help pilots identify landing zones and ensure consistency across sites.

Helideck Marking Guidelines

For helidecks 16 metres or more, the guidance recommends:

  • Character height: Minimum 1.5 metres in white
  • Bar width: 15% of character height
  • Letter spacing: 10% of character height between letters
  • Word spacing: 50% of character height
  • Recommended font: Clearview Hwy 5-W for readability
