Signage is presented comprising an in-mold plastic plate portion having a slot. The signage has a flexible tongue having a neck portion that extends outwardly from the plate portion and has a locking tip extending from the neck portion and the locking tip is formed to be received by the slot. The plastic plate portion is made of a filler material and a detectable additive such that the signage is easily detected by a metal detecting machine.

Method of making detectable signage

A sign () for viewing by persons in a traffic area accessible by the random passage of persons through the area, the sign () including a label () formed of a thin layer of plastic material upon which the subject matter of the desired sign is printed. A planar substrate () of molded material is fused to the label (). The planar substrate () includes a mounting feature () adapted to secure the sign () to a second object. During manufacture, an injection device () and ejector system () are associated with a first sign mold portion, a label is placed in a second sign mold portion, the first and second sign mold portions are closed together during injection, and the previously formed sign is removed from the first sign mold portion via the ejector system () prior to closing the mold portions together.
