Board Printing

Foamex – Best for indoor signage, retail point-of-sale, wayfinding and welcome signs. Smooth finish, durable and can be temporarily used outside as it is waterproof and UV stable.

Correx – This is a popular lightweight corrugated plastic used for both indoor and outdoor temporary signage. Correx is recyclable.

Dibond – Aluminium composite, this is a premium, heavy-duty option for permanent signage. It is rigid and won't warp. The bae colour is white, so unprinted areas will be white.

Acrylic/Plexiglass - A glass-like, premium plastic often seen as sleek reception signage, high-end displays or plaques.

Cardboard – We have three thicknesses of cardboard, which you can laminate as required for longevity. Cardboard is recyclable when not laminated.

Foam Board – Made from 5mm KAPA®tex, 5mm KAPA®plast, or 10mm Smart-X® and is an alternative to Foamex.

Yes, of course. We offer three different thicknesses. 3mm, 5mm and 10mm. If you plan to reuse your board multiple times, we recommend going for the thickest option.

Yes. You can get your board custom-cut.

As long as the shape is simple, we can cut it out of any rigid board product we offer. Corrugated plastic, Dibond, and Foamex boards are all available with a custom shape option. Simply follow the instructions on how to supply your artwork for custom cut (that can be found under the artwork guide section on the product page), and we will cut out your board to your desired shape.

We also have this handy step guide on how to set up design files for custom-cut boards.

We have simplified this process for you, simply choose the number of drill hole you require from the dropdown selections on the page.

The most important thing to remember when designing for Acrylic Boards and Plexiglas is that it's a transparent material. This means that if you have any element on your design that is white, it will result in just being see-through plexiglass.

For example, if you have a logo with a white background, that'll be hidden by the transparent nature of Plexiglas. The same applies to text which has a white font colour or even a white outline around it!

This means that you need to make sure that all of your elements are either transparent or don't have any white in them.

Correx® is a branded term for a lightweight, top quality corrugated plastic board.

Yes, Correx® is a twin-wall polypropylene sheet manufactured by Corplex. This fluted, washable, non-shedding board material is a proper winner for both indoor and outdoor use.  Ideal for temporary signage and anywhere you need to transport or store lightweight signs. 

Whilst it is possible to use the two interchangeably as temporary signage, you could go by this simple rule:

Correx® - will have a corrugated finish and will be lighter than Foamex

Foamex - will have a smooth finish and is heavier than Correx

Yes, Foamex boards are suitable for printing high-quality photographs. They offer vibrant colour reproduction and sharp detail, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor displays. Foamex boards are lightweight, durable, and available in 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm thicknesses.

For optimal results, ensure your artwork meets the following specifications:​

• Resolution: 300 dpi for images​

• Colour Mode: CMYK​

• File Format: PDF/X-1a preferred​

• Bleed: 3mm on all sides​

• Safe Zone: 5mm from edges

• 3 mm is best for lightweight indoor signs and temporary displays.

• 5 mm is sturdier for medium-sized outdoor signs and displays that will be handled a lot.

• 10 mm is our most rigid option and is best for large, freestanding displays and contour-cut shapes. It is also the most robust for heavy handling

The best boards for outdoor use are Dibond, Foamex and Correx.

You should submit a 2-page PDF: Page 1: Front artwork, Page 2: Back artwork. Ensure both pages include 3mm bleed on all sides and are in CMYK colour mode at 300 dpi resolution. Keep important content 3mm inside the trim edge (safe zone).​

Sadly not, we can only produce a single exterior cut around outer perimeter of the design. We currently don’t offer the ability to produce internal cuts, or multiple different cuts within one artwork.

Correx is a corrugated plastic board, which is a great choice for temporary signage like festival signage, wayfinding for events or simple, low-cost signage. It is also a top choice for estate agents' "For Sale" boards.

Foamex is sturdier and comes in three thicknesses: 3mm, 5mm & 10mm. It has a very smooth surface as it is not corrugated. Foamex is a popular choice for retail signs, permanent indoor fixtures and permanent display signage. Foamex is also a top choice for wedding and event welcome signs.

Yes, it prints beautifully.  

Yes, it is a PVC Free, corrugated board made of polypropylene making it recyclable.

One of the great things about our Cardboard signs is that when you are finished using them, they are simple to recycle. Our E+E double flute is 80% recyclable; our Compact Pressboard is 100% recyclable, and our Honeycomb is also 100% recyclable.

If you wish to recycle them, don't add a varnish or lamination.

We want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to reduce waste, so we have done our best to make these signs as environmentally friendly as possible.

Yes, but we largely refer to them as Dibond sheets. These are printed as single-sided only on a white surface.  Anywhere you don't add ink will show the white surface underneath.
