What are the advantages of custom-printed Foamex boards?

Custom printed foamex boards are low-cost sheets of material that make it easy to display promotions, advertisements, and directional signage. They may be used both indoors and out, and you can hold them up on easels, mount them on walls, or mix them in with your window or shop display.

What exactly is Foamex?

Foamex, commonly known as foam board, foam PVC, or foam board PVC, is a compressed PVC board. It's light, strong, and has a nice smooth finish. Foamex is widely used for low-cost indoor signage.

What is the maximum size of my foam board?

There are no restrictions on how big your board maybe. Boards are only available in 8 x 4ft (2438mm x 1219mm) sheets; any foam board printing orders larger than this will be cut into sections.

Because it is lighter than aluminium composite, Foamex is easy to handle and useful where a rigid printed surface is needed without the weight of a more permanent sign panel.

Thickness, mounting and expected lifespan should still match the application. For exposed exterior signage or long-term shopfront use, we may recommend aluminium composite or another more durable construction instead.
