Foam Board Signs from Cheap as Prints
Foam signs offer a great way to create fantastic visuals without paying a premium. The PVC based sheets are made by compressing PVC foam creating a strong, semi-rigid panel. Foam boards panels are lightweight and can be used indoors or outdoors as the material and ink are water and fade-resistant. Unlike correx sheets that have a corrugated surface, foamex boards have a smoother print surface resulting in a cleaner finish.
Our foamex boards are available on a choice of 3mm, 5mm, or 10mm thick sheets. 3mm foamex is recommended for smaller indoor display panels around 1m x 1m or smaller. 5mm foam boards offer the most popular solution with the added rigidity offering better handling. For larger panels like A0+ sizes 10mm boards will offer far better stability and are ideal if you want to support a panel from a base like a free-standing panel. For any outdoor display, the minimum thickness recommended would be 5mm. Foamex boards can be affixed in a variety of ways, using screws, double-sided tape, or self-adhesive pads.
We print our foam boards with a resolution of up to 1080dpi achieving photo-realistic results. The ink is applied to the surface of the panel before being exposed to UV light that ‘cures’ the ink resulting in a printed surface that is water and fade-resistant. We offer standard size boards including A5, A4, A3, A2, A1, A0 and custom sizes. Your designs can be printed in any number of colours including photographic content without any additional charges.
If you’re still unsure about the suitability of foam boards for your signage project, why not view our dibond panels? This material is made from high-strength aluminium composite sheets that are rust and crack-proof. Feel free to contact our friendly team at info@cheapasprint.com or call 01922 666 288.
