A guide to your options
Lightweight board for clear, practical signage
Foam PVC is a lightweight rigid board that can be cut into panels, letters and shapes. It is widely associated with names such as Foamex and is particularly useful for indoor branding, temporary displays and promotional signage. Suitable external applications can also be considered.
Materials & construction
Black and white foam PVC are available in a choice of thicknesses. The thickness and support should be selected around the panel size, fixing positions and installation environment. The finish can then be coordinated with applied graphics or the intended lettering design.
Choose the finish that fits
Cut lettering
Dimensional text and logos for display and interior branding.
Temporary displays
A practical board option for short-term campaigns and events.
Plan the details
Fine details need room for the router cutter. For small letters, acrylic may give a cleaner result. Tell us if the sign will be outside, exposed to heat or frequently handled so the thickness, fixing and material choice can be assessed.
