Plastic board printing

If you want to print your custom sign boards on plastic, we have three types of durable materials to choose from, which are all suitable for indoor and outdoor use:

  • Foamex PVC Eurolight: available in 3 mm, 5 mm or 10 mm thicknesses, this resistant plastic is made from semi-expanded PVC and has a compact white surface. It is ideal for sign board printing.
  • Corrugated plastic: available in 3.5 mm or 5 mm thicknesses, this polypropylene panel has a honeycomb structure, making it lightweight and affordable.
  • Akyprint 3.5 mm: this polypropylene panel has a dark grey bubble structure and is both waterproof and scratch-resistant, therefore ideal for outdoor display board printing and advertising.

Plexiglass board printing

Plexiglass is a shatterproof material that is often used for photograph mounting and fine art printing due to its sophisticated appearance. This makes it a popular choice for photography and art exhibitions, but it can also be used to create all kinds of printed boards like plaques and other displays. There are two Plexiglass materials to choose from, which are both available in 3 mm or 5 mm thicknesses:

  • Clear Plexiglass: a strong yet lightweight clear polymethyl methacrylate panel, suitable for indoor or outdoor use
  • Opal Plexiglass: an opal polymethyl methacrylate panel with an opaque design that makes it suitable for backlighting.

Foam board printing

Pixartprinting offers four different multi-layer materials for foam board printing, all of which are strong but lightweight:

  • Smart-X® 10 mm: a panel with an expanded polystyrene core and solid polystyrene surfaces, suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • Foamcore 10 mm: a panel with PVC-free surfaces and an expanded core
  • KAPA®tex 5 mm: a foam panel with a polyurethane core and latex-coated paper surfaces, giving it an embossed look like the texture of a painting canvas
  • KAPA®plast 5 mm: a moisture-resistant foam panel with a rigid grey polyurethane core and matt white cardboard surfaces.

Aluminium board printing

Aluminium printed boards are waterproof and stylish, adding a sophisticated touch to any sign board printing projects. There are two materials available, white aluminium 3 mm and brushed aluminium 3 mm, both of which have a black polyethylene core. They are available in a range of sizes with the option to add scratch-resistant varnish to protect the print.

Cardboard board printing

Carboard is an excellent material for indoor display board printing and can be used to create posters, indoor furnishings and display stands. Pixartprinting offers six different cardboard materials that you can customise to suit your requirements:

  • Dispa® 3.8 mm: a lightweight white cardboard panel with a double-flute core and smooth white surfaces
  • White honeycomb cardboard 10 mm: an eco-friendly panel with a honeycomb-structure core covered by two layers of extra-thick kraft cardboard
  • Compact pressboard 1.6 mm: a very thin, white pressed cardboard panel with smooth white surfaces
  • White cardboard E flute 1.4 mm: an ultra-thin, single-flute cardboard panel with smooth white surfaces
