Foamex and Correx are both popular signage materials, but they serve different purposes.
Foamex Boards
Foamex is a rigid PVC foam board with a smooth surface. It offers excellent print quality and a professional finish, making it suitable for permanent or semi-permanent signage.
Correx Boards
Correx is a fluted polypropylene board. It is lighter and more flexible but has a ribbed structure that limits print sharpness.
Key Differences
-
Finish: Foamex is smooth; Correx is fluted
-
Durability: Foamex is stronger and more rigid
-
Use case: Foamex suits professional signage; Correx suits temporary signs
For long-term or premium signage, foamed PVC boards are generally the better option
