Foamex boards are widely used across signage, displays, and visual communication due to their balance of strength, weight, and finish. They are made from expanded PVC foam, giving them a rigid structure while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.
Material Overview
Foamex is a closed-cell PVC foam material. This structure prevents water absorption and gives the board a smooth surface suitable for direct printing, vinyl application, and mounting. Unlike cardboard-based boards, it does not warp easily and maintains its shape over time.
Thickness Options
Foamex boards are available in different thicknesses depending on application:
-
3mm – lightweight boards for indoor signage, posters, and wall displays
-
5mm – stronger boards suitable for medium-sized signs and general-purpose use
-
10mm – rigid boards for large signage, freestanding displays, and longer-term outdoor use
Choosing the right thickness is important for durability, fixing method, and visual appearance.
Common Uses
Foamex boards are commonly used for:
-
Retail and shop signage
-
Exhibition and event displays
-
Information boards and notices
-
Construction and safety signage
-
Interior branding panels
Their clean finish and versatility make them a preferred choice for professional signage projects.
