  • The Versatility of Coloured Foamex Sheets

Foamex has been a preferred printing material for years now with people choosing the durable and cost-effective material, freely for their signage. Looking into the various kinds of usages that it can be employed for, it is no surprise that it has found so much popularity over the years in the printing industry. Foamex Printing Company offers you a plethora of options when you are on the lookout for  Foamex signs and going on to extol the virtues of this handle material we are going to talk about the various colour variants that Foamex offers and how Coloured Foamex is so versatile in its usages.

Talking about the versatility of Foamex as a material, we are well aware of the fact that it is quite easy to mould, cut, as well as print upon. Owing to the kind of flexibility that the material provides, it becomes a popular choice for flat applications such as Foamex signs. If you factor in the additional advantages of getting varying thicknesses, you could use something with higher flexibility like a 3mm Foamex or a robust option for heavy outdoor signage like a 10mm Foamex as your printing options. Quite unlike how its name suggests, the material is quite dense and rigid, and not soft and foamy like the name Foamex tends to suggest.

Going to the option of using Coloured Foamex one of the most important reasons why people like to go for it, is that it has a fine cell structure, and provides you with not only vibrant colours but the smooth surface to finish. These two features make it quite ideal for a digital printing process known as six colours digital printing process, that implies the usage of UV inks that are eco-friendly. Foamex signs hence can give you so much that is professional in quality, and can also provide you with a laminated, quite high-gloss finish, resulting in displays that are quite eye-catching. Whether you end up using 5mm Foamex or 10mm the quality results are always going to suit your needs.

Let’s take an example of flat-cut letters that can be used by brands for creating their Foamex signs without burning a hole in their pockets.

Advantages of using Coloured Foamex here can include:

  • Standard size to be used would be 5mm Foamex that is much cheaper than using other materials such as acrylic or Dibond, especially when you’re talking about lecturing that is 3-D since it does not have the same kind of rigidity that these materials have. When you are looking at letters that are not extremely large in size, then Foamex is the best choice for you. Adding in the coloured option, you have yourself a fantastic branding option that really pops out.
  • With various kinds of attachment options, the lightweight nature of Foamex signs means that you could try to attach it simply to a wall, in a straightforward manner, or even go on to attach it to a backing board. Being extremely easy to transport and mount, you will face absolutely no problems in attaching any sort of signage that is made out of this material.
  • Having already talked about how versatile the material is when it comes to the kind of flexibility that is provided to you, taking it a notch up with let’s say 10mm Foamex which is quite heavy duty in nature, means that you will get a premium-looking look with the coloured sheets.
  • Additionally, when you look at signage that is made out of Coloured Foamex, one factor that is always very handy is the fact that the material is water repellent as well as weatherproof. A lot of times when you deal with other materials which are made out of metal weatherproofing becomes an issue as they tend to crore over time.

If you look at other cheaper alternatives such as MDF or even plywood, the materials are not with the proof and over time will deteriorate. Thus talking about signage be it 3mm Foamex or 10mm, when you get brightly coloured signage made out of the material, it will stay the same way over a long period of time making it a great investment in terms of cost-effectiveness and longevity.

Hence having talked about the various ways how Foamex signs made out of coloured sheets are extremely beneficial and can be used across a variety of uses as they provide inherent benefits, one can arrive at the conclusion that using Coloured Foamex is a great idea. Hence, when you are in the market looking for the best printing company that can give you options in displays made out of Foamex and straight cut coloured ones too, you need to come to Foamex Printing Company, which is your one-stop shop for every kind of signage in the material.
