Foamex

Foamex is a rigid PVC foam board. A solid PVC sheet that is lightweight yet sturdy, with a smooth surface. It’s suitable for both short term indoor and outdoor use and can be printed on either side.

Drill holes are 5mm wide and will be in the top two corners. If all sides of the part are 400mm or more, drill holes will be placed 30mm from the edges. If any side is less than 400mm, drill holes will be placed 15mm from the edges. Make sure to keep important design elements away from these drilling areas. The drill hole options are shown above and are typically placed in the corners - all 4 corners or the top 2 corners.

• Provide artwork in CMYK colour format (not RGB)

• Use a layout scaled 1:1 with 3 mm bleed on all sides.

• Ensure sufficient resolution and avoid placing important design elements (e.g. text, QR codes) too close to drill-hole or cut areas.

We offer 3 thicknesses: 3 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm

The thickness is what offers rigidity, so the thicker you go, the sturdier the board and the less flex you get.
