Product Description

Foamex signboards are one of the most popular choices for businesses seeking high-impact, cost-effective signage. Whether you're promoting a sale, branding a retail space, or guiding visitors through an event, Foamex boards deliver professional results with exceptional clarity and durability. At Minuteman Press Torquay, we specialise in producing custom Foamex signs that reflect your brand’s identity and meet your exact specifications.

What Is Foamex?

Foamex is a rigid PVC foam board, known for its smooth surface, lightweight structure, and excellent printability. Available in various thicknesses—typically 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm—Foamex is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. It’s weather-resistant, easy to mount, and can be cut to virtually any shape or size, making it a go-to material for promotional signage, exhibition displays, directional boards, and point-of-sale graphics.

Material Overview

• Digitally printed applied self-adhesive
• Printed on either 3mm or 5mm rigid foamex
• M1/B1 Fire-Rated
• Trimmed sides as standard
• Lightweight and easy to install
• Flexible and durable, can be stuck, screwed, nailed or riveted to any suitable surface
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
• Maximum size 2.4m × 1.2m (8ft × 4ft approx.) in one piece

As the maximum board size is 2.4m × 1.2m (8ft × 4ft approx.) multiple boards can be printed and easily placed side by side to increase the image area.

As the foamex is lightweight, it can be easily installed with adhesive or strong double sided tape as well as having the durability to be screwed straight through.

Our Foamex is finished by printing onto self-adhesive vinyl and applied to the foamex. This is to ensure the best quality print and the SAV finish is not visible on the Foamex.

As with any foam-based products, please be aware of possible expansion in heated conditions and direct sunlight. If there is no room for expansion (if it is within a frame) this can cause the product to warp.

Standard product tolerance is expansion of up to 5mm per linear metre

Each item is printed and finished to your requirements.
