Suitable for both indoor and outside Foamex is a relatively lightweight material and it is fully waterproof. As such they are a popular choice for shop front signs and many outdoor signage applications. However, Foamex also remains a popular choice for exhibition signs and displays due to its clarity and versatility.

Due to their durability these Foamex signs can be drilled, screwed or even nailed to a whole range of surfaces, making them incredibly versatile. If you are planning on using a large Foamex sign then we recommend fixing your Foamex to a backboard like a sheet of plywood in order to make your sign solid and improve the resilience of your sign.

Foamex is sometimes referred to as Foamcore or Closed-cell PVC foamboardand its popularity dates back to the 1930’s where is has been used for Shop fronts ever since. The durability of Foamex can vary greatly but we promise that our Foamex can stand up to outdoor use and is resistant to direct sunlight and water.

Unlike a PVC sign, Foamex is a lot lighter (as little as half the weight of solid PVC), highly resistant to moisture and some chemicals, and is very easy to cut and shape. It also rejects water, making it a great choice for outdoor signage. It is quite possible that many of the shop signs you see each day are made from Foamex.

We offer a range of thicknesses for our Foamex signs, choose from: 3mm, 5mm or 10mm thicknesses

All of our Foamex signs are UV Stable with UV curable inks for added durability and a longer life. Your designs will be printed directly on the board to reduce the chance for imperfections and to ensure a high resolution sharp 1440dpi print every time.
