PVC foam board is one of the most common materials in the advertising industries. Let's take a look at how it actually performs in printing and signs, and how it compares to other plastic materials.
It seems that PVC foam board has been the ideal material for sign and display since its inception. PVC foam board has an expanded closed-cell core and hard surfaces structure, which makes it inherently waterproof, lightweight, and flat. They are all necessary conditions for advertising materials, and of course, the most important condition is printing capacity.

The printing capacity reflects the printing performance of the PVC foam board. Including whether it can be printed on PVC foam board? Which printing methods is it suitable for? Can it be adapted to different printing inks? Does the print adhere tightly to the PVC foam board?


It can be easily confirmed that PVC foam board can be printed.

The PVC sign board (PVC free foam board) in our PVC foam board series are designed for printing. It has a fine matte finish, multiple colors and larger sizes to suit most printing board needs.

PVC foam board can be silk screen printed, digital printed, sticked with printed adhesive film and painted.

Silk screen printing - It is a manual printing method, suitable for simple printing with few colors, such as warning signs, road signs, real estate sale signs.

Digital printing - It is the ideal solution for more complex print patterns with vibrant colors and gradients.

Sticking printed adhesive film - The printed film has a price advantage, but it is thin and soft. We can attach it to the PVC foam board to achieve the function of printing sign boards.

Paint - Paint may also be a good method when a large area of color coverage is required.

It should be noted that PVC foam board is not suitable for offset printing. The requirements for the substrate of offset printing are rigid sheets with a thickness of less than 1mm, such as PVC sheets, PP sheets or PET sheets.

Other common plastic printing materials

PP corrugated sheet - Compared with PVC foam sheet, PP corrugated sheet also has excellent printing performance. The hollow structure makes it lighter, and it can be die-cut and folded to form a self-standing display board. It is more suitable for short-term indoor and outdoor advertising display.

PP sheet, PVC sheet, PET sheet - the difference in morphology between these thin plastic sheets and PVC foam board may make them incomparable. The three plastic sheets performed similarly in printing.

Acrylic - Acrylic has excellent color brightness and high transparency, and it also has good anti-aging performance for outdoor use.
