PRINTED BOARDS
CLEAR-CUT, SOLID, DURABLE.
High-end appearance and unlimited indoor and outdoor applications
Printed boards constitute the cornerstone in advertising and branding. They are easy to handle, practical to install, durable and offer an outstanding visual effect whilst remaining cost-effective.
Simple concepts that deliver
A wall sign, what could appear as a simple sheet of plastic-like material, is often the first experience that a customer has with your company’s brand. And this can also extend to different parts of the customer experience, with branded panels becoming part of a point of sales’ decor or an advertising stand. Not to mention their widespread use in the construction of exhibition booths, where the audience is overwhelmed by all sorts of stimuli and exhibitors need to work hard to stand out and impress.
Signage
Rigid printed panels are widely used both as advertising boards for temporary promotions mid to long-term campaigns. Sturdiness and resilience make them suitable for very large applications and outdoor use in marketing, as well as other more functional and informative signage for the general public.
Retail
Printed boards find their place within retail premises as a fixed, hanging or mobile solution to deliver promotional or instructional messages. But also as a semi-permanent display, in shop-windows or pop-up advertising stands. Their professional look and the ease of cleaning makes them perfect for use in bars, pubs and restaurants as impactful backdrops, promotional boards and large menus.
Exhibitions
Commonly used as backdrops for certain areas of a booth or as part of a stand’s construction at a trade fair. They are quick to install and can be merged, glued or screwed together to cover large surfaces. We often recommend their use as part of exhibition frame systems for the ease of installation and to give alternative options to textile panels for a different visual effect.
Events
A neat way to cover areas of different sizes for one-off events and ceremonies where full venue dressing is paramount to deliver the experience. Printed boards can be used as way-finding solutions, and also as backdrops and stage skirts for conferences, media and corporate events.
Product benefits
Strong & lightweight
We use foam, plastic and composite sheets that are sturdy and have exceptional dimensional stability whilst keeping their specific weight at a minimum. This facilitates their transportation and handling, even in large quantities or for big one-piece panels.
Durable & weather resistant
Our printed boards have a very long indoor lifespan and, being waterproof and UV-stable, are excellent for mid to long-term outdoor applications.
High-quality print
We have chosen printable surfaces that are perfect for high-definition graphics and even photographic images. The precision of our flatbed UV printers guarantees a neat and professional result.
Reduced glare
All our boards have a matte finish that limits the reflection from natural and artificial light, resulting in deep colours with a natural appearance.
Customised formats
Our boards can be cut-to-shape printed on both sides, adapting to most circumstances of use within buildings, shops and stands.
Easy to install
Printed panels can be drilled, punched, riveted, bolted, you name it. When relevant, they can be glued or screwed together to seamlessly cover surfaces wider than their maximum printable size.
Washable
All materials used are weatherproof and completely hand washable with the use of common detergents.
Akyprint
AkyPrint is a Polypropylene sheet that grounds its strength on being extremely light, yet durable and offering a quality surface for professional digital printing.
The core is cleverly conceived with a bubble structure that keeps the total weight of the panel down but without compromising the dimensional stability and the resistance to external agents, including chemical, oil, scratches and, of course, the weather.
AkyPrint is suitable for both single and double-sided print and can be utilised both for temporary and semi-permanent applications.
Available in 3.3mm/900gsm to 9.6mm/2600gsm
Foamex
Commonly known as Foamex, it is made of compressed PVC that gives a strong durable, lightweight board with a non-porous surface that works particularly well with digital flatbed UV printers. It has an optimal ink adhesion and always gives a professional appearance to any graphics.
The material behaves remarkably well when exposed to the elements. Its waterproof features prevent any structural distortion or discolourations, maintaining the consistent visual performance of the printed graphics.
Foamex is an industry-standard that we supply in different sizes and thickness, based on the customer’s requirements (1mm, 3mm, 5mm, 8mm & 10mm).
Correx
Correx is the trade name for the corrugated polypropylene sheets used as branding and advertising boards, as well as in packaging and product displays. The internal structure of the material is semi-empty, with a substantial weight reduction that makes it particularly manageable, yet resilient.
The empty core gives the dual benefit of generating branding opportunities and protecting the underneath surfaces. Very easy to clean with a low level of moisture absorbency, can be used indoor and outdoor guaranteeing a lasting performance.
Provided in 3mm, 6mm & 8mm
Dibond
Dibond is a well known composite material in which a solid polyethene core is sandwiched between two aluminium sheets. It’s our most premium and durable solution.
The metallic exterior provides a contemporary sharp look, ideal for exterior signs, and permanent wall branding. The polythene inner layer has a specific weight lower than the metallic outer keeping the overall weight to a minimum whilst adding the desired thickness and strength to the overall surface.
These boards are best suited for outdoor use but can be used to create smart indoor decorations, particularly fashionable in a professional environment and offices, thanks to the smooth surface and the clean edges that, for their natural appeal, are installed without any coating or encasing.
Available in the popular 3mm version
