Versatile Correx Retail Boards for In-Store Promotional Displays
Correx Retail Boards are the flexible choice in the UK for in-store promotions, window displays, seasonal campaigns, product launches and dynamic retail marketing. Printed Today specialises in high-quality correx retail boards designed for versatile applications, vibrant print reproduction and reliable performance throughout changing retail environments. Whether you need a single promotional display or hundreds of boards for a multi-store campaign, our promotional boards service gives you full control over size, thickness, finishing and delivery speed to support every retail marketing initiative from new season launches to end-of-line promotions.
We use industry-standard 4 mm fluted polypropylene sheets for lightweight, repositionable and versatile retail signage. For premium displays, double-sided installations or high-traffic locations, 8 mm correx is also available upon request. Every offer signage job is produced using UV-cured or solvent-based inks to ensure maximum colour vibrancy, sharp brand reproduction and consistent quality across all your retail touchpoints—from window displays and aisle-end promotions to department signage and checkout messaging.
Artwork Preparation for Retail Promotional Boards
- Upload artwork during checkout or email files to [email protected].
- Supported formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PNG, PSD and JPEG at 150–300 dpi for professional retail quality.
- Add 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts for accurate brand reproduction.
- For maximum impact, use bold headlines, strong product imagery and clear call-to-action messaging that drives in-store engagement.
All artwork is manually checked before production begins, ensuring brand consistency, colour accuracy and professional presentation. If improvements are needed, our experienced team will contact you to ensure that your correx retail boards align perfectly with your brand standards and campaign objectives—maintaining consistent quality across single-store displays or nationwide retail rollouts.

- A3 (297 × 420 mm) – popular mid-sized format for gondola ends, feature displays, wall-mounted promotions and standalone signage providing strong visibility without overwhelming retail environments.

Finishing Options for Retail Display Requirements
Eyelets – No Eyelets
Recommended for boards fixed directly to walls, fixtures, display units or promotional stands using adhesive methods, magnetic strips or frame systems. Ideal for shelf-edge displays, counter-mounted promotions, wall displays and any retail application where clean presentation without visible mounting hardware maintains premium brand aesthetics and professional store appearance.
Eyelets – Top Only
Perfect for hanging promotional boards from ceiling grids, suspension systems, retail fixtures or cable displays creating prominent overhead positioning. This versatile finishing is the retail industry standard for aisle promotions, department signage, suspended seasonal displays and high-visibility promotional boards requiring easy installation and repositioning as campaigns change throughout retail calendars.
Eyelets – All 4 Corners
The strongest finishing for retail environments requiring secure mounting and professional tension. Four-corner eyelets provide stability for window displays, exterior promotions, high-traffic locations and double-sided boards ensuring flat, taut presentation that maintains brand quality throughout extended campaign periods despite constant customer interaction and environmental factors.
Drill Holes – No Drill Holes
Best for retail displays using adhesive mounting, inserted into display stands, positioned in promotional fixtures or mounted in frame systems. Ideal for premium retail environments, rental spaces, frequently changed promotions and applications where drilling would compromise fixture integrity or violate lease agreements in shopping centre units.
Drill Holes – Top Only
Useful for semi-permanent retail installations hanging from ceiling beams, department fixtures, branded displays and retail infrastructure using screw or bolt mounting. Popular for seasonal department signage, long-running promotional campaigns and retail environments where adhesive methods lack necessary holding power for board weight or duration requirements.
Drill Holes – All 4 Corners
Suitable for permanent or extended-duration retail installations on feature walls, branded fixtures, exterior signage and promotional systems. Four-corner drill holes allow stable screw-fixing to retail infrastructure, preventing movement in high-traffic environments and ensuring offer signage maintains professional positioning throughout campaign lifecycles from weeks to months.
Transparent Pricing Structure for Retail Campaigns
Every correx retail boards order uses clear square-foot pricing with volume discounts supporting both single-store and chain-wide campaigns:
Total Price = (Width × Height × Sq-Ft Rate) × Delivery Speed × Printing Option × Lamination (If Selected)
Larger sizes and bulk quantities automatically benefit from reduced per-square-foot rates, delivering exceptional value for multi-location rollouts, seasonal campaigns and comprehensive promotional programs. Express delivery options ensure boards arrive for campaign launch dates, while standard service provides economical solutions for planned initiatives.
