Retail Foamex Board Printing for Effective Shop Signage
At Printed Today, we specialise in high-quality Retail Foamex Board Printing designed specifically for retail environments across the UK. Our POS boards and shop signage solutions are crafted from durable, lightweight PVC foam sheets that ensure vibrant colours, sharp text clarity, and remarkable resistance to daily wear and tear. Whether you require a single promotional sign or a complete store signage overhaul, our service provides full control over size, finish, and turnaround speed.
We offer 5 mm foamex for wall-mounted displays and 10 mm foamex for freestanding or double-sided shop signage. Both thicknesses provide the stability needed for professional presentation while remaining easy to mount, update, or replace as your promotional needs change.
Material Thickness Options
- 5 mm Foamex – perfect for wall-mounted retail signs, shelf talkers, and price tags. Lightweight yet rigid enough to maintain a flat appearance without warping.
- 10 mm Foamex – ideal for freestanding displays, double-sided signs, and high-traffic areas requiring enhanced durability and impact resistance.
Artwork Preparation for Retail Board Printing
- Upload artwork during checkout or email files to [email protected].
- Use PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG or JPEG formats at 150–300 dpi for sharp text and vibrant imagery.
- Include 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to ensure accurate reproduction of your designs.
Every file is manually reviewed before production. If adjustments are needed, we contact you before printing begins to ensure your Retail Foamex Board Printing job aligns perfectly with your brand standards.
