Lightweight yet rigid, waterproof and highly durable, printed foamex boards are ideal for shop signs, exhibition displays, promotional boards, directional signage and long-term indoor or outdoor use.

All foamex signs are:

  • Cut to your exact size

  • Printed in full colour (CMYK UV)

  • Delivered fast across the UK

Whether you need a single board or bulk foamex printing for multiple locations, we provide professional-grade results at competitive prices.

What Is Foamex?

Foamex is a rigid PVC foam board widely used in signage and display printing. It combines a smooth printable surface with a lightweight core, making it easy to mount while remaining strong and stable.

Compared to traditional solid PVC, foamex boards are:

  • Lighter

  • Easier to cut and drill

  • Cost-effective for large signage

  • Suitable for both temporary and permanent applications

Foamex is one of the most versatile rigid sign materials available, making it a go-to solution for businesses, retailers, event organisers and exhibition contractors.

3mm vs 5mm vs 10mm Foamex – Which Thickness Do You Need?

Choosing the right thickness depends on where and how your sign will be used.

3mm Foamex Board

  • Ideal for indoor signage

  • Exhibition panels and wall displays

  • Promotional boards

  • Lightweight and economical

Best for short-term or interior use.

5mm Foamex Board

  • More rigid and durable

  • Suitable for short-term outdoor signage

  • Shop signs and event boards

  • Most popular thickness

A strong all-round option for most business signage.

10mm Foamex Board

  • Extra rigidity

  • Long-term display use

  • Freestanding or mounted signage

  • Higher wind resistance when fixed correctly

Best for more permanent installations.

High-Quality UV Foamex Printing

We print directly onto foamex boards using advanced UV flatbed technology.

This ensures:

  • Sharp detail and crisp text

  • Vibrant full-colour graphics

  • Fade-resistant finish

  • Excellent durability

Unlike vinyl-mounted alternatives, direct printing eliminates lifting or peeling and delivers a clean, professional finish.

Optional finishes include:

  • Matt lamination

  • Gloss lamination

  • Dry-wipe coating

  • Anti-graffiti protection

Custom Foamex Board Sizes & Finishing Options

We print foamex boards in custom sizes up to large format panels.

Additional finishing options include:

  • Drilled holes for wall mounting

  • Contour cutting to custom shapes

  • Rounded corners

  • Multiple panel joining for oversized signage

If you’re unsure about specifications, our team can advise on the best solution for your application.

Practical Applications for Foamex Signs

Foamex board printing is suitable for a wide range of uses:

  • Shop signage

  • Retail displays

  • Exhibition panels

  • Trade show backdrops

  • Health & safety signage

  • Construction site boards

  • Directional signs

  • Promotional displays

  • Estate agent boards

Its lightweight structure makes installation simple while maintaining a premium appearance.

Indoor & Outdoor Use

Foamex boards are waterproof and UV stable, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.

For outdoor applications:

  • 5mm or 10mm is recommended

  • Proper mounting improves longevity

  • Lamination can increase durability

While highly weather-resistant, extreme long-term exposure may reduce lifespan over time.

Buying banners in confidence

You can buy from Banner World with confidence. Your job will go through several checks before manufacture. Firstly when your job comes in, we check all your uploaded files and cross-reference each file against your order. At this point, if we see that artwork is incorrect or if there is a file missing we will contact you to request new artwork. Most of our banners and fabrics are manufactured at our large print factory in Europe. Our standard turnaround on items is 5-6 working days for delivery. Even though most of our ordering system has been automated, we still carry out several manual checks before processing your order. If at any point we have a question or a problem with your order you will be contacted before manufacturing.

Our processes

Please read the information below on how your order is processed. Each order goes through several checks before printing. Our file checking service is standard procedure on all orders. Checking your files means that you can place your order in confidence, knowing that we will check to make sure your order and corresponding artwork match and are correct. Anything we are not sure that we will contact you before proceeding.

What is Our Initial checking service?

When you place an online order, we will cross-reference your artwork against your order. At this point, we will check that the artwork sizes and file type match the order. We will make sure we have the correct number of artwork files for the job. At this stage, if anything appears to be incorrect, we will place the order on hold and contact you immediately.

How do we process your order?

Once we are happy with your order, we will then process it. We collate all the information for each job, including finishing and material type. The job information is then sent with your artwork to the pre-press department. Pre-press is where we will create and prepare your job for printing.

Our Pre Press and second checking service.

Pre-press refers to the stage before printing. Here your artwork is converted into the correct format for our machines and finishing processes. At this point, if something is spotted which isn’t correct or if there is a problem we will again contact you.

How do we print and track your order through the factory?

Your job is now batched together with other items on the same material. Each item has assigned to it a unique code. The code is used to track the order through our factory. The information is used to check the material, quantity and finishing information on the item. The order then goes through our print presses.

How do we finish your printed items?

Every job we produce is different to the next, whether it be size, material, shape or finishing. Your printed items will be finished as requested on your order. We automate as much of the finishing as possible, cutting down on labour costs and passing on the savings to you. The Prepress data is inputted into parts of our finishing equipment. Your graphics are now finished to your custom requirements. Each printed product is set up differently for each type of finishing process. A banner that has hem and eyelets will be manufactured and produced in a different way to a flag with a pole pocket.

How are your items packed?

We have now manufactured your items. The finishing pieces now move onto the packing department. At the packing stage, we collate your order. Items get checked off against the order using the order code system. The printed goods get wrapped and packed, ready for despatch.

How do you ship my goods?

Now your item has been packed it is ready to be shipped. From placing your order, your goods have taken approx 24-48 hours to get to this stage. We have a logistics team which arrange the shipping through UPS. Our standard delivery (£15 or free over £250) will now take an additional three days to be delivered to an address on UK mainland and most of mainland Europe. Our standard shipping will travel via road and sea to reach the UK. We do offer a faster 1-day shipping method which is our 4-day turnaround service. The fast turnaround service is expensive on low-value bulky orders and is more cost-effective on higher volume jobs. Items to the US and other worldwide destinations will take longer to be delivered. For items going to Ireland, the Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Scottish highlands etc. please add an extra day onto delivery times
