PVC boards available in our offer

Rigid PVC

Rigid PVC is used for signs, boards and information panels where a stable, more robust substrate is required. It is a practical option for hanging or standing promotional boards, retail communication and display elements that need clear, full-colour UV printing.

Foamed PVC

Foamed PVC board is made from polyvinyl chloride and has a significantly lower weight than hard PVC. Its smooth surface supports clear, detailed printing, while the board structure makes it easy to cut to size or shape for advertising boards, letters, fair stands and window decorations.

PVC boards are versatile rigid substrates for advertising, information and display applications. They are used wherever a printed board must keep its shape, present the message clearly and be easy to adapt to the required format. Thanks to UV printing, the design can be applied in full colour directly onto the board surface, including double-sided printing when the application requires visibility from both sides.

What makes PVC boards practical for advertising?

The main advantage of PVC boards is their ease of processing. The material can be cut to size, cut to a custom outline or milled into more complex forms such as letters, logos and shaped advertising elements. This makes it suitable not only for standard boards, but also for spatial signage, shop communication, trade fair displays and structural parts of advertising systems.

Foamed PVC has a smooth surface that supports clear, high-resolution printing. It is significantly lighter than hard PVC, which is useful for hanging signs, window decorations, promotional boards and exhibition elements that need to be easy to handle. Hard PVC is selected when a more rigid and durable substrate is needed for signs, information boards or heavier display structures.

Where are PVC boards used?

  • advertising and information boards for retail, offices and public spaces,
  • trade fair stands, showroom displays and presentation systems,
  • 3D letters, logos and shaped brand elements,
  • window decorations and hanging promotional signs,
  • advertising coffers, heavy stands and construction elements for display systems.

How to choose the right PVC board?

The choice depends on the expected rigidity, weight, mounting method and exposure type. Available thicknesses include 1.00 mm, 3.00 mm, 5.00 mm and 10.00 mm. Foamed PVC boards are available in a standard board format of 3.05 × 2.05 m, while hard PVC boards are available in 2.44 × 1.22 m; other sizes can be discussed on request. For shaped projects, specify whether the board should be cut to size or cut to a custom outline.

Practical guidance before ordering PVC boards

When planning PVC boards for advertising or display use, start with the place of installation and the way the board will be mounted. A hanging promotional board, a window decoration and a freestanding display element place different demands on material thickness, weight and finishing. Thinner boards are useful for light communication elements, while thicker boards are usually selected when greater stiffness or a more solid visual effect is required.

Customers may also refer to this product as printed PVC panels, PVC signs, foamed PVC signs or PVC advertising boards. These names usually describe the same purchasing need: a rigid printed substrate that can be adapted to a specific format, shape and display function. The final specification should always be based on the required material type, thickness, print side and finishing method.

Hard PVC or PVC foam board?

Board type Typical use When to choose it
Hard PVC boards Signs, boards, information boards and heavy stands For projects where higher rigidity and a more robust substrate are important.
PVC foam boards Advertising boards, fair stands, letters and window decorations For lighter elements that still require a smooth surface and clear print.

File preparation and production notes

For the best result, prepare artwork at the final production size or at an agreed scale. If the board will be milled, cut to shape or used for letters and logos, the cut contour should be supplied as a separate vector path. This helps avoid ambiguity during production and ensures that the printed area and the cutting line are correctly aligned.

  • Check whether the board needs one-sided or double-sided printing.
  • Allow for mounting points, holes or edges if they are part of the design.
  • Keep important text and logos away from the cutting line.
  • For shaped elements, provide clean vector contours without unnecessary duplicate lines.
  • Match the thickness to the size, stiffness and installation method.

Quotations and custom formats

The final price depends on material type, board size, thickness, print coverage, finishing and possible custom cutting. The listed price is an average price per material, so for non-standard formats, larger orders or more complex finishing, it is best to contact the sales department for an individual quotation.

FAQ

What are PVC boards used for?
PVC boards are used for advertising signs, information boards, trade fair stands, showroom displays, letters, logos, window decorations and structural elements of advertising systems. They are suitable when a rigid printed substrate and custom finishing are required.
What is the difference between hard PVC and foamed PVC?
Hard PVC is selected for more rigid signs, boards and heavier display structures. Foamed PVC is lighter and has a smooth surface for clear printing, making it useful for promotional boards, hanging signs, letters and exhibition elements.
Can PVC boards be cut to a custom shape?
Yes. PVC boards can be cut to size or milled into custom shapes, including letters, logos and more complex outlines. For shaped orders, it is recommended to supply a clear vector cutting contour with the print file.
Can PVC boards be printed on both sides?
Yes, the material can be successfully printed on both sides. Double-sided printing is useful for hanging signs, window displays and boards viewed from two directions. The final specification should include the print side and finishing requirements.
