Foamex Board Printing

You can choose single Sided or double Sided. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

The options are 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex. 3mm is light and fine for small indoor signs and posters on walls. 5mm is stiffer and better for bigger boards, signs on posts and anything handled. 10mm is very rigid and stands on its own edge, good for freestanding displays.

You can choose 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex or 10mm Foamex. This is the material the item is printed on. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.

You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 1000 × 1000 mm design needs about 3,937 × 3,937 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Foamex Boards come in 11 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. For Foamex Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Foamex Boards come in 11 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. Foamex Boards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Foamex Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Foamex Boards start at £22.01 before delivery.

The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 1000 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and more). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Foamex Boards are made to order by our UK production partner.

If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.

Yes. A printed board screwed to the wall or fascia makes a tidy shop sign. For example, A1 (594 × 841 mm) from £55.58. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.

Signs that are often needed alongside it include A1 Foamex Boards, A2 Foamex Boards, A3 Foamex Boards and Foam Board Signs. Each has its own page with sizes, materials and live prices, and ordering them in the same material keeps a set looking consistent. Add them to one basket: delivery is charged once, and it is free once the goods total reaches £99.

Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. Drill fixing holes with an ordinary drill bit, going slowly, and keep holes at least 10 mm from the edge. Cutting into the print loses the bleed, so allow for it in the design. Foamex Boards are printed on 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex.

It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Foamex Boards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

No. These signs are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)).
