What is Bubble Board?

Bubble board is a rigid plastic display board designed for signage, promotional graphics and display applications. Unlike fluted plastic boards, it uses an internal bubble structure that provides high rigidity while keeping the material lightweight and easy to handle. This makes it a practical choice for projects where strength, durability and a clean printable surface are important.

What is Bubble Board made of?

Bubble board is made from polypropylene with smooth outer faces and a closed bubble core. This construction gives the board a strong, lightweight structure with good surface stability for printing and display use. It is commonly used for signs, exhibition graphics, point of sale materials and larger cut out applications.

Environmental and Material Considerations

Durable and weather resistant. Bubble board is designed to perform in indoor and outdoor environments, with good resistance to moisture and general wear.

Recyclable polypropylene material. Made from polypropylene, bubble board can be recycled where suitable facilities exist.

Low-maintenance surface. The smooth, non porous surface is easy to clean and suitable for display environments where a neat finish is important.
