What is Foamex® Board?

Foamex® is a PVC foam signage board used for printed signs and display panels. It is a solid durable plastic sheet with a smooth surface designed for high-quality printing. Foamex® is widely used for exhibitions, retail signage and point of sale displays.

What is Foamex® Board made of?

Foamex® is made from expanded PVC foam with a dense core and smooth flat outer faces for stable consistent printing. Some foam boards use tougher outer layers with a recycled PVC core to improve durability and scratch resistance.

Environmental and Material Considerations

Fire rated for public spaces. Foamex® boards typically meet BS 476 Part 7 Class 1, making them suitable for exhibition panels and public indoor signage.

Recyclable. Standard Foamex® is recyclable, and recycled versions are available, including boards made from reclaimed PVC.

Certified manufacturing and plastic free alternatives. Produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, with non PVC display boards available for eco-focused signage and FSC certified projects.
