Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, download the relevant template from the Production templates section above. Follow the instructions provided and remember to remove the 'Guide' layer before exporting your artwork as a PDF.
For the best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are in CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours, these will be converted to CMYK during production, which may affect how your colours appear in print.
To avoid font issues, make sure all fonts are embedded or converted to outlines before exporting your PDF. For readability, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For the best print quality, aim for images between 300dpi and 450dpi at their final print size. Lower resolutions may appear blurry or pixelated, while higher resolutions can increase file sizes. Check product template for any specific requirements.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, include crop marks with a 10mm offset and document bleed when exporting your artwork as a PDF. Refer to the relevant product template for the required bleed specifications, as these vary by product.
All artwork must be supplied as a print ready PDF. We recommend exporting in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally using the PDF/X 1a:2001 standard.

Canva uses RGB colour mode by default, which is designed for screens rather than print. For the best printing results, make sure you select CMYK when exporting your artwork. Converting from RGB to CMYK can cause slight colour shifts, so always check your exported PDF carefully before uploading to avoid unexpected results.
Need help with colours? Read our Canva colour guide.
Use fonts of at least 10pt to maintain legibility and keep important text within the safe zone. Use images at 300dpi or higher at their final size to avoid blurry or pixelated results.
Need help with image quality? Read our artwork resolution guide or watch our YouTube tutorial on how to export Canva designs for print.
Extend backgrounds, colours and images into the bleed area to avoid unwanted white edges after trimming. Keep important text, logos and design elements within the safe zone, and follow the bleed requirements for your chosen product.
Need help setting up bleed? Read our Canva bleed setup guide.
When exporting your finished design from Canva, select PDF Print and enable 'Crop Marks and Bleed'. This ensures your artwork includes the necessary bleed for printing. Remember to remove any template guides before downloading your file.

Foamex is a rigid expanded PVC board with a smooth surface, used for retail signage, exhibition displays, advertising boards and event signage.
Although often described as foam board, it is different from paper faced foam core board. Foamex is made from PVC and is water resistant, making it suitable for indoor displays and temporary outdoor signs.
Choose 3mm Foamex for a lighter board, particularly for smaller signs or displays mounted against a supporting surface. The 5mm option provides greater rigidity and is a versatile choice for retail and exhibition signage. Choose 10mm when you need a thicker, more substantial board with less flexibility.
Consider your sign’s size and how it will be supported as well as its thickness. Larger boards need adequate support, and a thicker board will not stand upright on its own.
Yes. Foamex signs are water resistant and suitable for temporary outdoor use. They can last up to two years outdoors, but this is an estimate rather than a guaranteed lifespan.
Weather exposure, positioning and installation affect how long the board and print remain in good condition. For more permanent outdoor signage, consider our Dibond signs.
Choose Foamex when you want a smooth printed surface for retail signs, exhibition panels, event displays or temporary outdoor signage.
Correx is a lightweight, economical option for temporary campaigns, with a corrugated structure and slightly ridged surface. Dibond offers greater rigidity and durability for signage intended to remain in place, particularly outdoors.
Our printed Foamex boards are available in standard sizes from A4 to A0, with portrait and landscape options. Select Custom to enter dimensions that suit your display space.
Custom size changes the board’s dimensions. If you also need a shaped outline or rounded corners, select Cut to Shape and supply the required cut path.
Yes. Choose Single Sided for printing on the front only, with the back left blank, or Double Sided for printing on both faces.
Double sided Foamex signs are useful for displays viewed from either direction. Supply artwork for both sides and choose a display method that keeps both faces visible. The lamination options listed on this product apply to one side only.
Matt lamination gives your sign a low sheen finish, while gloss adds a shiny surface that enhances the appearance of colours and images. Both add a protective layer over the print.
Choose dry wipe lamination if you want to write on your board with suitable dry wipe markers and erase the markings for reuse. Select the dedicated Dry Wipe option rather than standard gloss lamination for this purpose.
Foamex boards can be mounted to a suitable surface or displayed on an easel or supporting stand. Choose fixings and supports suited to the board’s size, weight and display location.
You can order 5mm drill holes in the top two corners or all four corners. These are positioned automatically, so you do not need to mark them on your artwork. Keep important text and logos clear of the drilling areas.
For different hole sizes or positions, select Cut to Shape and mark the required holes using a spot colour named CUT. Follow our cut path guide when preparing your file.
Yes. Select Cut to Shape for a custom outline, including rounded corners. You must create the required cut path in your artwork to show exactly where the board should be cut.
Follow our cut path guide, which explains how to mark the outer shape using CUTTER and internal cuts using CUT. For a standard rectangular board, select Square Corners.
Yes. Use Versions to order different designs with the same size, thickness and finishing specifications. Enter the number of designs under Versions and the number of copies needed for each under Quantity Per Version.
For example, 3 versions with a quantity of 2 per version gives you 6 Foamex boards in total. Be sure to supply separate artwork for each design.
Turnaround times depend on your chosen product specifications and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost. (Quantity limits apply) To avoid delays, make sure we receive your artwork before the cut off time shown on the product page and in your basket.
