Foamex Printing Greater London

Foamex is an easy material to print on. The PVC’s molecular structure gives the Foamex panels a particularly flat, even and, most importantly, white surface, which facilitates the printing process. Printing directly onto Foamex produces a matt effect, but a UV varnish can also be applied to make the image glossier, as well as to give the panel extra protection.

Foamex® is a particularly durable material. Unlike cardboard, for example, Foamex can withstand the elements, and so can be left out in the rain. This makes it suitable for creating outdoor advertising boards. For outdoor use, we recommend using the thicker Foamex panels, like the 10 mm boards.

In addition, Foamex is resistant to any wear and tear to which it may be subjected over time; even large panels do not become misshapen or shrink. However, if the panel is constantly in the sun, the images will tend to become gradually lighter over the years.

Lightweight & Durable

Foamex is a lightweight material. In addition to its durability, its lightweight properties mean it is easy to transport and install.
Foamex is an easy material to work with. The initial shape of the panel can be altered in various ways, such as cutting and milling it, or it can be bent either hot or cold.

In addition, the panel can be drilled to insert screws or metal hooks, and it is easy to glue. These characteristics make Foamex® a very versatile material. For example, it can be used to create a wide range of display items, plaques or hanging signs, as well as classic advertising or information boards.

Fire Resistant

Foamex is a highly fire-resistant material. Foamex is excellent value for money. In certain cases, Foamex can be a good alternative to more expensive materials such as Plexiglas or aluminium.
