Quick comparison
- Correx (corrugated plastic) — lightweight, cost-effective, great for shorter outdoor campaigns and estate boards.
- Foamex / foam PVC — smoother face, good indoor/outdoor display boards.
- ABS — tougher rigid plastic for more premium, longer-life signage.
Choose based on lifespan, mounting and weather. Full signage overview: signage guide.
