Helpful answers
Foam board printing FAQ
Is this the same as Forex board?
“Forex” is commonly used for rigid expanded PVC foam board. This product is a smooth white rigid PVC foam board, not paper-faced craft foamcore.
Is foam board suitable outdoors?
It can handle sheltered, short-term use, but it is primarily recommended for indoor displays. For prolonged outdoor exposure, speak to us about Correx, ABS or another suitable substrate.
Which thickness should I choose?
Choose 2 mm for smaller economical graphics, 3 mm for most displays, and 5 mm where additional rigidity is important.
How should I prepare artwork?
Supply print-ready artwork at finished size plus 3 mm bleed on every edge, preferably as a CMYK PDF. Keep text at least 5 mm inside the finished edge. The live preview shows exactly how your file sits on the board, and we check size, bleed and resolution before production.
What if my file is a different shape to the board?
The preview shows the difference in millimetres. Choose Fit whole design to keep everything with a white border, Fill the board to trim the edges, or match the board size to your file.
Can you design it for me?
Yes. Select Design for me and our team will contact you for your brief. The design service adds exactly R500 ex VAT to the order.
Can large boards be couriered?
Courier is available up to A0. Larger boards must be collected from the selected Cape Town location to reduce the risk of transit damage.
Do I pay courier on every item?
No. Each product page shows a delivered price, but when you courier more than one eligible item they ship together in one parcel. Your cart re-prices the courier once for the combined weight and shows the saving before you pay.
