When it comes to planning a wedding, a corporate exhibition, or a large-scale festival, the atmosphere is set the moment your guests arrive. At Replica Print, we know that first impressions count, and we specialise in high-impact event signage printing that grabs attention, guides crowds, and perfectly reflects your brand. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right material for your boards?
Let’s break down our most popular materials to help you make the perfect choice for your next run of event signage printing.
- Correx: The Temporary Hero
If you are organising a short-term pop-up, a one-day festival, or directional signs that will only be used for a weekend, Correx is your best friend.
- What is it? Correx is a lightweight, fluted polypropylene plastic board.
- The Benefits: It is highly affordable, completely waterproof, and incredibly easy to transport and install using simple cable ties or tape. It is also fully recyclable, which aligns with our strong commitment to sustainability.
- Best Used For: Temporary outdoor signs, directional arrows, and budget-friendly event perimeters.
- Foamex: The Professional All-Rounder
When you need your event signage printing to look sleek, solid, and highly professional without breaking the bank, Foamex is the industry standard.
- What is it? Foamex is a rigid PVC foam board featuring a completely smooth surface. At Replica Print, we offer this in various thicknesses to suit your display needs.
- The Benefits: Unlike Correx, Foamex doesn’t have visible “flutes” or ridges. Its ultra-smooth surface allows for incredible high-resolution print quality. It’s sturdy enough to be propped on an easel or mounted to a wall, making it exceptionally versatile.
- Best Used For: Welcome boards at weddings, high-end exhibition panels, table plans, and indoor corporate displays.
- Interior Foam Board: The Speedy Indoor Solution
Not to be confused with rigid PVC Foamex, interior foam board is an entirely different material built for speed and visual impact indoors.
- What is it? Foam board features a lightweight foam core sandwiched between smooth paper faces.
- The Benefits: It is exceptionally lightweight and perfect for sharp, vibrant indoor displays. Best of all, because we produce this in-house, we can offer interior foam boards on a same and next-day turnaround, complete with your choice of a sleek Matt or high-shine Gloss finish!
- Best Used For: Fast-turnaround indoor presentations, temporary exhibition displays, and lightweight easel boards.
- Dibond: The Premium Heavyweight
If you are designing signage for an annual event that needs to be reused year after year, or if you need absolute structural integrity for a long-term outdoor installation, you need Dibond.
- What is it? Dibond is an aluminium composite material featuring a solid polyethene core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium.
- The Benefits: It is exceptionally rigid, strong, and highly weather-resistant. It will not warp over time and provides a truly premium, high-end finish.
- Best Used For: Permanent outdoor event branding, premium corporate hoarding, and long-term wayfinding signage.
- The Last-Minute Lifesaver: Stick-On Graphics
Did an upcoming exhibition sneak up on you? We’ve all been there. If you have a pesky, forgotten last-minute event, we’ve got you covered. We can provide temporary, water-resistant stick-on graphics to get your branding sorted in a flash. Just like our interior foam boards, we can turn these around on a same and next-day basis to completely save the day.
