Versatile Signboards for Any Situation
Go with Correx for outdoor, short-term use. Aluminium composite, popularly known as Dibond, is durable and strong—ideal for long-term outdoor use in harsher environments.
Foamboard is lightweight, cost-effective, repels water, and can be used internally or externally with a medium-term lifespan. All can be finished with drilled holes for hanging or adhesive foam tape secured to the rear for fixing to a wall.
For example foamboards are popularly used as dry-wipe boards for internal annual calendars, etc. A dry-wipe laminate finish can be applied for a whiteboard effect for any of our signboards.
