Printing & Display
Full-Color Direct UV Printing
Your artwork is printed directly onto the PVC surface using full-color UV printing.
Direct printing supports clear logos, photographs, text, gradients, illustrations and branded backgrounds without mounting a separate printed poster onto the board.
The finished printed surface is durable and scratch-resistant during normal handling, although sharp objects and abrasive cleaning may still damage the graphic.
Single-Sided or Double-Sided
Choose 4/0 or 4/4 PVC Board Printing
Single-Sided
Full-color graphics on the front with the reverse side left unprinted.
Double-Sided
Full-color artwork printed on both sides for hanging, directional or two-direction displays.
Double-sided orders may use matching graphics or different front and back artwork. Submit separate clearly labeled files when each side is different.
Custom Sizes
PVC Board Signs up to 48″ × 96″
Custom PVC Board dimensions are available within production limits up to 48 inches × 96 inches.
This size range works for small identification signs, menus, poster boards, event panels, directional graphics, retail signs, office displays and larger wall-mounted graphics.
Panels larger than 48 × 38 inches are available for store pickup only.
Long-Term Indoor Use
A Strong Choice for Interior Business Signage
PVC Board works especially well for long-term indoor displays because it is lightweight, smooth, water-resistant and more durable than standard foam core.
- Restaurant menu boards
- Retail promotional signs
- Office and lobby graphics
- Wayfinding and directional signs
- Trade show and event panels
- Framed poster displays
- Product information boards
- Service and pricing displays
Short-Term Outdoor Use
Suitable for Properly Installed Temporary Exterior Displays
The water-resistant PVC material and UV-safe printed graphic allow this product to be used for properly installed short-term outdoor signage.
Typical uses include temporary promotions, event directions, contractor notices, property signs and protected exterior displays.
Outdoor performance depends on mounting method, panel size, wind, sunlight, temperature, physical impact and maintenance.
PVC Board should not be treated as a structural sign panel or used as an unsupported long-term exterior display.
Sign Frame Compatibility
1/8-Inch PVC Fits Many Compatible Sign Frames
The 1/8-inch profile fits many sign frames, poster holders, display stands and insert systems designed for thin rigid panels.
Measure the frame opening and interior depth before ordering, and account for any portion of the graphic that may be hidden behind a frame border or retaining rail.
Wall-Mounted Signs
Lightweight PVC Panels for Interior Walls
PVC Board can be installed on compatible walls using screws, anchors, standoffs, adhesive systems or other suitable mounting methods.
The correct installation method depends on panel size, wall material, display duration and environment.
Large panels should use multiple support points to reduce movement, bending and stress around the outer edges.

PVC Sign Design Tips
Create Clear Graphics for the Intended Viewing Distance
Use Readable Text
Choose text sizes appropriate for the distance from which the sign will be viewed.
Improve Visibility
Maintain strong contrast between important text and the background.
Keep It Focused
Use one clear primary headline or call to action instead of overcrowding the panel.
Use Vector Artwork
Vector logos are preferred when available for crisp reproduction.
Use High Resolution
Prepare photographs at sufficient resolution for the final printed size.
Keep It Clear
Phone numbers and web addresses should be large enough to read comfortably.
Menu & Poster Design
Organize Information into Clear Sections
- Use consistent headings, prices and descriptions
- Keep important information at comfortable eye level
- Use enough spacing between individual items
- Avoid overcrowding the panel with small text
- Keep essential information away from frame edges and mounting hardware
Artwork Edge Safety
Keep Critical Content Away from Frames and Mounting Areas
- Keep text, logos, faces and QR codes away from finished edges
- Avoid thin borders that require exact perimeter alignment
- Extend backgrounds through the complete finished area
- Account for portions that may be hidden by a frame, clip, stand or mounting system
Color & Production Notes
Prepare Artwork for Direct UV PVC Printing
- Convert final artwork to CMYK before uploading
- Monitor colors may differ from the finished UV-printed panel
- Convert Pantone and spot colors to CMYK
- Do not rely on unconverted spot colors for exact matching
- Very dark artwork should retain sufficient contrast and shadow detail
- Low-resolution images may appear soft or pixelated when enlarged
- Minor surface, edge and cutting variations may occur during rigid-panel production
Frame Installation
How to Install PVC Board in a Compatible Sign Frame
- Measure the frame: Confirm that the opening and interior depth support a 1/8-inch panel.
- Prepare the frame: Remove sharp debris or damaged hardware.
- Insert the panel: Support the complete PVC Board while sliding it into position.
- Secure the display: Use the frame’s intended clips, rails or retainers.
