6mm Correx Boards

Consider 6mm Correx when your project calls for a more substantial material thickness. Suitability for larger signs will also depend on the board's dimensions, flute orientation and mounting method.

10mm Correx Boards

Our 10mm Correx option is intended for customers requiring a thicker fluted sign board. For larger or more demanding installations, check that the board and supporting structure are appropriate for the intended use.

Correx Boards for Construction Site Signs

Printed Correx is commonly used for temporary construction signage, contractor information, directional boards and site advertising.

Its lightweight design makes it practical for many short-term applications, while printed branding and clear text help businesses communicate essential information.

For larger construction applications, browse our Site Board Printing product.

Where signage must meet specific safety or regulatory requirements, confirm the necessary design, dimensions and installation specification before ordering.

Correx Boards for Estate Agents

Correx is widely used for estate agent signage because it is lightweight, economical and suitable for temporary property advertising.

Printed signs can feature estate agency branding, telephone numbers, website details and property marketing information.

Choose an appropriate size and thickness for the intended installation, and check any requirements for posts, supporting frames or fixings.

Event, Retail and Promotional Correx Signs

Correx boards can also be used for:

• Event directional signs and temporary venue information
• Promotional campaigns and retail advertising
• School, club and charity event signage
• Temporary parking and visitor information
• Market stalls, exhibitions and local business promotions

The board size should be selected according to the viewing distance, amount of information and available display space.

Correx vs Foamex vs Aluminium Composite

Correx is generally the preferred option for lightweight, economical, temporary signage.

Foamex, a PVC foam board, provides a smoother solid-faced material for retail signs, exhibition graphics, wall-mounted signs and display panels.

Aluminium composite is often a better candidate for longer-term, more rigid outdoor signage, subject to the product specification and mounting requirements.

Browse our Foamex Board Printing options or our wider Rigid Board Printing range to compare alternatives.

Correx boards are lightweight, fluted polypropylene plastic sheets commonly used for temporary signage. Their corrugated structure provides a practical combination of low weight and durability for printed signs.

What thicknesses of Correx board are available?

Fantasy Prints offers 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 10mm Correx sign board products. The best thickness depends on the size of your sign, its intended application and the method of installation.

Can Correx boards be printed on both sides?

Our range includes standard A4, A3, A2 and A1 Correx signs, plus options for custom dimensions. Contact Fantasy Prints if you need a different size or a quotation for larger signs.
