Foamex FAQ — Ireland

Printed foamex boards in Ireland typically start from around €15–€28 per sheet depending on thickness (3mm, 5mm, or 10mm), size, and print finish. Standard sheet size is 2440mm × 1220mm (8ft × 4ft). PrintNPack provides free quotes with no obligation.

5mm foamex is the most popular thickness for indoor signage and exhibition panels in Ireland. Pricing depends on sheet size, print area, and laminate finish — contact PrintNPack for a quote on your specific dimensions.

Key price factors: foamex thickness (3mm vs 5mm vs 10mm), sheet dimensions, number of boards, print coverage, laminate finish (matt or gloss), mounting holes or hanging systems, and delivery location. Larger quantities reduce the per-board cost.

The standard foamex sheet size is 2440mm × 1220mm (8ft × 4ft). We can cut to custom sizes within this maximum — popular sizes include A0, A1, A2, and bespoke dimensions for retail displays and exhibition stands.

Standard foamex board printing is typically 3–5 business days after artwork approval. Larger orders or complex finishing may take longer. Rush turnaround may be available for urgent exhibition or retail deadlines — call with your date.

3mm foamex is lightweight — ideal for wall-mounted signs and short-term displays. 5mm is the most popular all-round choice for exhibition panels and retail signage. 10mm offers maximum rigidity for freestanding displays and premium presentations. 5.5mm sits between 5mm and 10mm for extra stiffness without the weight of 10mm.

Foamex (also called Forex or PVC foam board) is a lightweight, rigid expanded PVC sheet used for indoor signage, exhibition graphics, and retail displays. It has a smooth white surface ideal for direct UV printing and is easy to cut, drill, and mount.

PVC foamex is expanded polyvinyl chloride foam — the same material sold under brand names like Foamex and Forex. It is lightweight, waterproof on the surface, and prints with vibrant UV colours. For permanent outdoor signage, consider Correx or Dibond instead.

Foamex is rigid PVC foam board — best for indoor signage, exhibitions, and sheltered displays. Correx (corrugated plastic) is fluted and weather-resistant — better for outdoor estate agent boards, site signage, and temporary outdoor use. Choose foamex for premium indoor graphics; correx for outdoor durability.

Send print-ready artwork as PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution PNG/JPG at 150–300 DPI at final size. Include 3mm bleed if your design goes to the edge. Our design team can help prepare files or create artwork from your logo and brief.

We use direct UV printing onto the foamex surface — vibrant, sharp colours with excellent detail for logos, photos, and text. Optional matt or gloss laminate protects the print and extends durability for high-traffic retail and exhibition use.

Foamex boards can be mounted with double-sided tape (lightweight signs), pre-drilled holes with screws or standoffs, specialised hanging systems, or simply leaned against a wall for temporary displays. We can add drilled holes or hanging hardware on request.

Yes. Our in-house design team can create professional foamex signage from your logo, brand guidelines, or brief. Contact us for a design consultation — we prepare proofs before printing.

Foamex is primarily designed for indoor use. It can be used outdoors for short-term events (1–2 days) in dry conditions. For permanent outdoor signage, we recommend Correx boards or PVC banners which are weather-resistant.
