Custom Rigid Signs & Boards:
Industrial-Grade Signage for Every Environment
From construction sites in London to retail storefronts in Manchester, high-impact signage is the face of your business. At Printways, we manufacture professional rigid signs and boards designed to withstand the British weather while giving razor-sharp branding.
The Industrial Materials We Master
Why Quality Board Printing Matters for Your Business
In a competitive market like London or Birmingham, your physical presence is just as important as your digital one. A faded, peeling sign doesn't just look bad—it sends a signal that your business doesn't care about details. At Printways, we use industrial UV-stable inks that bond directly to the substrate. This ensures that even in the harsh coastal winds of Liverpool or the industrial environments of Leeds, your rigid signs remain vibrant for years.
Our Flatbed Industrial Printers are capable of printing high-definition graphics at 1440dpi directly onto large boards. This eliminates the need for vinyl overlays that can bubble or peel over time. Whether you need Estate Agent Boards in Bristol or Site Safety Signs in Glasgow, our workflow is optimized for speed, precision, and durability.
The Importance of Material Choice
Choosing the right board is a science. If you're a developer in Sheffield, you might need lightweight Correx for temporary perimeter fencing. If you're a high-street retailer in Edinburgh, you’ll want the sleek, non-reflective finish of Matt Laminated Foamex for your indoor promotions. For permanent external branding in Newcastle, nothing beats Aluminium Dibond for its rust-proof and anti-warp properties.
To keep your professional brand unified, don't forget to pair your heavy-duty signage with our A4 Stapled Booklets for newsletters and Branded Notepads for site meetings.
Signage Expertise: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Correx and Foamex?
Correx is a fluted plastic (looks like cardboard but made of plastic). This makes it ultra-light and perfect for temporary outdoor use. Foamex is a solid, compressed PVC board with a smooth finish. This makes it much more durable and better for high-quality image print indoors.
How long will Aluminium Dibond signs last outdoors?
Dibond is the "King of Exterior Signage." When printed with industrial UV inks, it can easily last 5 to 7 years without fading or warping, even in the wet and windy climate of Northern UK cities.
Are Foamex boards fire-rated for exhibitions?
Yes, our Foamex boards are Class B1 Fire Rated. This is a mandatory need for most UK show venues like the NEC Birmingham or ExCeL London.
Can you print on both sides of a rigid board?
Absolutely. We offer double-sided printing on all substrates. This is mainly popular for Estate Agent "For Sale" boards and swinging street signs where visibility from both directions is crucial.
What size can you print up to?
Our standard board size is **8ft x 4ft (2440mm x 1220mm)**. However, because we use industrial tiling techniques, we can create signs of any size by seaming multiple boards together smoothly.
Is delivery free to major UK cities?
Yes, Printways offers Free Tracked UK Delivery on all rigid board orders. Whether you're in Central London or the Scottish Highlands, we've got you covered.
