10 Things You Need to Know About Foamex
Foamex has become quite a popular material in recent times for signage printing, with a lot of brands choosing Foamex printing for their indoor as well as outdoor signage. The versatility and affordability of the material has made it well worth the popularity, so much so that it is one of the most widely used materials today. So let's take a look into the world of Foamex Board and talk about 10 really interesting facts that are sure to interest you and tell you more about this fantastic material that has taken the signage printing world by storm:
Foamex does not refer to the material per se, the material is actually expanded vinyl, and Foamex is the name of the brand. Produced in Switzerland, the company generally supplies the board across the globe and has patented it.
When looking into the creation of Foamex as a material, it was made by compressing PVC foam (don't let the name fool you, it really does not mean that there is any foam in it) to create a board that was durable and also all-weather resistant.
Foamex is rigid in nature and is also hardwearing. Owing to this fact, Foamex is also lightweight, which makes it so perfect for use in outdoor and indoor signage both. While the heavier materials come with the headache of affixing it as well as transporting it, Foamex Board, on the other hand owing to its lightweight nature, does not pose any of these problems.
Since we mentioned earlier that the material is all weather resistant, this means that the changes in temperature or humidity will not end up affecting it. When you compare it to other lighter materials like Correx, that doesn't do so well in outdoor conditions, Foamex, on the other hand, is perfect for both indoor and outdoor usage, so much so that its longevity ranges from somewhere between 3 to 5 years when used outdoors.
Exactly suited for signage printing, a Foamex board can give you vivid results and really bring your designs to life. You can use various kinds of finishes on your signage, which will give it a professional touch and also an air of being expensive. Hence, when you are looking for cost-effective ways to create professional signage that will also last Foamex becomes one of the best options out there.
Signage made out of Foamex is quite easy to mount and one of the best things about them is the fact that they can be affixed to almost any surface, so much so that you could even use double-sided tape or Velcro to mount them with ease and not have to worry about anything.
Foamex is quite easy to customize owing to its lightweight nature, this means that you can mould it to any size as well as design with something as simple as the conventional tools that are used like a jigsaw, drill, etc.
Another great thing about a Foamex Board is the variety of colours that are available in it. Offered in a wide range of colours, it is quite easy to find a sheet in the colour that you are looking for. However, if you are not looking for coloured sheets in particular, the crisp white colour of Foamex is perfect for you to print your designs on it, giving you a vivid payoff.
Apart from using it just for signage, a Foamex board can also be used for personal purposes in your home. You can use them as decorative whenever you want to cover your walls which might have some imperfections in terms of surface texture or even a bad patch that you want to cover.
Another really unique and exciting feature of a Foamex sheet is that you can use a technique which is known as wrapping, which is generally done to the corners of the board. When this technique is applied, you will generally not need a frame to display your board, and it can act as a standalone entity.
With the different kinds of usage and purposes that we told you about, you can understand how Foamex is such a versatile material that can be used for almost any sort of printing needs! So be it thinking about using it for indoor signage or for outdoor signage purposes, it can suit and serve all your needs without any sort of hassles coming your way. Ranging from how easy it is to transport and mount, to the varied options you get in terms of sizes, and colours Foamex printing when well utilised can go a long way in giving you fantastic results that will only help you in creating the right kind of promotional material for your business.
