Frequently Asked Questions
Is this foam PVC sheet suitable for outdoor use?
The sheet can be used in certain sheltered outdoor applications, such as under canopies or in covered display areas. For long-term fully exposed external use, especially in harsh weather or strong sunlight, more specialised exterior-grade materials may be preferable.
Can I print directly onto the surface of the sheet?
Yes, the smooth, even surface is designed to accept direct digital and screen printing inks. As with all substrates, it is advisable to carry out adhesion and colour tests with your specific printing system before mass production.
How can this foam PVC sheet be cut and fabricated?
The sheet can be cut, routed and drilled using standard woodworking or plastic-working tools, such as circular saws, jigsaws, routers and drills. Use sharp blades and appropriate support to achieve clean edges and avoid excessive heat build-up during cutting.
