A Rigid Solution for Unique Sign Projects

Written by Courtney Lee | Jan 31, 2023 1:20:04 PM

In the sign making world there are countless unique signage projects. Some projects call for temporary products and others call for rigid long-term products. When a specialty long-term rigid project comes your way, a multi-layer rigid substrate is a solution to consider. 

3 Reasons to consider PALBOARD's multi-layer PVC solution for your next project: 

  1. Superior Digital Print Quality
  2. Save Fabrication Time & Money
  3. Extreme Durability

Digital Print Quality

PALBOARD co-extruded multi-layer PVC substrate has an extra smooth, uniform hard surface, which provides digital and traditional printers with excellent ink adhesion and extended retention, even for humid or outdoor applications. 

 

Save Fabrication Time

Using a co-extruded multi-layered sheet shaves off precious processing time, reduces wear and tear, overall expenses, and unnecessary work. PALBOARD with its recycled core is easy to fabricate, while the hard surface formation provides high structural strength. It can be easily V-grooved and folded. 

 

 

Extreme Durability

PALBOARD is not only waterproof and corrosion resistant, but it is also suitable for high humidity and wet displays. It can be easily cleaned and is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including adhesives and lubricants. Alternative lightweight media tends to absorb humidity and is restricted to indoor use only. Release yourself from those constraints by using PALBOARD co-extruded multilayered sheets.

It's ideal for signage requiring an attractive dark back and edges. It can also help save time and money by removing the need to flood pre-coating with white ink.
