When you think of your go-to economical plastic substrate, what comes to mind?
If you don’t think of corrugated plastic, you SHOULD!
Corrugated plastic is a fluted polypropylene plastic substrate that works for a multitude of applications. It was introduced to the sign market about 48 years ago promoting the name changes for Exxon and the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games.
This substrates light-weight tough material, which can be easily cut with a knife, makes it the perfect go-to for the sign industry. The popular item is particularly great for those jobs where your customers need an affordable, durable, yet short-term material. It doesn’t matter if you are a shop that direct prints, prints on vinyl and sticks, or uses cut vinyl colors, because this substrate works for all of those options. So whichever way you operate, corrugated plastic is a good product to keep in stock on your floor!
