What Are Correx Boards and Why Choose Them?

So, what exactly is a correx board? In short, it’s the brand name for a type of fluted polypropylene sheet. The easiest way to think of it is like plastic cardboard; it has a corrugated, or ‘fluted’, inner layer tucked between two smooth outer sheets. This clever design gives these lightweight plastic boards their fantastic mix of strength and low weight. But unlike cardboard, Correx is made from polypropylene plastic, which offers some huge advantages, especially here in South Africa. The biggest one? It’s completely waterproof, making it the perfect material for weatherproof signage. It won’t get soggy, warp, or fall apart in the rain, so your message stays looking sharp, whatever the British weather decides to do.

But the benefits don’t stop there. Correx is also:

• Lightweight and Easy to Handle: You can easily carry, mount, or move Correx signs without needing a whole team. This makes it perfect for temporary events, festivals, and exhibitions.

• Durable and Impact-Resistant: While it's light, this durable display material can handle knocks and bumps, making it much tougher than a simple poster or foam board for outdoor use.

• Incredibly Cost-Effective: For temporary or semi-permanent displays, Correx offers fantastic value. It gives you a professional finish without the higher cost of materials like aluminium or acrylic.

• Recyclable: As it's made from polypropylene (plastic type 5), Correx is widely recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for your projects.

Its versatility makes it a firm favourite across all sorts of industries. You’ll spot it everywhere: as estate agent signs, on building sites displaying safety information, as temporary directional signs at festivals, and even in garden centres. It's also a popular choice for DIY projects and crafts, from building model aircraft to creating custom pet enclosures.

Custom Correx Board Printing for Impactful Visuals

A blank board is a missed opportunity! Bring your project to life with our high-quality, custom correx board printing service. We can turn a simple sheet into a vibrant, eye-catching visual that gets noticed. Using the latest flatbed printing technology, we print your design directly onto the board's surface. This method ensures your graphics are sharp and your colours are vivid, delivering your message with real impact. Whether you need a straightforward text-based sign or a complex, full-colour photo, our printers can handle it with precision, creating bespoke board designs that truly represent your brand.

If your sign is going outdoors, you need it to last. That's why we use special UV stable inks designed to resist fading. Your printed correx panels will stand up to the sun, staying bright and clear for much longer, which means better value for you. We also offer both single-sided and double-sided printing. Single-sided is great for signs fixed to a wall or fence, while double-sided is perfect for hanging signs, 'For Sale' boards, or any sign that needs to be seen from both directions. Getting your design to us is easy. For the best results, just send over high-resolution artwork – our team can provide templates and guidance to help you get it right. And if you don't have a design? No problem. Our in-house designers can help you create the perfect layout for your custom correx signs.

Choosing the Right Correx Board Sizes and Specifications

Choosing the right size and thickness is key to a successful project, and we offer a huge range of correx board sizes to suit your needs. If you're after standard dimensions, we've got you covered. We stock all the popular A-sizes, from a handy A4 for small notices to a massive A0 for large-scale displays, perfect for fitting into existing frames, as well as standard millimetre sizes. But we know that one size doesn't always fit all. That's why we also offer a full custom cut correx service. Just give us the height and width you need, and we'll cut your boards to your exact measurements, guaranteeing a perfect fit for any space.

The board's thickness is just as important as its dimensions. We offer several correx thickness options, each suited to different jobs. The most popular choices are:

• 3mm: The industry standard for estate agent boards and temporary event signs. It offers the perfect balance of light weight and rigidity for short to medium-term use.

• 3.5mm: Provides a noticeable boost in stiffness and durability. It’s a great choice for larger signs or for displays that need to last longer or withstand tougher conditions.

• 4mm: More stiffness and durability. It’s a great choice for larger signs or for displays that need to last longer or withstand tougher conditions.

• 5mm: For heavy-duty jobs, our thickest boards provide maximum strength. They are ideal for large format correx site boards or any sign that needs to be exceptionally tough.
