Product description
This grey 3mm foam PVC sheet is a lightweight, rigid, and moisture-resistant material with a smooth surface that accepts print, paint, and vinyl application. It offers a practical, cost-effective substrate for signage, display, and construction applications.
Foam PVC resists moisture, corrosion, UV exposure, and insect damage — performing reliably in both interior and exterior environments. The smooth, consistent surface is ideal for direct digital printing, making it a staple material in the advertising and signage industry. It also accepts paint, vinyl wrap, and laminate finishes for branded and decorative applications.
Commonly used for signage panels, hoarding, interior cladding, ceiling tiles, exhibition backdrops, POS displays, and construction site graphics. Foam PVC cuts cleanly with standard tools, CNC routers, and laser cutters. It can be screwed, glued, stapled, and bent with a line bender. The grey 3mm sheet suits applications ranging from temporary event signage to permanent interior installations.
