Are there any additional finishes for foamex board?
Our standard boards come printed directly onto the foam PVC board.
You can, however, print onto a number of different finishes:
- Gloss Laminate – High shine surface, great for reflecting light and for making bright colours zing
- Matt finish – Soft finish that does reflect light (no surface glare)
- Anti-scratch lamination – helps extend the life of display boards where it comes into contact with finger prints or outside
- Dry Wipe – high gloss finish that be written on, wiped off and then written on again
