Description

Introducing our premium Cardboard Sign Printing Service, the ideal temporary signage solution for shop displays, business events (trade shows, conferences and exhibitions) and general business usage.ย 

We offer two board types depending on your display needs. Our 2000mic Display Board provides a 2mm thick card surface thatโ€™s perfect for small indoor signs or point-of-sale applications. For larger or freestanding displays, we offer a premium 10mm honeycomb sign board material. Honeycomb is lightweight yet rigid, and lasts longer than Display Board. Both options can be used in sheltered areas for very short-term applications, but they are not waterproof or weatherproof. For outdoor signage, we recommend Correx, Foamex or Aluminium Composite signs.

Regardless of which signage option you choose, we guarantee sharp, vibrant and long-lasting digital printing quality. Select your own sizing and choose from single or double-sided print, ensuring your sign is completely bespoke to your business’s requirements. Both materials are fully recyclable and printed in full colour, so you can choose the right balance of strength, weight, and budget for your project.

Common Uses for Cardboard Advertising Signs

Our cardboard sign printing service is the ideal temporary signage solution for businesses that need lightweight, professional and affordable printed displays. Manufactured in full colour and available in custom sizes, our cardboard signs are perfectly suited to indoor advertising, retail displays and short-term promotional use. Here are just some of the common use cases our clients use these signs for:

Shop Displays and Retail Promotions

Use custom cardboard signs for store advertising displays, product launches, sale promotions, shelf messaging, counter displays and branded retail graphics. They are easy to move around busy shop floors and help present your offers clearly to customers.

Point-of-Sale Applications

Cardboard signs are perfect for point-of-sale campaigns where you need bold, full-colour graphics without investing in permanent signage. Use them to highlight prices, QR codes, special offers, new products and promotional messages.

Events, Trade Shows and Exhibitions

For trade shows, conferences and exhibitions, cardboard signs offer a lightweight and practical display solution. They can be used for stand graphics, sponsor boards, registration areas, directional signage and temporary branded displays.

Informational and Directional Signage

Printed cardboard signs are also useful for temporary indoor directions, customer guidance, visitor notices, queue signs and meeting room signage. They are quick to produce, easy to position and ideal when signage is only required for a limited period.

For outdoor or long-term signage requirements, we recommend choosing Foamex, Correx or Aluminium Composite signs instead.

FAQ

What sizes can I order for my custom cardboard signs?ย 

We print to your exact sizing requirements. Whether you need an A2, A3 or a completely custom size, we can accommodate.ย 

What material do you use for cardboard sign printing?

We offer two cardboard sign board material options. Choose from 2000mic Display Board or 10mm Honeycomb Board. Both these signage options are highly lightweight, allowing easy portability between functions.ย 

Are these signs suitable for outdoor use?

They can be used for short-term temporary outdoor use; however, they donโ€™t hold up well against the weather. They tend to perform better in indoor environments. We recommend Foamex or Aluminium Composite signs for outdoor signage requirements.ย 

Can I print on both sides of the board?

Yes. We can print single or double-sided cardboard signs.ย 

Do you provide custom shapes or contour cutting?

For sure. We can custom-cut to your requirements. For this requirement, please contact us directly to discuss.ย 

Whatโ€™s the maximum size you can print?

We can print to any height but have a maximum width of 2.4m.ย 

Do you offer trade discounts or bulk pricing?

Yes, we offer industry-leading bulk pricing structures and trade pricing. Please apply for a trade account in the footer of this page if you want to take advantage of our trade pricing.ย 

How quickly can I get my custom cardboard signs delivered?

Depends on what quantities are ordered. However, our standard lead time is typically 5-7 working days. If you need a precise delivery date or are working to a tight deadline, please contact us directly.ย 

Can I upload my own artwork online?

Yes. This is a custom print signage service. You provide us with your artwork and we print that exact image. Artwork can be uploaded with the order on every product page.ย 

Whatโ€™s the best use for cardboard advertising signs?

Typical use cases for cardboard signs include point of sale, shop displays and event signage.ย 

Can cardboard signs be laminated or coated?

Yes, we can finish your signs with a matt or laminate coating if required. Please let us know if this is a requirement.ย 

Are cardboard display signs recyclable?

100%. Our display boards are made from recyclable materials and can be disposed of with normal cardboard waste.

Can your cardboard sign printing service match my artwork colours exactly?

Absolutely. Our cutting-edge digital printing technologies enable us to accurately match the colours provided in your artwork.ย 

Can cardboard signs be hung from ceilings?

Yes, our cardboard signs can be used as hanging signs in shops, showrooms, events and exhibition spaces. They are lightweight and easy to position, making them a great option for overhead promotions, aisle markers, directional signage and indoor advertising displays. The best fixing method will depend on the size, material and where the sign is being installed.

Are cardboard signs suitable for retail point-of-sale displays?

Absolutely. Cardboard signs are ideal for retail point-of-sale displays, including sale promotions, product launches, counter displays, shelf messaging and seasonal campaigns. They offer a cost-effective way to display bold, full-colour graphics without investing in permanent signage, making them perfect for short-term retail promotions.

What is the best cardboard material for larger signs?

For larger cardboard signs, we usually recommend our 10mm honeycomb board. It provides a more rigid structure while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. This makes it well suited to exhibition boards, retail advertising signs, freestanding displays and larger promotional graphics.

Can I order multiple designs in one order?

Yes, you can order multiple designs in one order. This is ideal if you need a range of promotional signs, campaign graphics, product displays or directional signs printed at the same time. Please upload your artwork files clearly labelled, or contact our team if you need help setting up a multi-design order.

Do cardboard signs bend or curl?

Cardboard signs can bend if they are handled roughly, stored incorrectly or exposed to moisture. For the best results, we recommend storing them flat, keeping them dry and using them indoors. If you need a more rigid option for larger signs, our 10mm honeycomb board is the better choice.

Specifications

Artwork Requirement

Specification

Preferred file formats

PDF, AI or EPS files are preferred. High-resolution JPEG or PNG files may also be accepted where suitable.

Colour format

Please supply artwork in CMYK colour mode where possible. RGB files can be converted, but colours may print differently from what you see on screen.

Resolution

We recommend 300dpi at full print size for the sharpest result. For larger display boards viewed from a distance, lower resolution artwork may still be suitable.

Bleed

Please add 3mm bleed on all edges unless advised otherwise. This helps prevent unwanted white edges after trimming.

Safe area

Keep important text, logos and key design elements at least 5mm inside the trim edge.

Fonts

Please outline or embed all fonts before sending your artwork.

Cut lines

For custom-shaped cardboard signs, please supply a separate cut path as a vector line, clearly marked in the artwork file.

Single-sided print

Supply one print-ready artwork file for the front of the sign.

Double-sided print

Supply front and back artwork as clearly labelled pages or separate files.

White areas

White areas in your design will usually be left unprinted unless a specific white ink process is required and confirmed before production.

Borders

We do not recommend thin borders close to the edge, as small trimming movement can make them appear uneven.

File checking

We will check your artwork before production and contact you if there are any major issues.

Turnaround and Delivery

This product takes roughly 5-7 working days to produce and dispatch. Larger volume orders may take 7-10 working days. If you have tight deadlines or require a specific delivery date, contact our sales team directly to discuss.
