122cm x 244cm Foamex Printing – Maximum Coverage, One Continuous Panel
Need signage that covers a genuinely large area without joins, seams or alignment work? Our 122cm x 244cm Foamex Board Printing delivers the full-sheet format with crystal-clear graphics across all 32 square feet — ideal for construction hoarding, shop fascias, exhibition walls, event backdrops and large-format branded panels. Printed Today produces full-sheet Foamex printing on rigid expanded PVC using UV-cured inks for standout results that hold up outdoors.
Full-sheet Foamex boards are strong, surprisingly light for their size, and reusable — a genuine advantage for exhibition contractors and retailers who redeploy panels between events. Despite covering the equivalent of forty-eight A4 boards, a full sheet reads as one designed surface rather than a tiled grid, which is exactly what large-format signage needs to look professional from distance.
Full-Sheet Dimensions Explained
Site drawings, stand plans and retail briefs each write this size differently. Every line below refers to the same panel.
| Unit convention | Dimensions | Typically used by |
|---|---|---|
| Trade shorthand | 8×4 | Sign trade, contractors, hoarding installers |
| Feet | 4ft x 8ft | Site specification and materials ordering |
| Inches | 48in x 96in | Print and fabrication specification |
| Centimetres | 122cm x 244cm | Retail, exhibition and event briefs |
| Millimetres | 1220mm x 2440mm | Architectural drawings and CAD files |
| Area | 32 sq ft (2.97 m²) | Pricing and material calculation |
5mm or 3mm? The Decision That Matters at Full Sheet
Both thicknesses print identically and both are rigid expanded PVC. At A4 the choice barely registers. At 122cm x 244cm it is the most important specification decision on the page, because span, wind load and handling weight all scale with area.
5mm Foamex is the default for full sheet. Across a 244cm span, 5mm holds itself flat with no bow when fixed only at its edges — which is why it is correct for hoarding panels, shop fascias, freestanding displays and anything exposed to wind. At 32 square feet, wind loading is substantial and the extra 2mm is what keeps the panel from flexing.
3mm Foamex costs around 15% less and is noticeably lighter to carry and lift into position. Choose it where the sheet will be fully bonded to a backing wall, seated inside a frame, or mounted indoors in a sheltered position with support behind it. Two people handle a 3mm full sheet considerably more easily than a 5mm one, which matters across a multi-panel install.
In practice: exterior and freestanding full-sheet work takes 5mm; interior wall-bonded and framed applications take 3mm and pocket the saving.
| Requirement | Recommended thickness |
|---|---|
| Construction hoarding, exposed to wind | 5mm |
| Shop fascia or exterior wall-mounted | 5mm |
| Freestanding or edge-fixed only | 5mm |
| Exhibition wall with frame support | 3mm |
| Interior panel bonded to backing wall | 3mm |
| Sheltered indoor display, supported | 3mm |

Whether you are working from a logo, a photograph or a complete layout, we will make sure your content scales properly and sits where it needs to be read from. Our design team understands that large-format artwork is a different discipline from small-format work — content positioned at eye level, imagery that holds up at 32 square feet, and type sized for the viewing distance the panel will actually face.

Full-Sheet Foamex Prices
A full sheet covers 32 sq ft, which lands in a substantially cheaper per-square-foot band than any A-size board — around £2.82 per sq ft against £8.95 at A4.
| Delivery service | 5mm full sheet | 3mm full sheet | 3mm saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard — 5 working days | £90.24 | £76.70 | £13.54 |
| 72 hour | £108.29 | £92.05 | £16.24 |
| 48 hour | £121.82 | £103.55 | £18.27 |
| 24 hour | £148.90 | £126.57 | £22.33 |
| Same-day collection | £180.48 | £153.41 | £27.07 |
Single-sided, unlaminated. Double-sided UV printing adds 15%; matt or gloss lamination adds 10%.
Bulk Rates for Multi-Panel Orders
Because rates band by total order area and one sheet is already 32 sq ft, full-sheet orders reach the cheapest bands far faster than A-size ones. A four-panel hoarding run or six-panel display wall prices meaningfully better than the same boards ordered separately.
| Sheets | Total area | Rate (5mm) | Total (5mm) | Per sheet (5mm) | Per sheet (3mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32 sq ft | £2.82 | £90.24 | £90.24 | £76.70 |
| 2 | 64 sq ft | £2.71 | £173.44 | £86.72 | £73.71 |
| 3 | 96 sq ft | £2.57 | £246.72 | £82.24 | £69.90 |
| 4 | 128 sq ft | £2.56 | £327.68 | £81.92 | £69.63 |
| 6 | 192 sq ft | £2.53 | £485.76 | £80.96 | £68.82 |
| 10 | 320 sq ft | £2.51 | £803.20 | £80.32 | £68.27 |
Beyond the saving, ordering a complete scheme as one production run guarantees colour consistency across every adjacent panel — something staged orders across separate runs cannot promise.

Finishing Options for Full-Sheet Foamex Printing
Finishing matters far more at this size, because drilling a 32 sq ft panel on site — often at height — is awkward work, and one slipped bit through a printed face is a £90 mistake.
- Straight-cut edges as standard, precision cut to full dimensions
- Eyelets at four corners for tensioning against hoarding, Heras fencing or barriers — the standard exterior specification
- Eyelets top only for sheltered hanging positions
- Drill holes at four corners for permanent screw fixing to timber, batten frames or masonry
- Drill holes top only for interior wall-mounted panels with no wind loading
- Matt or gloss lamination — gloss adds a useful UV and moisture barrier on exterior panels; matt kills glare on large indoor boards under downlighting
For any exterior full sheet we would specify 5mm with four-corner fixings as a matter of course.
