Car Wash Price Board Printing
Printed Today offers exceptional car wash price board printing services for car wash facilities, service stations, and automotive businesses throughout the UK. Our service price signage is crafted on durable, weather-resistant materials that ensure clear visibility, vibrant colour, and resilience against outdoor elements. Whether you require a single price board or a comprehensive signage solution, our outdoor price board offerings provide you with full control over dimensions, finishes, and delivery timelines.
We provide 5 mm foamex for standard wall-mounted price boards and 10 mm foamex for freestanding or double-sided car wash pricing boards. Both thicknesses offer the necessary rigidity for a professional appearance while remaining simple to install, update, or replace as your service offerings evolve.
Material Thickness Options
- 5 mm Foamex – perfect for wall-mounted price boards, entrance displays, and service lists. Lightweight yet sturdy enough to hang flat without distortion.
- 10 mm Foamex – ideal for freestanding boards, double-sided displays, and high-traffic areas requiring enhanced durability and impact resistance.
Artwork Preparation for Price Board Printing
- Upload artwork during checkout or email files to [email protected].
- Use PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG or JPEG formats at 150–300 dpi for sharp text and imagery.
- Include 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to ensure precise price text reproduction.
Every file is manually reviewed before production. If adjustments are needed, we contact you before printing begins to ensure your car wash price board printing job aligns perfectly with your brand standards.
