In-Store Sign Board Printing for Retail Environments
Printed Today is your go-to expert for high-quality in-store sign board printing designed specifically for retail environments across the UK. Our durable retail wall signage solutions are crafted from lightweight PVC foam sheets, ensuring vibrant colours, sharp text, and resilience against daily wear and tear. Whether you’re outfitting a new shop or refreshing your current displays, our store display boards provide full control over size, finish, and turnaround to meet your business needs.
Choose from 5 mm foamex for standard wall signage and 10 mm foamex for freestanding or double-sided indoor shop signs. Both options offer the rigidity required for professional presentations while being easy to mount, update, or replace as your promotions or seasons change.
Material Thickness Options
- 5 mm Foamex – ideal for wall-mounted signs, product displays, and promotional boards. Lightweight yet sturdy enough to hang flat without curling.
- 10 mm Foamex – perfect for free-standing signs, double-sided displays, and high-traffic areas requiring extra durability and impact resistance.
Artwork Preparation for Sign Board Printing
- Upload your artwork during checkout or email files to [email protected].
- Acceptable formats include PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, or JPEG at 150–300 dpi for crisp images and text.
- Ensure a 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to maintain text accuracy and brand consistency.
Our team manually reviews every file before production. If any adjustments are required, we will contact you to ensure your in-store sign board printing project meets your exact standards.
