Shop Display Board Printing for Retail Environments
At Printed Today, we specialise in high-quality shop display board printing designed to enhance the visual appeal of your retail space. Our retail display signage is crafted from durable, lightweight PVC foam sheets, ensuring vivid graphics, sharp text clarity, and excellent durability. Whether you require a single board or a full suite of shop wall signs, we provide complete flexibility over size, finish, and turnaround time to meet your specific needs.
We offer 5 mm foamex for standard wall-mounted displays and 10 mm foamex for freestanding or double-sided in-store boards. Both thicknesses provide the rigidity needed for professional presentation while remaining easy to install, update, or replace to keep your branding fresh and engaging.
Material Thickness Options
- 5 mm Foamex – perfect for wall-mounted signs and promotional displays. Lightweight yet sturdy enough to maintain a flat appearance without warping.
- 10 mm Foamex – ideal for freestanding displays, double-sided boards, and high-traffic areas requiring additional durability and impact resistance.
Artwork Preparation for Display 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 crisp text and vivid imagery.
- Include 3–5 mm bleed and outline all fonts to ensure accurate text and layout reproduction.
Every file is manually reviewed before production. If adjustments are needed, we contact you before printing begins to ensure your shop display board printing job aligns perfectly with your brand standards.
