Soft Board Printing from Printed Today provides premium lightweight signage materials designed specifically for temporary indoor applications. These versatile printed soft boards combine affordability with exceptional print quality, making them an ideal choice for businesses seeking cost-effective promotional solutions without compromising on visual impact.
The smooth, rigid surface of our Soft Board Printing provides an excellent substrate for high-resolution digital printing, ensuring your graphics, photos, and text appear crisp, vibrant, and professionally finished. Whether you’re launching a seasonal promotion, exhibiting at a trade show, or creating temporary directional signage, our soft sign board printing delivers outstanding results every time.
Primary Applications and Uses
Soft Board Printing excels in numerous temporary indoor signage applications. Retailers rely on our services extensively for point-of-sale (POS) and point-of-purchase (POP) displays, showcasing special offers, product information, and promotional campaigns throughout stores, shopping centres, and showrooms. The lightweight construction and ease of installation make printed soft sign boards perfect for window displays that need frequent updating.
Trade show exhibitors appreciate the portability and quick assembly of soft indoor sign boards graphics. Use them for booth backdrops, header signs, product displays, and directional signage that travels easily between venues. Event organisers choose our Soft Board Printing services for conferences, community gatherings, and temporary installations where professional appearance matters but permanent fixtures aren’t required.
Create life-sized standees and custom-shaped cutouts for engaging promotional displays in high-traffic areas. The soft boards cut easily into bespoke shapes, allowing unlimited creative possibilities. Professional and educational environments use printed soft sign boards as presentation aids, mounting charts, diagrams, and visual materials on rigid, smooth surfaces that stand upright independently or mount on walls.
Key Benefits of Printed Soft Boards
Lightweight and Portable: The core construction makes these soft boards exceptionally easy to handle, transport, and install. Reduce labour costs and shipping expenses whilst maintaining complete control over placement and positioning for your temporary indoor displays.
Cost-Effective Solution: Our soft sign board printing offers an economical alternative to more expensive materials like acrylic or metal, making it perfect for temporary campaigns, limited-budget projects, or businesses that update signage frequently.
Easy to Fabricate: Cut to size using simple tools or precision CNC machines. The material’s versatility allows for high customisation, including intricate shapes and custom dimensions tailored to your exact requirements for temporary indoor applications.
Superior Print Quality: The smooth, even surface accepts various printing methods including digital printing and screen printing, ensuring vibrant colours and sharp details that capture attention and communicate your message effectively.
Versatile Finishing Options: Enhance your soft indoor sign boards with protective lamination in matt or gloss finishes, adding durability and visual appeal whilst protecting against fingerprints and minor surface damage.

Artwork Requirements for Perfect Results
| Specification | Requirement | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| File Size | Must match your selected soft board dimensions | Ensures graphic fits perfectly without stretching or distortion |
| Bleed Area | 1.5 inches (38.1mm) on all sides | Prevents white edges after trimming and finishing |
| Resolution | 300 DPI at actual size | Maintains sharp, professional image quality when printed |
| File Formats | PDF, AI, PSD, EPS, PNG, JPEG, TIFF | We accept 10+ formats for maximum flexibility |
| Colour Mode | CMYK preferred (RGB acceptable) | CMYK ensures accurate colour reproduction in print |
Note: This table outlines the essential artwork specifications required for optimal print quality with our Soft Board Printing services. Following these guidelines ensures your graphics are reproduced accurately without colour shifts, blurriness, or unwanted white borders. Our pre-press team reviews all files before production to catch potential issues early.
Finishing Options for Soft Board Printing
Customise your printed soft sign boards with professional finishing options that enhance appearance, protect against damage, and extend the usable lifespan of your temporary indoor signage.
Finishing Options
Eyelets: Eyelets are reinforced metal rings added to selected points on the soft board to create tidy hanging and tie-off positions. Choose eyelets when the board will be suspended, fixed to a frame, or secured with hooks, cable ties, or bungee cords. Top-only eyelets suit simple hanging displays; 4-corner eyelets improve stability and reduce movement; and 50 cm apart plus corners is best for wider boards where extra fixing points help keep the board flatter and more secure.
Drill Holes: Drill holes are clean, pre-made fixing holes for screw or wall-mount installation. Select drill holes when the board needs a more fixed, aligned finish on walls, panels, or display systems. Top-only holes work well for quick mounting from above, while 4-corner holes provide a firmer hold, especially for larger sizes or busier indoor environments where the board must stay positioned neatly.
No contour cutting available (customer trimming possible): Soft boards are supplied in standard rectangular cuts rather than custom shapes. If you require a specific outline, you can trim the board yourself after delivery using suitable cutting tools, which is useful for minor sizing adjustments or fitting within frames and display areas. This option is ideal when you want a straightforward, cost-effective finish without shaped cutting.
Printing Options
Single-Sided Printing: Our standard soft sign board printing option places your design on one face of the soft board, with the reverse remaining unprinted. This is the most economical choice and perfect for wall-mounted displays, directional signage, or any temporary indoor application where the board will only be viewed from one angle. Single-sided printing works brilliantly for retail window displays, presentation boards, and booth backdrops where the board is positioned against a wall or support structure.
Double-Sided Printing: For temporary indoor displays that will be viewed from multiple angles, double-sided Soft Board Printing places graphics on both faces of the soft board. This option is essential for freestanding displays in open spaces, suspended ceiling signs, window graphics viewed from inside and outside, and trade show graphics positioned in walkways or centre aisles. Double-sided printing ensures your message reaches audiences approaching from any direction, maximising visibility and return on investment in high-traffic environments.
Lamination Options
No Lamination: Choose unlaminated soft indoor sign boards when budget is the primary concern and the signage will be used for very short periods in protected indoor environments. Unlaminated soft boards still deliver excellent print quality but lack the protective layer that guards against fingerprints, minor scratches, and handling wear. Best suited for one-time events or temporary displays that will be replaced frequently.
Matt Lamination: Matt lamination applies a non-reflective protective layer that significantly reduces glare and unwanted reflections on your soft sign board printing. This makes matt-laminated soft boards ideal for brightly lit retail environments, areas with large windows or skylights, photography displays, and anywhere readability under varying lighting conditions matters. The matt surface provides a sophisticated, professional appearance whilst protecting the printed surface from fingerprints, minor abrasions, and general handling damage. Matt lamination is particularly popular for corporate presentations, educational displays, and gallery-style exhibitions where text readability and image clarity are paramount.
Gloss Lamination: Gloss lamination creates vibrant, eye-catching colours with enhanced depth, richness, and visual impact on your Soft Board Printing. The reflective surface intensifies colour saturation, making images appear more vivid and attention-grabbing—perfect for temporary promotional displays, product launches, retail point-of-sale materials, and any indoor application where maximum visual impact is the priority. Gloss lamination also provides excellent protection against fingerprints, scratches, and surface wear. Choose gloss lamination when your printed soft sign boards need to stand out in competitive retail environments or capture attention in busy trade show halls.
