Foam PVC - What is it?
Medium-weight and durable, Foam PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is easily installed and transported. Its matt finish hides fingerprints and is easily cut into shapes, allowing for custom applications.
This product is best suited for long-term indoor or short-term outdoor applications. When used outdoors, it must be sheltered and used in low-humidity areas, as some brands may absorb moisture and mildew when left in exposed locations. Without proper handling, it can be scratched.
Some common brand names for Foam PVC are Foamalux® and Forrex®.
Sizes
Foam PVC is available in various lengths, widths and thicknesses and comes in sheets of up to 2050 x 3050mm (6'10“ x 10').
Thicknesses
The stocked thickness for Foam PVC is generally 3mm and 5mm, but is available in other sizes.
Value-Enhancing
There are several ways you can increase the value and effectiveness of your Foam PVC sign:
- Adding striping and/or borders
- Using bent easels
- Adding lettering colours
- Using a logo
- Incorporating a graphic symbol
- Cutting into unusual shapes or designs
Installation and Care
Foam PVC tends to warp when exposed to heat or sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not leave this product inside your car.

- Self-supporting (bent easel)
