Whether you’re producing retail displays, construction signage, industrial labels or exhibition graphics, choosing the right material is just as important as choosing the right print process.
At Screenprint & Display, we print directly onto an extensive range of rigid sheet materials and flexible roll materials, allowing us to manufacture everything from a single promotional sign to thousands of industrial components. By combining both screen printing and digital printing in-house, we’re able to recommend the most suitable solution for your application, budget and production volume.
Rigid materials are supplied as solid sheets and provide strength, durability and stability. They are commonly used for signage, display graphics and products that need to stand upright or withstand regular handling.
Some of the most popular rigid materials we print include:
Using our large format flatbed printers, we can print directly onto rigid sheets up to 3,000 x 2,000mm, producing vibrant, high-quality graphics without the need to mount printed vinyl afterwards.
Rigid materials are used across countless industries because they offer excellent durability and professional presentation.
Common applications include:
Different materials offer different benefits. For example, Correx® is a lightweight, economical choice for temporary outdoor signage, while Foamex provides a smooth, premium finish for retail displays and exhibition graphics. Dibond® is often selected where a more rigid, long-lasting exterior sign is required.
Flexible materials are supplied in rolls and can be cut, rolled, folded or applied to a variety of surfaces.
These materials are ideal where graphics need to be installed onto windows, walls, floors, vehicles or temporary structures.
Popular flexible materials include:
Roll-fed digital printing allows continuous production of long graphics, banners and self-adhesive materials while maintaining excellent image quality.
Flexible substrates are incredibly versatile and are used for:
Because flexible materials can often be rolled for transport, they’re also more economical to distribute than rigid boards for many applications.
The material is only one part of the equation.
Different projects benefit from different printing technologies.
Screen printing remains the preferred option for many industrial and high-volume applications. It can produce exceptionally durable prints, specialist spot colours, fluorescent inks, metallic inks, white inks and other finishes that aren’t always practical with digital printing.
It is commonly used for:
Digital printing offers exceptional detail, photographic quality and cost-effective short runs.
It’s ideal for:
Having both technologies in-house means we can recommend the most suitable production method rather than trying to make one process fit every application.
Unlike traditional commercial print that’s restricted to standard paper sizes, large format printing allows graphics to be produced in almost any dimension.
We can print:
This flexibility also helps reduce waste and can improve production efficiency on larger orders.
The best material depends on several factors:
By understanding how your finished product will be used, it’s possible to recommend the most appropriate material and printing process to deliver the best balance of durability, appearance and value.
With more than 35 years of experience producing custom signage, point of sale displays, industrial graphics and promotional products, Screenprint & Display prints directly onto a huge variety of rigid and flexible materials using both screen printing and digital printing technologies.
Whether you need a short production run or thousands of printed items, our team can advise on the most suitable material and print process for your application.
