When people ask us whether a printed product is waterproof, the answer is often, “It depends on the material and the application.”
At Screenprint & Display, we manufacture a wide range of printed products designed for indoor and outdoor use. Many of the materials we print onto are naturally waterproof or highly moisture resistant, making them ideal for everything from construction site signage and retail displays to industrial labels and outdoor advertising.
The key is selecting the right combination of material, printing process and finishing for where the product will be used.
Waterproof printing refers to producing graphics that can withstand exposure to rain, moisture or damp environments without the print washing away or the material becoming damaged.
Unlike standard paper printing, waterproof printed products use specialist substrates and ink systems that are designed for more demanding environments.
Whether you need a temporary promotional sign or long-term industrial graphics, choosing the correct specification is essential.
At Screenprint & Display, we print directly onto a wide variety of rigid and flexible materials suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
Correx® is one of the UK’s most popular materials for temporary outdoor signage.
Lightweight, waterproof and recyclable, it’s widely used for:
Because Correx® is weather resistant, it’s an economical solution for short to medium-term outdoor use.
Foamex is a rigid PVC board that provides a smooth professional finish for retail displays, exhibitions and external signage.
Its moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications including:
Foamex combines durability with excellent print quality.
Where greater rigidity and long-term durability are required, Dibond® aluminium composite material is an excellent choice.
Common applications include:
Its rigid construction and weather resistance make it popular for permanent installations.
Vinyl remains one of the most versatile waterproof print materials available.
Printed vinyl stickers can be produced for a huge variety of applications, including:
Different grades of vinyl and adhesive are available depending on the intended environment and surface. Screenprint & Display also offers specialist waterproof, hard-wearing and lightfast vinyl sticker printing for demanding applications.
PVC banner material has been developed specifically for outdoor advertising.
Its waterproof construction makes it ideal for:
Finished with reinforced hems and eyelets, banners provide a durable solution for temporary outdoor promotions.
Not all posters need to be printed on paper.
For outdoor promotions, events and retail campaigns, waterproof poster materials offer improved resistance to weather while maintaining vibrant print quality.
These are often chosen for:
Screenprint & Display offers waterproof poster printing on a range of specialist materials.
Choosing the right print process is just as important as choosing the material.
Screen printing remains one of the preferred production methods for many industrial and commercial products because it allows specialist ink systems to be applied with excellent durability.
It’s particularly well suited to:
Modern digital UV printing provides exceptional image quality while allowing direct printing onto rigid and flexible materials.
It offers an excellent solution for:
Having both technologies in-house means we can recommend the most suitable process for each individual project rather than relying on a single production method.
No printed product lasts indefinitely when exposed to the elements.
Rain, UV light, temperature changes, abrasion and environmental pollution all contribute to gradual wear over time.
The expected lifespan of a printed product depends on factors including:
For this reason, it’s important to specify where the product will be used so the most appropriate materials and print process can be selected.
Many industries rely on waterproof printed products every day, including:
Typical waterproof products include:
For more than 35 years, Screenprint & Display has been producing printed graphics for customers throughout the UK.
Using both traditional screen printing and modern digital printing, we manufacture everything from individual display boards to large production runs of industrial graphics, waterproof signs, stickers and promotional displays. Our ability to print directly onto rigid and flexible materials means we can recommend the most appropriate solution for each project, whether it’s intended for indoor retail environments or demanding outdoor applications.
