Material

Find the material that best suits your needs among the following:

  • Corrugated plastic 3.5 or 5 mm: white polypropylene panel with honeycomb core. The structure is wave-like, the outer panel is therefore slightly rippled
  • 3.5 mm black honey-comb core panel: a polypropylene panel with dark grey bubble structure and external flat white surface (dark edges). This material is particularly scratch and weather resistant thanks to its rough surface. 100% recyclable

With their sturdy structure, these panels remain rigid even in larger sizes. Made from plastic and hollowed internally, they’re resistant to both rain and wind. While they should be securely anchored, they’re built to withstand the harshest weather, making them ideal for outdoor advertising, road signs, building sites, and real estate boards.

Thanks to their lightweight design, these materials are easy to handle and transport. With the accessories provided (see below), you can have your sign up and displayed injust a few minutes.

Please note that only corrugated plastic can be printed on both sides up to 280 x 180 cm (same or different printing); with this material you can create double sided boards to be hung from above or to be free standing with the help of a base support.

Formats

From the smallest plaque to the biggest panel, we’re able to offer you corrugated plastic printing in various customised sizes.

Find here the maximum and minimum size (in one piece) for each material:

  • Corrugated plastic (both thicknesses) from 10 x 10 cm up to 190 x 290 cm
  • Black honey-comb core from 10 x 10 cm up to 190 x 290 cm

Help yourself with the “i” of information available for each media to discover the smallest and the largest size we can print in one panel.

Larger artworks will be divided into multiple panels, each of the same size, to be hung one close to the other, with no overlapping.

It’s true, there’s no limit to your customisation with Pixartprinting as a partner, but if you’re wondering which sizes are the most used, we also offer you various standard formats to choose from.

Looking for an extra customisation of your sign? Select the  custom shape option to give it your own unique format!

Design a directional sign in the shape of an arrow, create a panel that follows your product’s edge to grab attention, or get creative with any shape you like! Please note that we can only handle an external custom cut based on the path you provide in the file, and we’re unable to process internal or multiple cuts.

 

Accessories & Varnish

If you’re wondering how to apply your corrugated plastic panel, we offer you multiple solutions to hang it:

  • Extra-strong polycarbonate eyelets: transparent polycarbonate eyelets resistant to tearing and high tensile strength. Ideal in case you need to hang the panel on a structure (gates, balconies etc.), you’ll need ties or ropes to anchor it. The eyelets have a diameter of 2.5 mm and are placed 0.5 cm from the edge. Please note the material will look slightly pressed where the eyelets are placed. Insert how many accessories and where to place them while ordering, starting from the corners they’ll be located at the same distance from each other
  • Holes: 9 mm diameter holes along the perimeter to easily fix your panel (screws not included). Insert how many hangers and where to place them while ordering, starting from the corners they’ll be located at the same distance from each other
  • Double-sided adhesive hanging kit: to be attached one piece on the back of the printing, the other on the wall, suitable for easy and quick interchanging of panels onto the same surface. We also provide screws, and wall plugs for an extra strength, to be used on uneven surfaces if the panel does not adhere perfectly to the wall. Elements are provided for all 4 corners. Distance from the wall: 5 mm. Please use a drill cutter to avoid damaging the material
  • Adjustable hanging kit: an invisible kit made of triangular plates to be attached on the back of the panel with the double-sided tape and screws and plugs to hang it on the wall. Once you’ve fixed the plates to the panel, insert the screw into the wall, hang the panel and adjust the angle (up to 45° to ensure its straight). Elements provided for 2 corners. Distance from wall: 15 mm
  • Repositionable sticker kit: 4 removable and repositionable double-sided stickers that avoid having to drill into your walls. Sticker thickness: 3.5 mm. Individual sticker dimensions: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
  • Self-adhesive spacer kit: 4 elements made of clear polycarbonate triangular plates to be attached to the back of the panel and silver nickel spacers. This kit, designed for easy fixation, includes removable side pieces to ensure the correct distance from the edge of the panel. Use double-sided tape to mark drill holes on the wall, then screw the nickel spacers in place. Finally, press gently to secure the panel to the wall. Distance from the wall: 20 mm

Please note that accessories may not be available for some combinations of material and dimension: the website shows only the available options according to your quote (e.g. eyelets are not available for honey-comb core panels)

For a stunning shine, add our glossy varnish to your panel. It will not only enhance your design but also protect the print from scratches. If you’re using the corrugated plastic board outdoors, we highly recommend the varnish for extra durability and protection.

Please note that varnish cannot be applied to black honey-comb core material due to its rough surface.

FAQ
  • How can i hang a corrugated plastic panel?

You can easily hang it on a wall, a balcony or another plain surface using the accessories we provide on the website: choose the option that best suits your needs from the ones described above. Please note that accessories can only be requested together with the panel and not separately.

  • How does the Multi-artwork option work for corrugated plastic panels?
For corrugated plastic panels up to 115 x 145 cm, you can order up to 10 design variations whilst keeping the same choice of material, format and accessories. You can personalise the quantity for each variant and assign a name to easily identify them.
  • How to discover if my order will be divided into panels?

By checking the information under the “i” icon (after selecting the material you want to print), you’ll find out the maximum size for a single panel. Larger artworks will be mandatorily divided into multiple equal-sized panels, to be hung side by side, without any overlapping. Designer and template provided can give you a general idea of how the division may work: please consider it as a rough guideline; due to production needs the division in panels may be different. As for the file, no need to worry: our team will automatically take care of the splitting during production. Therefore, we kindly ask you to send us a single complete design, without dividing it into multiple files. 

  • Is corrugated plastic suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it can be used outdoors. Thanks to its hollow inside, corrugated plastic lets rain and wind pass through and is therefore weather resistant. For a most durable sign, consider aluminium.

  • Are the side edges of the panel printed?

No, the edges remain blank, they’re not printable. Please note that if you choose the black honey-comb core material, the edges are black, not white.

  • Is the direction of the ridges on a corrugated plastic panel always vertical?

No, the direction of the ridges of the internal structure can be either parallel or perpendicular to your design, depending on the size of your print and specific production requirements. It’s not possible to choose the direction, therefore, we recommend not printing these panels to fold them on your own afterwards. If you’re looking for folded displays made of corrugated plastic have a look at our totem 3 and totem 4.

  • Is it possible to write on the panel?

Yes, you can write on the panel, even if varnished, with a permanent marker. Even if you’re using a dry-erase marker, we can’t guarantee that, when removing the drawing, the printed surface won’t be damaged: we therefore don’t recommend using the panel as a dry-erase board.

  • Can i have one or more internal cuts?

At the moment, we only provide a single external cut. Also, you can have a customised cut shape for the external cut.

  • How do you pack panels?

Panels are packed in thick corrugated cardboard with robust protective corners. If you order more than one panel, they may be packed all together or separately. It is not possible to ask for a customised packaging: we always provide the best and safest solution.

  • How can i create my panel design?

Use Designer to create your standard shape panel and get inspired by thousands of free models or ask our help through design services. If you’re creating your file with a design software, please download the instruction document and the template provided once you enter the quote.
