Materials Our foamcore boards are all multi-layer panels. We offer you different materials, 5, 10 and 19 mm thick:
The structure of these panels ensures they won’t flex, even in larger sizes. Choose between 5, 10 or 19 mm material, depending on your desired aesthetic and strength. Prefer Smart-X® for outdoor application due to the plastic made external surface. If you want to go green opt instead for foamcore or Kapa®tex that are totally PVC free. Choose Kapa®tex if you want to add an extra feeling to your print: its textured surface is ideal for printing pictures and communication full of colours, it reminds of a canvas print and adds a classy touch to your artwork. Thanks to their lightweight nature, these materials are easy to handle and even great for crafting: if you need to cut the material on your own and create something new, we suggest using a milling cutter. Please note that only foamcore 5, 10 and 19 mm can be printed on both sides (same or different printing). With this material you can create double sided boards to be hung from the ceiling or to be free standing with the help of panel stands (read below). |

Formats From the smallest plaque to the biggest panel, we’re able to offer you foamcore printing in various customised sizes. Find here maximum and minimum size (in one piece) for each material:
With Pixartprinting, the possibilities for customization are endless! But if you're looking for popular options, we also offer a range of standard formats to choose from. |
|
|
Want to go with an extra customisation of your sign? Select the custom shape option to give it your own unique format! Create a directional sign in the shape of an arrow, design a panel that follows the edge of your product to catch attention, or get creative with any shape! Just a heads-up: we can do external custom cuts based on the file you send, but we can’t process internal or multiple cuts. |

Accessories & varnish If you’re wondering how to locate your foamcore panel, we offer you multiple solutions to hang it on a wall or another plane surface:

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. And for a stunning shine, add our glossy varnish to your panel. Not only will it enhance your design, but it will also protect the print from scratches. If you’re using the foamcore board outdoors, we highly recommend the varnish for added durability and protection. Please note that, due to its textured surface, varnish is not applicable on Kapa®tex. |
 |
If instead of hanging the foamcore board you need to have it self-standing, we provide panel stands ideal for ensuring stability and safety. Each stand measures 30 x 36 cm and, depending on the width of the panel, we recommend using one or more units, evenly distributed to ensure proper load distribution:
To use the stands, the panel must be pre-drilled with two 10 mm diameter holes, spaced 20 cm apart.
|
|
You can also consider a panel with stand, with a sturdy metal base that can be screwed to the lower part of the panel. With a sleek and essential look, this metal support with a 30 cm base provides stability to your foamcore print (available for Foamcore 10 and 19 mm – PVC-free and White aluminium 3 mm, both in standard and customised sizes). Depending on your selection, one or more supports are offered, as many as necessary to best suppport your panel. You can also order the only print option, in case you have previously purchased the panel with structure and just want to change the graphics: please note that the panel will come pre-drilled at the base to accomodate the same number of metal supports. Choose whether to print front only or front and back. Ideal for exhibitions, displays, point of sale and communications of all kinds, choose afree-standing product that is both versatile and practical. |
The freestanding totem is also available, a fully self-standing solution made from foamcore or honeycomb cardboard. It can be printed on both sides and is available in dimensions ranging from a minimum of 40 x 100 cm up to a maximum of 290 x 150 cm, offering a solid, practical, and versatile option for displaying your message at exhibitions, trade shows, and points of sale. |

| FAQ |
You can easily hang it on a wall 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. Otherwise, you can handle it on your own: if you need to create holes or internal cuts, please use a milling cutter to avoid breaking the foam board. Please note that accessories can only be requested together with the panel and not separately.
For foamcore 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.
Panels cannot exceed a maximum size of 150 x 290 cm. If the selected material has a lower maximum printable size per panel, the artwork will be automatically divided into multiple equally sized panels, to be hung side by side without overlapping. Please note that Designer and template provided offer a general indication of how the artwork may be split; however, the final division into panels may differ due to production requirements. 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.
Yes, foamcore can be used outdoors. Prefer Smart-X® if the panel is totally exposed to the weather and add varnish to protect the print and make it last longer. Consider aluminium for a most durable sign.
No, the edges remain blank, they’re not printable.
Yes, you can write on the faomcore panel, even if varnished, using 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.
At the moment, we only provide a single external cut. Also, you can have a customised cut shape for the external cut.
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.
