    Some basics about Correx boards

    By Ann Williams | June 5, 2008

    outdoor advertising correx boardsHaving corrugated board in plastic has been a boon for anyone wanting to do street signage and produce promotional boards, as it doesn’t get dirty or weather-beaten as easily as the paper-based equivalents.

    We look at the standard for one major manufacturer of this board, Correx….

    The standard thickness of Correx boards is 3mm.

    It comes in base colours: white, yellow and transparent.

    To keep your costs down, the standard sizes available for purchase off the shelf are:
    600mm X 400mm and 800mm X 600mm (slightly different to the A paper sizes)
    You can also order the board to any size that you wish to have at a slight cost premium.

    Printing on plastic corrugated board can be done by two means:
    - One colour wording (much cheaper: I have seen prices from about R8 a board); or
    - in full colour using a vinyal sticker which is applied to the board. (The board shown in this post is one that I had made up about a year ago and which cost me about R120 including the design/layout.)

    Please feel free to comment on this post, particularly if you are a print shop. We would like to know a bit more about pricing or any interesting jobs that you may have done.
