Some basics about Correx boards
By Ann Williams | June 5, 2008
Having 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.
