FOAM BOARD PANELS Printing in Dubai UAE
FOAM BOARD PANELS printing is an extremely popular large format printing application used by businesses and organizations in Dubai to create visually impactful displays, signages, exhibition booths, retail fixtures, POS displays, product packaging, and more. Choosing the right printing service provider is crucial to getting quality results.
What are FOAM BOARD PANELS?
FOAM BOARD PANELS refer to rigid boards made out of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two thick paper or cardboards layers. They come in different thicknesses like 3mm, 5mm, 10mm etc. FOAM BOARD PANELS are lightweight yet strong and durable.
They are an ideal printing medium because of their rigidity, durability, lightweight nature and smooth flat surface which allows for vibrant colour reproduction. Printed FOAM BOARD PANELS are commonly used for retail displays, exhibition booths, sign boards, POS displays, packaging prototypes, artworks and more.
What are the different printing methods used for FOAM BOARD PANELS?
The two most common printing methods used for FOAM BOARD PANELS are:
-
Digital Flatbed Printing It is the most widely used method for printing on FOAM BOARD PANELS. The panels are placed directly on the flatbed of an inkjet printer and printed with eco-solvent or latex inks. It allows printing of full colour graphics with photorealistic quality.
-
Screen Printing Ink is applied on FOAM BOARDS through a mesh screen using a squeegee. It has lower setup costs and is ideal for printing simple spot colours in high volumes. Quality depends on the screen making process.
Colour Waves uses advanced digital UV flatbed printers that can print directly on almost any rigid or flexible material up to 2 inches thick. It provides stunning colour quality with precision and consistency.

Indoor prints have a longer lifespan. Avoid exposing prints to direct sunlight or moisture for extended periods. Periodic inspection and maintenance helps maximize durability.
