PVC sheeting, foam board and polypropylene
Light but sturdy! PVC, compact foam and polypropylene: rigid sign substrates that are easy to implement are the workhorses of signage: economical, simple to cut, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. From the versatile and economical M1 expanded PVC, to its eco-responsible recycled core version, to rigid foam board and ultra-lightweight honeycomb polypropylene for temporary campaigns: a complete range that covers all uses, from directional signs to displays.
Expanded PVC panel M1
The signalling reflex. Lightweight, robust, and cost-effective, M1 expanded PVC lends itself to all sizes and shapes: silhouettes, 3D lettering, directional signs. Glued, screwed, mounted on an easel, suspended, or assembled in formwork, it can be installed anywhere, safely indoors due to its M1 fire rating.
In direct printing, including double-sided printing, its smooth white surface reproduces rich colours and sharp graphics. Resistant to moisture and UV rays, it can also be used outdoors for short to medium-term applications, and can be laminated or varnished (anti-graffiti, erasable) to extend the life of the visuals.
Available in various thicknesses and mass-dyed colours.
Applications : Interior and exterior signage, decoration, space planning, point of sale displays, information or directional signs…

M1 recycled core PVC panel
Eco-responsible signage. Same versatility as expanded PVC, but with a recycled core: recycled core PVC combines lightness and strength thanks to its multi-layer structure (black expanded core between two rigid faces). Ideal for directional signs, but also for custom lettering and silhouettes.
Its smooth, white surface provides crisp, direct, double-sided printing with vibrant colours. To reinforce it and extend the lifespan of your prints, we offer lamination or varnishing options. Glued, screwed, propped on an easel, or suspended, it can be safely installed indoors (M1 rated) and is resistant to moisture and UV rays for outdoor use. It's an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator.
Its black core, made from recycled PVC, is derived from production waste, making the panel 80% recyclable.

Recycled cellular polypropylene
The flyweight of ephemeral campaigns. Lightweight, rigid and economical, honeycomb polypropylene is the go-to material for temporary signage: directional signs, event displays, construction or estate agent boards. Its honeycomb structure gives it surprising rigidity for its weight, making it easy to transport, handle and install on site.
Resistant to moisture and the elements, it excels outdoors for short-term operations or semi-permanent campaigns. The direction of the honeycomb structure aligns with the fixing and display area, for optimal mechanical holding against the wind.
Its UV printing guarantees sharp and vibrant colours. Laser cutting allows for custom shapes.
100% recyclable: high-energy combustion leaving no residue, or recycling in the form of pellets reintroduced into the production of new sheets.
Applications : Event and temporary signage, construction site signs, short-term outdoor advertising, seasonal point-of-sale displays, property development, building permits…

Rigid M1 Foam Panel
Light, flat, impeccable. The rigid foam board combines two satin-white PVC facings with an expanded polystyrene core: a support that is both lightweight and perfectly flat, ideal for direct printing and screen printing. Its faces, protected by a transparent film, guarantee a sharp, flawless finish.
Classed as M1 fire-retardant, it can be safely installed indoors. Its dimensional stability and ease of cutting make it a valuable asset for POS displays, stands, shop fittings, and events.
