What is a Correx Board Sign?

Correx boards are often used for signage due to their lightweight and waterproof qualities. This corrugated plastic board is basically a polypropylene fluted board – commonly known as Correx. For signage boards that need to be placed outdoors, Correx is a popular option.

If you are considering using Correx boards for signage, here are a few ways in which they are commonly used:

1. Estate Agencies

Real estate agents need a range of property boards to display on all available properties. Since these boards need to be placed outdoors, most of them are printed on to Correx material as it is affordable and weather-proof. Both flag style and T-style estate agent boards are printed on Correx to ensure long-lasting durability of the sign. Modern digital printing allows real estate agents to experiment with a range of colours and photographs by easily printing any design on the Correx boards.

2. Construction Boards

Construction sites need a wide range of boards to be placed at the entrance. Apart from the basic ‘under construction’ boards, there are also warning boards for heavy machinery or underground digging. Since these construction boards are supposed to stay at the construction site for as long as the project duration, Correx boards are the perfect option. Printed Correx signs can include PPE requirements and hazard warnings on construction sites. Additionally, correx construction boards can also be attached to the construction site using screws to ensure that they stay in place.

3. Direction Signs

For people who organize marathons or other events where people need to be guided, Correx boards are a popular option. Correx boards are cheap to manufacture, ideal for outdoor use, and can easily be tied into place. Since Correx boards are highly durable, the same direction signs can also be utilized at the next event. Many traffic police departments also use Correx direction signs to notify drivers of road closures or other warning signs on the street.

4. Trading Boards

Many companies choose to display some of their latest work outside their facility in order to attract new customers. For this use, Correx boards are ideal because they allow for easy printing of both lettering and images. Builders, roofers, and scaffolders temporarily hang Correx trading boards outside the property they are working on. Since the board contains relevant contact details, these workers are able to attract new customers for themselves through Correx trading boards. The best part is that Correx trading boards are easily moveable, meaning that they can be carried from one site to the next without spending an extra penny.
