Correx® by Corplex Signs & Boards Printing

What is correx?

Correx is a fluted plastic board which is made from corrugated polypropylene. It’s rigid, colourfast, waterproof and weatherproof, which makes it perfect for outdoor advertising and signage. Correx is also incredibly lightweight and around 3mm thick*, meaning it’s easy to transport and install at your chosen location.

*Thickness varies depending on chosen size

How to design a correx board

Whether you’re designing your new signage yourself or are enlisting the help of your experienced in-house creative team, designing a correx board is simple. Depending on the size which you are choosing, each will be set up slightly differently. For example the finished size of an A3 correx sign is 297mm x 420mm (or 303mm x 426mm with your 3mm bleed) and the size of an A0 sign is 841mm x 1189mm (or 847mm x 1195mm to the bleed). No matter how big you’re finished correx board will be, you will need to ensure your colour mode is set to CMYK and you must ensure you use high resolution images only (at least 300dpi). Anything lower will affect the finished look of the correx printing.

When designing your board you will also have to ensure you flatten your fonts, as we may not have the specific ones you have used in your design. You can be as creative or as clean and simple as you’d like.

What size of correx board should I choose?

Your signage needs will determine the size of correx board you should choose. For example if you are an estate agents who needs to advertise properties for sale, under offer or sold subject to collection, A3 correx signs will work best for your business.

Needing to direct traffic at your concert or outdoor event? Our A2 correx signs are ideal for this. Perhaps your warehouse or industrial unit needs new health and safety posters? Ensure they can withstand anything by purchasing some of our A1 correx signs; ideal for ensuring everyone can see all the important information.

How do I upload my correx board design?

When you add your desired corrugated plastic signs to your basket, you’ll be prompted to upload your artwork. Alternatively, if you’re on the hunt for more printed marketing materials and want to continue shopping, you can upload your artwork to your basket at a later time.

How long will it take for my correx printing to be delivered?
